Is anyone concerned, in terms of security, with the current website login of:

username:
password:

Just thinking out loud, but taking an example, let's say we know someone sent 45 BTC on or before a specific date/time. We know who it was because they posted 'whoa, I just sent 45 BTC!' here in this forum (I notice there are several members who have posted their deposit amounts looking back at the post history).

The blockchain can be easily searched for all 45 BTC transactions prior to that date (for, say, the period 2 or 3 days prior). There may be several matching hits, but likely not a huge number.

We know the user's bitcoinmax.com name from the forum here. We could then try a login at bitcoinmax.com using that name, and the various deposit addresses found from the blockchain that matched 45 BTC. Eventually the login would be successful and the 'imposter' would have access to the account.

I may be missing something (and I hope I am), but I'm asking for someone to convince me that the / system used by bitcoinmax.com is secure from a hack similar to what I've described above.

What is there to be concerned about?  So someone could possibly be able to see your deposit address, balance, and toggle whether to reinvest or not.  There is no access to your funds through the website.

Hmm, just receive my deposite address via pm but can't login (wrong username or password).
Using my forum username as username and the deposite address as password. I've double checked everything.

Do I first have to transfer coins before I can login?

okay done...

...when you log in, it should auto-detect any new (confirmed) deposits.
It seems the auto-detection is not working

it works for me.

no coins are kept on that server.

so withdraw will always just be a 'request' which i'll fill manually once a day.


^^^  This is one of the reasons I am in the process of moving my investments here.  payb.tc has a history on the forums and I believe can be tursted, he also thinks about security.

Thanks payb.tc!

thanks bob.

lenders can now also change their own 'reinvest' settings via the bitcoinmax login area under 'settings'.


Awesome, thanks.  This is a rad service you have set up and I am a huge fan.

Yep, me too Smiley

Add an auto withdraw section to the site and it'll be perfect I reckon Smiley

Better option IMO. No change of hacking that way. Better safe and slow compared to fast but lose all our coins due to a hack.

I can vouch for the reliability and trustworthiness of this service. I received three payouts, then withdrew all bitcoins without a problem, everything in a super-timely manner. (I also was unaware of the website, I just dealt with payb.tc va pm's)

working on parsing the json output from blockchain.info so that deposits show up automatically*

*semi-automatically: you'll have to log out / log in again, coz i don't want to hit their server on every page refresh.


Well, I did log out/ login again but there's no sign of my second deposit?  Huh
If you're updating it manually just take your time as there's no hurries.  Grin

Do you have a limit where you'll stop accepting new deposits at all?
