I developed GigaDice 2.0.

I know the developer of GigaDice version 1.0 and have spoken with him and continue to speak with him.

I purchased the domain name coinsafe.io from him.

I haven't scammed anyone and would not scam...  I do my best to help prevent scams.

I am connected to him but am not him.

Don't appreciate the accusation without any concrete proof (only circumstantial)...

And why would you say coinsafe.io is an unsafe wallet?  Do you have any basis for proof of this?

To the best of my knowledge you're not a developer and that's just slander.

Alright, first of all I've never heard of anyone purchasing a domain yet keeping it under the old owner's name. This makes no sense at all, there is no way you wouldn't have full ownership of a domain for a wallet service you run. When you purchase a domain it is expected that you have it transferred appropriately. All you've done is increase my suspicion with that admission.


With regards to your wallet service:
View post #12 on your thread, you have yet to respond to it:

I don't think I'm overstepping when I say that your service is insecure for storing coins. And that goes without saying that You couldn't even secure your own coins. I might not be a developer but I've still managed to safely store all my coins.



The domain is registered with gandi.net and I tried to do that when I purchased it.  I've never used gandi.net and couldn't find the option to change the whois information on it (didn't think it mattered much).  If I can figure out how to change the domain ownership information I will - to please you.

Just noticed that post - it wasn't even a day ago.  Give me a break?  Some of us don't browse bitcointalk / run a gambling site full-time.

I did secure my own coins?  Was on top of the matter quickly contacted Coinbase, my bank, changed passwords, and had two-factor authentication.  Nobody has had any issue with coinsafe nor have any coins been compromised.

There has been a string of hacks via the Coinbase API key which is beginning to lead me to believe I wasn't negligent with my key, and that it's an issue with Coinbase.

See here: http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1syfef/psa_disable_your_coinbase_api_key_if_you_arent/

Not to mention - it's not about safely storing coins at all...  I take many precautions when storing coins.  Someone had programmatic access to the API Key (which I never used) and it has since been disabled.  They didn't have access to my coins because I don't keep coins on Coinbase BECAUSE it's not a safe way to store.  I use them for selling BTC.
