7 Any centralized service is to be hacked
8 MultiSig wallet is needed
9 MultiSig wallets Multisignature wallets are used to deposit client s coins. The exchange does not take possession of the traded coins. 2-of-2 Multisig address requires two signature to spend coins from it: Client s signature Exchange signature Client 2-of -2 Multisig wallet Client + Exchange Exchange
10 MultiSig wallets advantages MultiSig wallet provides the following advantages: Coins flow control Exchange signature required for each transaction Client identification (KYC) registered clients only are allowed to trade Coins safety even if exchange is compromised clients will not lose their coins
11 MultiSig wallets refunds To guarantee funds recovery from the MultiSig wallet Exchange provides offchain «refund transaction» Client 2-of -2 Multisig wallet Client + Exchange Exchange Refund Offchain transaction nlocktime=31d Refund transaction can be broadcasted after 31 days
12 Bitcoin Scaling Issues 1 Mb blocks: 7 transactions per second (250 bytes/transaction) 220 mln transaction per year(!) Not enough for city, let alone the world
13 Bitcoin Scaling Issues 1 Billion transaction per day requires: 1.6 GB blocks 87 Tb/Year Centralization (!) 1 Billion people doing 2 transaction per day: 24 GB block 3.5 Tb/Day 1.27 Pb/Year Bigger block = Centralization Very few full nodes Very few miners De facto inability to validate blockchain
