Leroy,
Hello Investors,
We have made some changes in our OKCash wallet, for those of you watching and have all the information we used to have 23 addresses in that wallet. The new V3 update has us merging our addresses now, so when i am done we will have only 3 addresses instead of 23. This was done to make it easier for me to structure the blocks every day. If you have any questions or want the exact addresses to be able to watch us staking the coins please PM me here or send an email to payments(at)stakeminers.com.
How about having one address per wallet and publishing it so that investors can track the performance of their investment?
We also had another situation arise this week, a member registered with a disposable email, and I guess he could not email from that email address. Your email is the only thing you can use to make important changes to your account.
That's silly. It is easy to fake your sending address. Let people set up a username and password, or PGP key, or - well, anything other than plain text email!
StakeMiners would not be a very secure investment at all.
Heaven forfend!
There is information in your account area that shows how many BTC are invested with us and how much we have paid out, Those values you see on the site for BTC invested and BTC paid out are not calculated by me but by the database. We are not in any way giving any misleading information, the BTC invested you see is how much BTC is invested with us, the BTC paid out is how many BTC we have paid out to date. Plain and simple as that.
Here's the problem:
Suppose you only have one investor. Suppose he invests 100 BTC. You use it to buy altcoins to stake.
On the site you show:
invested: 100 BTC
paid out: 0 BTC
A week later he asks to withdraw his whole balance so you sell the altcoins to get him his BTC. Due to exchange fees, slippage, and altcoin volatility you only get 90 BTC when you sell, so you send him his remaining 90 BTC.
What do you then show on the site? I suspect it's this:
invested 10 BTC
paid out: 90 BTC
The "invested" number makes it look like you're holding 10 BTC of value still, but in fact you're holding nothing. The 10 BTC is actually a loss taken by your investor, and is now in the pockets of the exchange and its smarter traders. This, I think, is what people are saying is "misleading". The "invested" number includes losses due to exchange fees, slippage, and altcoin price volatility. It would be less misleading if you showed a profit/loss amount. In this case:
invested: 0 BTC
profit: -10 BTC
That would be less misleading, but would look bad.
Lastly, the topic of this thread is a little offputting, as is the style adopted by your PR representative. He seems to draw attention to all the least attractive parts of your investment scheme with large fonts and gaudy colours. I suggest switching back to your main thread and firing this guy.
