I think I got the issue with having to log in before seeing the market page mitigated somewhat.

Killed two birds with one stone.  Wink  The disclosure must now be agreed to before seeing the market or the individual assets.  It's virtually the same disclosure as that in the registration agreement, but this way there's a periodic reminder that participants should only be using the site for education/entertainment/fun.

I know a lot of people out there are not going to like this much, but we have to make sure people are not being tricked or misled into believing anything on the site is a real security.

Cheers.



This is asinine, did a lawyer really advise you to do this?

EDIT: Isn't this fraud on your part? Claiming the site is something other than what we all know it is (and have proof of you admitting).

EDIT: Where do I get credits to play this game? Can you fill my account? 5000btc would be good to start!

Something tells me you skipped the ToS when you registered?

By registering, you acknowledge that you have read the above Terms of Service and you agree to the Terms of Service.

{I Agree, Register Me!}

It hasn't changed significantly since Dec 2012 when the site rolled out.

I knew not everyone would like the periodic reminder.   Undecided

Your reaction pretty much proves the necessity behind it though.


Edit/Add: We'll be making recommended changes from our legal team gradually over the next several months.  This change did not come from them.  This change was because non-users were viewing the market and/or assets before having read the ToS and thus people were getting misled.
