This begins with a username/password at
the Login Endpoint and requires 2-factor authentication via Authy or your mobile phone (set up via
the BitGo website)."
mircea_popescu: it'd have been a lot more helpful if instead of empty boasts and declarative statements
they just explained
the math.
mircea_popescu: "BitGo is
the only company in
the industry we
trust
to secure our hot wallet.
The integration was very straightforward, and now I can sleep better at night knowing
that my customers' holdings are secured with BitGo."
