Please please please take a look at linking into Moneypot (MP). I would love to be able to seamlessly transfer my MP funds onto your platform in order to trade opportunistically. Right now I hold a stack of coins on Moneypot, but find myself transferring them out to an exchange (1broker, Bitfinex, etc ...) when I need to put on a trade. Previously I traded on Bitmex, until they stopped servicing US-based customers. :-(  I haven't been able to find a comparable derivatives service since.
*A link/connection to MP will give you immediate access to thousands (?) of potential traders ... perhaps not a bad move once you launch.

I think at the very least it would mean we would need some additional functionality to our API. Currently we dont support withdrawals/deposits(getdepositaddress) via API, but surely can be done quite easy. Its quite common for an account owner to hand api keys to a programmer/tradebot/trader, and not always should be possible to allow for withdrawal with API keys...so a apart from adding it to the API, also the system should allow for creation of API keys with and without possiblity to withdraw. Moneypot also seems also just a service for casinos, so I dont know if we will go that direction...(in some sense... options exchange is a casino, and actually more way exciting than a casino...)
