Carbon - Buy Cryptocurrency Instantly using Credit/Debit

@alphahunter Great question . Also interested

@alphahunter @itstheandre our fees are now 2.99% or $2, whichever is higher! if something goes wrong, we refund (ie order was not completed) but you do need to make sure your public key is correct. we do not! bank transactions say `Carbon Money` and that's it :)

@itstheandre @gmaijoe how secure is it to do transactions without signing up?

@itstheandre @alphahunter it is very secure - we also have PCI level 1 compliance (highest standard for storing users sensitive info). See a gif of the checkout process for Apple Pay: https://twitter.com/carbon_money...

@alphahunter @itstheandre @gmaijoe That's pretty reasonable! Lower than what I've been paying, at least.

@rafhar nor to Nepal.

@rafhar @alphahunter we are working on global coverage through twilio right now - we also let users sign up if the countries don't work. thanks for letting us know

@antdke we currently don't support USA because MTL's are very expensive but we are covered otherwise in the world with our EU licenses :)

@gmaijoe Dope dope. Do you plan to move into the US sometime in the future? I read something recently that said Coinbase’s “moat” is its licenses to operate in the US. Do you plan to compete somehow or do you plan to operate differently? (Lots of questions, I know 😜)

@antdke yes we are a noncustodial version of Coinbase - we specialize in allowing anyone to become a Coinbase - do that’s the difference. These licenses are something we are in the process of obtaining ATM :)

@gmaijoe Nice. Supplying pickaxes to the gold miners ⛏ 💎 That’s really cool, Gavin. Looking forward to seeing how Carbon grows. I’ll follow on Twitter

@em thanks a lot! glad you are trying it. We are rolling out a referral program soon :)

@deborahrayne31 we are based globally (one office in US and one office in Europe) - non-US for now but that will be changing in the near future

@akmnitt yes we have merchant API endpoints

@o_lalonde can you specify more? are you talking just pure liquidity provisioning?

@gmaijoe No, I am more worried about you losing your payment processor/merchant account. You will likely get a lot of fraudulent charges from stolen credit cards, fraudulent chargebacks, etc.

@o_lalonde yep so fraud is definitely a big thing but we’ve taken very strong steps to counter fraud - we’re actually more of an analytics company now rather than pure brokerage. The team with best data will will longer term

@babettebureau oh we have the whole thing done already :) stay tuned and follow us at @carbon_money for more news soon
