It was the Bitcointalk forum that inspired us to create Bitcointalksearch.org - Bitcointalk is an excellent site that should be the default page for anybody dealing in cryptocurrency, since it is a virtual gold-mine of data. However, our experience and user feedback led us create our site; Bitcointalk's search is slow, and difficult to get the results you need, because you need to log in first to find anything useful - furthermore, there are rate limiters for their search functionality.
The aim of our project is to create a faster website that yields more results and faster without having to create an account and eliminate the need to log in - your personal data, therefore, will never be in jeopardy since we are not asking for any of your data and you don't need to provide them to use our site with all of its capabilities.
We created this website with the sole purpose of users being able to search quickly and efficiently in the field of cryptocurrency so they will have access to the latest and most accurate information and thereby assisting the crypto-community at large.
me: speaking of that, remember that convo on rawx about 2fa in a wallet, i vaguely recall why that isn't such extra secure feature you guys were talking about Sent on:2:01 am
dev:
its because its local, not network
can just use that privkey on a different pc lol
ok so i steal wallet.dat and built my own binary and take out 2fa
can pull all staking code out of a wallet and still have it sync and work just fine, for example
but yea, the 2fa they use is local, not network, so its pointless
2fa on sites go through third party (google, authy, etc)
however, a wallet can be built to ignore it, sites cannot be edited in such a ways
open source is a bitch when people who know what theyre doing get ahold of the source lol
me:ya indeed, and i thought so too, about that cause it wasn't using the network it's a failed system
dev:
correct
using the network centralizes it
which most people would hate, but some things need to be
in this case it's security so shouldn't be an issue to be centralized not about controlling movement of funds
but then dev has access to keypairs and could put in backdoors, etc
it would be best to make it network-wide but go through google or authy or something
do that and youre on to something
