Coinbeam: The Quickest, Safest Payment Solution
Don’t confuse CoinBeam with a web-wallet, CoinBeam provides Bitcoin transfers and payments with the ease and anonymity originally envisioned with the protocol – all packaged in a simple, incredibly fast, interface.
By design, CoinBeam makes it easy to get started using Bitcoin, while preserving your personal security – no matter if you are sending money, or accepting it for goods.
I asked their team what drives their vision, and it is simple:
The current money transfer system is full of overpriced fees, as well as time consuming and privacy abusing procedures. Primarily we were thinking about our clients – merchants, businessmen and everyday consumers to whom we wanted to give a simple money transferring system, with a user-friendly interface, enjoyable from the very first moment.
We believe, that CoinBeam can dismantle the old and unwanted methods of global money transfer, making our vision become an everyday reality for people around the world.
Anonymous
Requiring only an email address to get started, CoinBeam assigns you a 12 digit account number used for logging in.
“Valuing the time and privacy of our customers has been the core element when designing CoinBeam,” said the CoinBeam team. “we have successfully created a system, within which the BTC transfer is absolutely safe, anonymous and extremely fast.”
When I say “only an email address,” I mean exactly that. There are no verification levels, no scanning and emailing documents – just a one time email.
Getting my own account set up took 10 seconds – or however long it took for me to change windows to my email and click a verification link. Setting up a payment button for an e-shop is merely one click away, simplifying the experience of accepting Bitcoin for goods.
With no downloads required, no blockchain syncing, and no verification process, CoinBeam is the solution for the merchant or consumer who simply wants to use Bitcoin right now.
Worry-Free
Using a fully 128 bit encrypted SSL system, you can be sure your connection to CoinBeam is secure. Additionally, passwords are not stored with CoinBeam – so your account is as safe as you choose.
With CoinBeam, there is no set-up cost, no maintenance cost – and there never will be. It also has employed legal specialists to ensure the continuing compliance of any applicable regulations.
External transfers remain low at a competitive 1%, and internal transfers (that can be made using account numbers) are super-low at 0.0001 BTC.
Going Forward
CoinBeam is a growing company, and as such must maintain focus on their vision. I asked about their plans going forward:
We believe in the future of CoinBeam, and we work hard on achieving success. Together with our team of professionals we are constantly working on developing and improving our the system. In the near future, we plan on developing our system to accept other crypto-currencies. We are also currently working on the development of CoinBeam applications so our system can be even easier to use on different mobile devices.
Whether you are a Bitcoin beginner, or a merchant looking to improve payments, you can count on CoinBeam simplifying your financial life, and continuing to do so for a long time.
