Introducing SteemData Notify

arhag (67) · 7 years ago (edited)

This is a great idea.

Unfortunately, it seems like it isn't working right now. I tried using it and haven't gotten a Telegram message confirming my settings even though I sent the correct memo to @null.

Looking through the code I found the likely issue. (Also please consider enabling Issues on the forked GitHub repo so there is an official place to submit these bugs. Furthermore, I noticed there is no license specified in either your repo or flowfree's repository from which it is forked.)

In this line of the code, you require that the memo be exactly 24 characters long, but the memo generated by the service is always 40 characters long.

I have also discovered another issue when experimenting with the service. I first saved settings with some set of options. Then I changed it again with another set of options. In both cases I am pretty sure they are still in an unconfirmed state in your database because of the above bug. But when I try to change the settings back to the earlier configuration, I get an internal server error. My guess is that it is because of this line. I believe it tries to insert a document with the exact same _id as a previously inserted document and that causes an error.

I think what it should do is if it finds an existing item with the same _id, it should first check to make sure that the _id does not match the _id field of find_user_settings(username) (i.e. you are not trying to set the settings to the currently active one), and if those _ids do not match then it should replace the existing found object in the database with the new one (most of the fields would of course be the same but it would have a newer created_at time and confirmed would be set to False). On the other hand if the _ids do exactly match, then it should return a user-friendly error message letting the user know that the settings they want to save are exactly already the currently active settings.

Finally, I think your service should warn users that their settings are completely public. Since they are potentially entering in email addresses and/or Telegram public channel links that could be used to find Telegram handles, it is important users are aware of this fact before entering in any data.

The bugs have been fixed.

As far as privacy goes, the server now sends garbled email/telegram id's.

I appreciate the time and effort you've put into catching bugs and making this report. Thank you @arhag.

I think that the service should never, under any condition expose emails or telegram handles, except for the first and last character. This means that the user would have to re-enter their email/telegram with each setting change. This minor inconvenience however is well worth the privacy.

Would you like me to add your app to Steemtools.com ? Would just use that as the desctiption, unless you want to suggest something more succinct.

SteemData Notify is a free blockchain monitoring service, that sends you (the account owner) Email and Telegram notifications when Payments and critical Account Changes occur.

This is great but can I ask you @furion, why would Alice hold that much money in SBD? If she kept it in steem power the hacker would have to request a power down, which I would imagine would be much more common and much more difficult to pull off without Alice eventually noticing. Can you tell me why it seems like my wallet balance is constantly dropping? These types of hacker transactions all show up on the blockchain correct?

avilsd (63) · 7 years ago

Your wallet balance is constantly dropping because the price of Steem is fluctuating. The wallet has an estimated value on it based on multiple things, including the Steem pool and the prices over the past 7 days. Also, maybe Alice just got paid for multiple posts that paid out 50/50 in SBD and Steem Power. Obviously $10K is a lot, but it was just an example.

This is a great idea. To me it bothers on the security of the account owners. It makes a whole lot of sense to sign up for this and I know it will receive massive adoption for the following reasons:

It does not ask for any of your keys during sign up
It will just send you e-mail alert when someone tries to tamper with your account.
It is very mobile friendly as I was able to setup on an a android phone.
the authentication method is easy with just sending 0.001 sbd to @null.

@furion is a great developer. I admire his dexterity and wisdom in app development especially how he factors what most people will like in designing his app architecture and features.

I expect more self enhancing steemit apps from him and like developers.

valued-customer (67) · 7 years ago

Because of my awareness of my own ignorance of the mechanisms requisite to using cryptocurrencies, and errors, either pilot error (account holders, in this context), or bugs that potentiate hacks, I have refrained from ever investing in cryptos before Steemit.

Further I have also simply not used my Steem, or SBD, in any way, no matter how trivial, because I do not want to compromise my account. I have experience with being hacked and virii aplenty, including paypal, email accounts, and in many other circumstances.

While I don't have much to lose in Steem, and much to gain from using cryptocurrency generally, and Steem in particular, I remain confident that I should have no confidence in my ability to not screw things up.

This seems like a great idea, and I hope it is as useful as it seems likely to be, but, sadly, the general opacity of cryptocurrency to my meager ability to understand the mechanisms requisite to it's use, preclude my inclusion amongst those able to employ it.

I will continue to wait until I have far greater motivation to handle the Steem I have garnered, when I must no longer avoid the learning curve that management will entail.

Nonetheless, your work is laudable, and, despite my inability to take advantage of it, I am grateful that you have undertaken it.

Thanks!

I recommend you buy a chromebook for 100-200€/$ and get a hardwallet (ledger s nano or trezor are the most used ones). You can store youre cryptos on them and the use is easy. But make sure the hardwallet is the right one for your coin.

Hey, thanks very much for your advice!

Unfortunately, made my very first crypto transaction today, inspired by discovering the internal market, and lost somewhere between $40 - $70 of my Steemit account (I think that different things, the internal market, my steemit wallet, steem.supply, etc. each use a differnt method of assessing value, and this has left the amount ambiguous). sigh.

Perhaps I should lurk moar.

Since the blockchain on which steemit is built is public, every change on the blockchain, so whatever happens in your personal account is visible. This app notifys you about important changes , for example if someone had access to your account and wants to withdraw your steem.
