Blackcoin comes to Coinkite

Today Blackcoin joins Litecoin and Bitcoin, as a fully-featured cryptocurrency on Coinkite. All Coinkite customers can create new sub-accounts to hold BLK (Blackcoin) balances and use the familiar Coinkite interface to send and receive them.

The Blackcoin community has been very helpful, after wining our recent competition to pick the first new altcoin to be added to Coinkite.

Just like Bitcoin and Litecoin, you can now:

- create a voucher, to be claimed by PIN

- send Blackcoins by email

- setup Blackcoin funds fowarding

Blackcoin works on Coinkite terminals too:

- easily create bills for your retail customers to pay in Blackcoin

- buy and sell Blackcoin as a “mini ATM” or mobile exchange service

- access your Coinkite account using your Coinkite card

Tell us your Blackcoin success stories. We’re really excited to be part of a new altcoin and particpate in the BLK community.

Background on Blackcoin

Blackcoin is a “Proof of Stake” coin that doesn’t use large-scale mining. Therefore, it’s considered more eco-friendly and doesn’t waste electricity for security purposes. Your transactions are fast because blocks are sent every minute (not ten minutes as in Bitcoin).

Coinkite does not yet support staking, meaning you will not be credited 1% per annum on your Blackcoin deposits. In time, we may offer that option to our customers.
