Coinut's interface is developed with the goal of maximizing its efficiency and convenience. The core part is written in C++ instead of other slow languages such as PHP (this also makes it more secure). All data is streamed to via WebSocket, which makes the interface extremely responsive and fast.  


== Security ==
In additional the the regular methods adopted by existing bitcoin based sites such as SSL, cold-storage, and Linux based server, it is the first to publish verifiable weekly audit information. The purpose is to increase the transparency of the site.


They adopted the proof of reserve audit approach described in this article https://iwilcox.me.uk/2014/proving-bitcoin-reserves. This method generates verifiable audit results and also has been adopted by a few big name exchanges such as Bitstamp and Bitfinex.

BTC/CAD


However, they move this idea one step further. Instead of relying on a third party, they directly show how much bitcoin reserves they have and how much the total user balance is. The audit is practiced for every week. This removes the necessity of the third party, which users may not trust, and also provide better transparency. The following is a screenshot of their Audit interface.
