EOS got a new exchange listing: FoLEx Official

General conversation:

Emma introduces a proposal about how to improve BPs:

Since compromised accounts are still a major problem and source of concern, how about eliminating the requirements for BPs to freeze accounts by simply offering protections for only staked tokens?

With this solution, the time it takes to unstake accounts will be automatically increased by 72 hours when a complainant meets various criteria that include:

1. Owner receives an alert that a staked account has been unstaked by an unauthorized entity; (1st 72 hours)
2. Providing evidence of access to or control of the private key; (another 72 hours)
3. Providing a biometric information to support the complaint; (another 72 hours)
4. Accepting the terms of identification for any harm resulting from the delays; (another 72 hours)
5. Engaging in and completing a process that will lead to the identification of all claimants; (another 72 hours)
6. When all claimants are identified they may agree on the terms for a bond-backed increase in the time it takes to unstake accounts. Alternatively, bonds for time increments will be determined by the value of the account. An account worth 1000 EOS may have the unstaking period increased consecutively with a continuous deposit of 1 EOS. 10,000 may require10 EOS and 100,000 EOS, 100 EOS. The deposits will only be released to a proxy based on predetermined terms when the dispute is resolved to the satisfaction of x or y forum.

You can only validate such scenario if the old keys have a record of being assigned to the account. Otherwise you just have ‘some’ keys. This propositions have other flaws too. Accounts can be legally transfered between parties.The EX party will always have the OLD keys. The EX account owner, can open a malicuous claim against the new owner

Emma answers him:

That’s why the conditions are subject to the satisfaction of forums. It is not for you and I to decide what is satisfactory here. Again, the goal is to mitigate the damages from account exploitation and not to eliminate it.

Marcin@Tokenika.io:

1. Scammer will likely use fraudelant identity. 2. What kind of a bond? Claimant would lock down his assets temporarily? If so – for how long?

What if you keep staking innocents person assets? Would that not be considered an abuse? Such person would surely be deemed a compensation amount depending on the damages caused? And what if that other person prefers to stay anonymous?

I can’t imagine a situation that someone suddenly opens ownership claim against my own account, BPs freeze my assets and request my identity to prove that my account is mine? Then what, I got stuck with frozen assets unless I give out my identity and prove the account is mine? Will the scammer be given my real identity too in the process?

Emma:

For anyone to sustain a claim against your account they would need to know your private keys. If anyone knows your private keys, you are most probably not anonymous.
