ePay.info 'Securing'

[tt_1111]

A few days ago epay.info established 'secure accounts', meaning you can enter a password — and HAVE to enter your name and an eMail address.

Password protection is basically fine, but entering personal data sufficient to unambigously identify you?

The whole Crypto system is based on a completely open blockchain; everybody can see any transaction. However as long as these transactions aren't linked to a specific IP address, eMail, name etc. pp. it are just BTC addresses with nobody knowing who's behind them. Could be anyone anywhere in the world. If I only know a BTC address that tells me nothing than the business of that specific address. And honestly: Not even the IRS would be interested in you having 'earned' some thousand satoshis at a faucet. Remember that 1,000,000 (!) Satoshis is just US$2.50 currently.

ePay.info is a microwallet, meaning they are collecting micropayments (probably mainly from their 7 faucets) and forward it to the respective BTC addresses once a week.

Thus why they would need personal data? The only answer I can think of is for marketing reasons. Sell them to Google or whoever is interested in people interested in Bitcoin faucets. And I don't see any data privacy statement anywhere on their site. IMHO a devious way to elicit personal data from a person.

---------------------

Apart from that their login system isn't even working very well. Try using two different BTC addresses (e.g. changing it after some days or using different addresses for different faucets). You are urged to secure every single one of it with every navigational click on their site. You confirm their eMail (Hah! It's actually a valid address we can use!) and only the balance of one single BTC address is shown. The others are a pure guess and remain so till payout.

Dear Sir/Madam

ePay team has always tried to their best for their users because we believe When the costumers succeed, we succeed. and valued customer, you are the beginning and the end of everything we do. We understand their needs and exceed their expectations.
The system which is similar to microwallet is one part of ePay and ePay tends to diversify their system for supporting all Cryptocurrencies , web money and even PayPal ,thus the security of the system is indispensable.

We'd like you to know there are still honorable people who like to do their job professionally and we don't know why people always assume the worst  . How much do you think anyone can earn from selling people's private Emails ?
Up until now ePay has paid 105 Bitcoin equivalent to 28.000$ and spent almost the same amount for the system and sites development . We're certain that you don't assume all these efforts has been made for earning hundreds of dollars .
we'd appreciate if you wait and see the developments in the future so you can understand the idea better

Thank you for your time

I've used epay and it's faucets, it my favorite of all I have tried.  I was a little hesitant about the securing feature as well.  I had an issue with is that if you want to use multiple payout address but only have one email address, if you secure all the payouts with one email then you can only access one of the payout address from your epay account.  Seems like if you secure your account there should be a payout key management system so you can track multiple payout addresses.

Hi
After securing level completed ( about 30 days ) every users can add multiple payout method and multiple bitcoin address with one account. It's the future of micropayment systems.
