Title: MtGoxTrader for Mac
Post by: Anonymous on July 11, 2011, 01:33:09 AM
Hey bitcoiners,

I am Joey S. and I just finished my third mac app. MtGoxTrader for Mac, get it at http://www.mtgtrader.co.cc/ for only $2.99 converted to bitcoins through MyBitcoin, (so right now, about 0.2BTC). I will be giving away 5 free copies to the first 5 people to put a post on this thread that says "MTGOXTRADER FOR MAC ROX" and nothing else. If you win I will PM you and you just need to give me your e-mail and name (for the activation code, no spam). I am only 13 so, I really don't have much money to buy bitcoins with. This is my 16th app, so it is of excellent quality.

Thanks,
Joey S
CEO of The Brainiac Owls

My apps: MyStocksTracker, MyStocksTracker for Mac, MyStocksTracker.com, MtGoxTrader for mac, MtGoxTrader for iOS (coming soon...), BTCSware.com (coming soon, contact me for info), and many more on the iOS App Store.

I'm assuming you've registered this "company" and are reporting said income?

We are currently obtaining an LLC and will then begin reporting income.

You mean your parents, right?

The Business is under the name of my mother, but she is clueless with computers, and my father has no idea how to write in any other language than Matlab, which is not even a real language. I write all of the code, I publish all the apps, I test them, I make the back ends, I do the marketing (as I am doing now). I learned how to program on my own over 3 months, and I wrote my first app, AnnoyingNoises, for the iPhone when I was ten, no help from my parents. I wrote every single line of code (minus third party libraries such as CorePlot and AquaticPrime) in my apps, and never asked my parents for help. The only department that I get help in is in the legal department (LLC, Taxes, Export Compliance). I do 99% of the work, and I am proud of it.

Congratulations!  I started programming somewhere around that age and it's been one of the most enjoyable and useful skills I've ever developed.  I'm 27 now and work in research in theoretical chemistry, simulating on computers how atoms and molecules behave at a microscopic scale.

Keep up the good work!

P.S.: That said, I'd recommend not obsessing over Bitcoin too much.  It's an interesting experiment, but there's a good chance it might fail or be replaced by something completely different.  Enjoy it while it lasts, though!

I think the bitcoin system will really take off once it gets support from someone like facebook (send bitcoins to facebook friends) or google (some amazing google thing).

Just bought a copy, love seeing young developers (14 here)! Also a heads up - might want to take down http://mystockstracker.com/Get_iOS_5%21.html as Apple shuts down any dev accounts that sell those.

Hiya,

Nice little app!  If I was being picky I'd say it's an odd mix of fonts across the interface, but otherwise looks pretty nice :)

However… this is an app you're asking people to entrust their MtGox login details to.  What assurances can you give us about security?  I assume MtGox make you use a secure connection to the server, so I hope that isn't an issue, but what about the app itself?  Does it store the login credentials you give it - if so, does it use its own store or use the Keychain?  As this appears to be a closed-source application, how can I be sure that this application isn't secretly a trojan capturing account details?

Understand that I'm not trying to criticise you, but that you will need to have (good) answers to security questions.  I wouldn't trust a third-party website with my MtGox credentials, so why would I trust an application with them?

I am glad to answer these questions. MtGox does require a https connection, and the login credentials are stored, and I am currently working on an update (t.b.r. later today) that stores the credentials in the keychain. They are currently stored in a file hidden deep in the system. Security is a very important aspect of my application. And if it were a trojan, why would I bring so much attention to the identity of the developer, if it were discovered that it is a trojan, then they would trace my ip from either the host of my website or from this website, and I could be in some legal trouble.

Good answers - glad to hear you're moving towards the keychain; also make sure nothing ever logs those credentials, debugging traffic or not.

It's probably worth mentioning stuff like that on the site, might reassure some people :)

Yah, I never log anything having to do with credentials. The only thing I log is the wallet string, which has been removed in the update I am working on.

Go ahead and buy if you want, I have updated to the keychain.
