1) How do you store personal data. You request people email copies of their drivers licenses. If your email is compromised every developer will have their drivers license stolen.
1) Encrypted, Offline server that's sitting in my next office as noted in the email. The emails are then shredded.
I understand that e-mail is not secure at all. It's like sending a postcard. Anyone along the way can read it.
Would you send a copy of your driver's licence attached to a postcard, even if the receiver promised to shred it upon receipt?
E-mail was not designed with any privacy or security in mind.WE, OUR AGENTS, OFFICERS OR EMPLOYEES AND AFFILIATES, SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF USE, LOSS OF DATA, INTERRUPTION OF BUSINESS...
And that's the actual answer. You at coinsource have placed a waiver so that if your server is compromised it's not your fault. You can't be held liable for your lack of any data protection.
A code review + simple BTT account verification may work better, as a lot of the scammier coins have hidden premines or shady code, and catching this early would be of benefit to people.
This. But not the BitcoinTalk (BTT?) account verification, as not every aspiring coin dev is going to have an account here until it's time to post the ANN thread.
This site's interface is pretty shitty compared to Reddit's. As a new user, I keep getting errors while posting to say I'm posting too much (Am I?). Then when I wait a while longer and post, I get an error that says I've already posted, even though the original post didn't go through because of the 'posting too much' error. Then I have to rewrite the whole thing, or give up.
