RE: Introducing STEEM Gift Cards – A fun way to give someone STEEM for the holidays!

in #christmas6 years ago (edited)

I was actually joking about STEEM Gift Certificates in a comment today! And here we are, wasn't a joke after all! This thing actually exists!? Glad to see it's open source on GitHub. However...

NOTICE: The steemgifts.com website is not using SSL! Use with EXTREME caution.

You know what to do guys, setup a SSL certificate! It's a must for any website nowadays.

Sort:  

Updates have now been made to address this.
Again thank you for your feedback.

I invite and encourage everyone to express concerns or inconveniences they see with the current version. It is meant to be a first prototype to generate feedback.

Great. Also, edit the post to reflect the new change :)

We got it up and running yesterday, works fine :)

Edit: thanks for the feedback. As mentioned in the post (but which I could perhaps have highlighted even more) this is meant to be a proof of concept. I am more than happy to provide the card only with the requested account name and amount of steem, with no password written on it, for someone who would like one to give the card and then do the account set up and transfers themselves.

Any other comments on the general idea are also welcome.

Yeah it's more of a proof of concept than anything else, you're free to get the source code and run it yourself locally if you don't trust us ;)

Yes I saw the source code :) But it would be wise to offer the users a secure website. People will click blindly on anything without checking if their connection secured or not. It's very easy to setup a free SSL certificate, try https://letsencrypt.org/.

Of course it's planned, but here we were rushing to put it out before christmas ^^

@drakos! Hero of the 'hour'!!!!

You've earned a tip! for this important looking out!

Peace.

Let's Encrypt is free and easy to set up and renew. Takes me 1 line of copy-paste code to sort out. Thanks Drakos for looking out.
