Re: [ANN] MangoCoinz Official ANN Thread - Mine cryptocurrencies on you smart phone

Hey everybody,

We can't force people not to use multiple phones.
We've asked the person that has those multiple phones, and he gave permission to tell you guys that he has a phone store, and he installed MangoCoinz on a bunch of phones.
He provided us with images, and we looked at them and we saw MangoCoinz running on multiple phones with legit usernames (no PhotoShop).

We don't want to scam anybody, we just wan't to make something cool that everybody can use and benefit from.
So please have some understanding that this is still Beta and please have some patience for future improved versions of MangoCoinz.

Best regards, Srele from MangoCoinz.

in regards to this, i will give you 24 hours to limit the number of accounts this user has or ban him
or i will release the bot i have provided to you privately via email capable of emulating your app so that all of the users here can also abuse your services in this way

altho this would be a questionable action on my behalf, i think it would be completely fair to the rest of the community becasue after all by allowing this user to mass manipulate mangocoinz in the way that he is with permission from you to do so release of the information and code i have would also be fair grounds to the community

there is no point in me working with you and providing you information in regards to protecting your product/service when you are allowing actions such as this and empowering users of the community to do so as well

if this users activities are not haulted or dealt with 24 hours from me posting this then anyone whom wants can pm me for a bot to utilize mangocoinz api's at mass, or alternatively, i will post everything on github with direct links provided here and updated with each update to the app

What stops people from having 50 mining rigs that mine BTC? Is that unfair to the community? The man has 50 phones and gives all of them enough energy to mine as much as he is mining. How is that unfair? Cryptos are all unfair. There are people with resources to mine more than others. That's just the way it is. There are a lot of users in this community that have a lot more coins than even us, the dev team.

From the OP:

The limit is there so that it will give the hacker only the max daily coins and the rest of the shady coins will be cut off. They will not be able to do this for long, because we will see this and we will suspend their account. The limit is also there so that someone cant get a lot of coins through other, non hack, methods. Like chucking their phone into a washing machine. Its just fair.
MangoCoinz is based on honesty and we really think that there are honest people that will play fair and put in the effort for the coins.

So are you guys still upholding that? Running 30 phones sounds like a "non-hack method" to game the system to me. I get it, people do this with Bitcoin farms and such but wasn't the point to be different and fair?

Please, just because someone else is doing something doesn't mean the rest should too, this is the same attitude that messes up politics (or at least one aspect). Don't allow people to game the system.
