+ Coinos is an open source bitcoin web wallet, point of sale, ecommerce marketplace and exchange
+ platform. Development started in Vancouver in September 2012 as a way to provide local
+ merchants with a convenient way to accept bitcoin payments.
+
+ The feature set has grown over the years to accomodate a wide variety of use cases with the goal
+ of making it as easy as possible for anyone to get started using Bitcoin quickly, cheaply, and
+ securely.
+
+ Anyone can download the source code and host their own instance of the platform backed by their
+ own bitcoin, liquid or lightning nodes, or reach out and we'll gladly set this up for you.
+
+ Once signed in, you can create both custodial and non-custodial wallets within your account.
+ The default custodial wallet allows funds to be deposited on any of the bitcoin, liquid or
+ lightning networks and seamlessly withdrawn over any other network without any conversion
+ process or fee.
+
+ Using a non-custodial wallet means keys are generated client-side in your browser so we never have
+ access to the funds. Transactions from these accounts are subject to on-chain transaction fees
+ and Lightning Network payments are not supported but we advise using this account type or a paper
+ wallet for storing larger amounts.
+
+ Intra-account transfers between custodial wallets of different users on our server are completely
+ free, instant, and unlimited.
