Great idea. I've just signed up and made my first deposit. I must say, though, that "Show my name to everyone" and "Show my name to friends" being default-on (and not obviously so) already erodes quite a bit of my trust, and I'm considering withdrawing my money as a result. My savings, for me, are an entirely private matter.
- adammoelis 6y agoThanks for this feedback. Did you know that this is only to show your first name on a leaderboard if you win prizes above a certain threshold or did you take this to mean something else? Wondering if it's an issue of it not being clear what it means or if even knowing what it means, it still is a privacy concern for you.
- imtavi 6y agoI figured that it would allow my name to be shown upon winning any prizes, although there being a threshold doesn't impact my feelings about it. Either way, I'm not interested in people knowing anything about my savings, and I was surprised that this was default-on and buried in the Privacy section, where I only had clicked out of curiosity.
- adammoelis 6y agoMakes sense. We will look into making this option clearer to the user so they have to explicitly choose which option they want.
- imtavi 6y agoThat's good to hear; thanks for the quick response. (As for the first name thing, just FYI: in my case, my first name + last initial fully identify me.)
- adammoelis 6y agoAh that makes a lot of sense. Would first name alone be fine? Is it the combo that is problematic?
- imtavi 6y agoIn my case, there are only a handful of Tavi's in the world; first name alone would be better than the combo, but still not great and I would still always want to opt out.
