I've added Coinkite in English.
The link skips invitation process.

First of all, thank you for your work on Coinkite. It is always encouraging to see new innovative businesses appear around Bitcoin. I was already aware of your business and planned to watch it closely during the following months.

This said, as you might imagine, promoting services on bitcoin.org is more controversial than open-source wallets for many reasons. Perhaps the most important one is that online wallets have proven that they can represent an important risk for a large portion of Bitcoin users. Such services must take security very seriously.

For this reason, I try to ask some minimum requirements for any business to be displayed so prominently. I am personally not inclined to accept Coinkite until it has been used for a certain period of time with no incidents or worrying complains from users. Coinkite has been launched only 2 months ago and is still in its invitation phase. I suggest to let this pull request open for at least a few months, "wait and see", and get back to it later.

Additionally, like all other web wallets listed on bitcoin.org, the disclaimer for online wallets must be displayed to the user.

I was about to suggest you also add your business in the merchants services list on the wiki but I'm glad to see that it has been done recently. This should already provide you some visibility, bitcoin.org also links to this page.

May I also suggest that you list your CEO / Team on https://coinkite.com/faq/about ?

@saivann Sounds good,
I will leave the pull-request open and come back here in some time.
In the meanwhile, let us know if you need help with anything else.

PS: I'm the CEO/Founder, but we are not huge on titles here.

LGTM, unless someone want to add something, I will merge this pull req in the following days.

I've not found concerning facts about Coinkite so far, business owners are public, and Coinkite claims they are using Hardware Secure Module to secure their users' private keys, which seems like an interesting approach.

@nvk: Can you overwrite your current branch with a single new commit? As said previously, web wallets' disclaimer must be added (like Coinbase), but I'll take care of this. Please note that there is very few clear steps and requirements for wallets to be listed on bitcoin.org thus far. It is possible that more discussion will take place on this subject, so requirements / disclaimers are subject to changes in the future.
