Just as a heads up to people, if you adjust your account settings so that you need to be sent an email to make a withdrawal, a hacker who gains access can't change your email address until you validate the change email request via a link sent to your email. So the hacker will need to hack your email address too. If you set up google 2 factor authentication on your email this should be nigh-on impossible unless the hacker gains access to your phone as well.
This was not the case when my account got breached, or it was just simply bypassed. My email and password were changed, and funds withdrawn. Just an update, I can't get any responses from BTC-e support that have more than a few words of broken english, so I will consider my 4.55 BTC lost as a hard lesson learned: if it looks like a website from the aol 5.0 era, it's probably just as secure. Hmm. I've tested this on my account and if I have the 'Withdraw only with request on E-Mail' enabled, to then change the email address or turn off the 'Withdraw only with request on E-Mail' I have to confirm the change by email (This is the first thing I checked months back when I joined btc-e.com, because I realised otherwise it makes the whole email confirmation feature unsafe and pointless if a hacker accesses your acount). Not calling you are a liar but are you absolutely sure you had the 'Withdraw only with request on E-Mail' enabled? If I gave a hacker my password he wouldn't be able to withdraw my funds because he needs my email account to disable the withdraw protection. Withdraw on email, in this case, is a moot point. The attacker was able to compromise my account, change my password and then change the email address on the account as demonstrated by not being able to reset my password until talking to support 24 hours later. Withdraw on email does nothing if you can just change the email address. If 'withdraw only with request on email' is enabled the hacker needs access to your email address to change it. That is my whole point. It's more likely to me you never had it enabled because when it's enabled on my account I can only change the email address by confirming the change by email first, why would your account be any different? |

to monitor the balance of each address, either query bitcoind for the balance of the address, or query a third party api (blockexplorer, blockchain.info).
So I would keep polling bitcoind over and over to keep scanning for deposits to those addresses?  |

My trade with him went fine. However, I insisted he sent first.

I am building a site and I want each user to have a unique wallet address.
I understand I can use bitcoind for this. Say I have one thousand users, how do I generate 1000 addresses that I can monitor and send bitcoins from? Will the server be able to monitor all these 1000 addresses at once?
I am a php developer so I am familiar with certain aspects of web design.
Many thanks

I think FC on Vircurex within 2 Weeks at about 0.0005 - 0.001 BTC. Mark my words  I think there is some chance they will drop in value soon. But long term they are a good proposition. And if Litecoin goes on gox and shoots up even more these Feathers will go up in price a lot too... |

As I continue to give out coins to users at BTC-E, I noticed a bit of resistance I'd like to be able to overcome on a consistent basis. Here are the tough questions:
- Why bother with Feathercoin?
- Will Feathercoin include any different features to distinguish itself from Litecoin?
- Feathercoin is just a coin that is for people that missed the boat with Litecoin, right?
- We don't need another crypto coin, right? Too many, it confuses the public.
- Feathercoins difficulty is already too high!
- The developers just a few variables and called it a new coin
It would be nice if we had a website that addresses those issues. We could keep a consistent message and point users to the link.
The people on BTC-e want to trade. Put FeatherCoin on an exchange and they'll be interested in it. Until then you'll have a tough job convincing any of them. We have come along way in less than a week but we have much further to go. The traction we have gained so far has been incredible. I'm also being realistic. This coin is never going to overtake Litecoin in market value. But that doesn't mean there isn't a place for it, as shown by the huge growth in network hash rate. All those Bitcoin miners are looking for another coin to mine and Feathercoin is looking quite attractive. I'm also noticing much more in the way of bounties and 'community drive' than most other alt currencies... |

Isn't it early to assign any value to this ?
I think they have value as a cheaper alternative to Litecoin for Bitcoin miners to flock to which is ASIC resistant. People are giving them value by the amount of attention they have on the forum. I don't think any coin has had this much traction so quickly. |
