TorBroker

First of all, I'm very interested in idea of your project.
As non-US citizen, I see a good opportunity to avoid many annoying meaningless bureaucratic obstacles.

BUT how do you proof that I will trade at real stock markets through TorBroker (i.e. is it a bucket shop or not)?

There is probably no way for us to prove it. But if we did not hedge customer positions on the real markets, we would be taking on significant risk when our customers do well and request payout from us.

It comes down to what is in our long term interest. With our current fee structure (1%, minimum 10USD, on trades), and with full hedging in the real markets, we are guaranteed to make money on every trade that our customers perform. This is unlike some other Bitcoin trading platforms out there with non-transparent business models that have a high risk of losing money. The way we do it, we have a financial incentive to hedge every position and keep running for the long term.
