Hey Everyone,
I'm working on several projects that will benefit MtGox creditors. However, the 1 remaining issue is that we have to find a way to independently verify that their balances are what they say they are (and link them to an email address). To this end, I have the following solution in mind. I'm looking for volunteers who can help write this software. Also feel free to comment if this is viable or not.
- We create open source software which you can run on your computer
- The software logs in to MtGox through https, and intercepts/saves everything but discards the password. This results in you getting an https session signed by mtgox, with your username and balance inside of it.
- You submit the https session data to a public database, together with the decryption key, and an email address.
- The username and email address should be submitted in hashed format (together as one hash), so noone knows what it is (prevent spam and guessing). Only the websites you give your username and email to will be able to confirm your balance is correct.
Any thoughts?
