I like the sound of most of that, especially the two-factor authentication on all accounts. One thing wasn't clear to me,
"Wallets (and private keys) are stored using AES-256 encryption."
Are individual users wallets stored with a key derived from the users password? Or, rather, could you act, under coercion say, to transfer my funds without my password? (i.e. in a "bank robbery" situation)
