The statistics that I have stated are based on trxs that rely on our tool.
They are not overstated, this is a reflection of the 0conf market on BTC.
They are trxs which our clients query via the API and which I clients pay
subscription for.
There is no point for clients to send us trxs they don’t want or need our
response from. We are a B2b provider so we are not sure how and who the end
users and applications are.
Coinify definitely doesn’t send us all their traffic, as I would think some
of our other clients.
Here is some external confirmation a bit old though but still-
https://blog.coinpayments.net/news-features/gap600
You can also see our video of Coinspaid using our service on our site - all
our Marcom is a bit old.
We service primarily payment processors and liquidity providers and not end
merchants so I can’t say how and to who end clients implement it.
If AML/KYC was enough to prevent double spends all exchanges would offer
0conf.
I don’t know the split with our clients as it’s non of our business but
definitely a significant amount of end users are not Kyced for the trxs.
Best would be to try and talk to some of our major clients - ie
Coinpayments, Coinspaid and Coinify.
