There was a rouge pool no so long ago got all the info of users and swiped all the coins of users using the same passwords on all sites . email confirms are good for safety. IMO
How shall this work? Every Pool I go I set a different login and password and I set the auto payout and every day I check that I got the coins. There isn't much too lose.
I much more worry that the email address I set would be missused.
So if there is really no other way I would anyway create an instead email somewhere and use that.
Fine im not arguing with you, you have an answer for everything.. just do what you want ..
sorry didn't want to be a pain in the a... just honestly wondered why pools want an email confirmation.I use email confirmations for exchanges and cloud mining and such where I really have larger deposits ..there it all makes sense to me. Just the mining pools are somehwhat a different story to me since I only use them to forward me the coins and not as deposit.
But yes maybe for some this increases the securty. I can accept that.
I think you have not lost any coins yet or nothing has been stolen from you. I wuold infact want all pools to get email confirmation when changing PIN/Password/payment address. some pools are thief and steal login information. If payment information needs to be confirmed via email they cant do anything even with your login id and password. and yeah dont blah blah about use different password a person who is mining at 10 different pools at the same time and new pools everyday its almost impossible to keep track of different passwords
I think you are making assumptions about how people use passwords. Those of us who take security seriously use a password manager. We don't need to remember all those individual passwords. It's treating everyone on the internet like they're stupid, whereas it would be better to give them an option to manage their own security. Without email confirmations.
I want to go to bed now, but can't because I'm waiting for my email confirmation. I've been waiting for 5 minutes now from dogemoon. By the time it comes through, will it have expired?
And, why do I need to do a bloody email confirmation just to make my account anonymous? That's just stupid. I wish developers would put more though into their software before making blanket decisions like that. And, for information, I've been a software developer for over 20 years. I know it's not rocket science!
Again ... sigh!
