Make Cryptogame Portfolio Statistics Private or Toggleable - Lrrr - Nov 30, 2021

This will be a short post. The and flavoral pointed out to me that you can use the following url to view the portfolio statistics of any player.

Code
https://hackforums.net/cryptogame.php?action=portfolio&uid=

I think this ability should at least be controlled with a "who can view your portfolio statistics" option in user cp.

I think its kinda like cheating or advantage if I can see everyone's stats and portfolio values.

I don't agree that it's cheating, but it's certainly a privacy concern.

edit: I support this.

But in real life you would only know my portfolio if you knew all my wallet addresses.

It's not cheating, you're right.. But people can change the way they play and potentially get am advantage if they figure out who's got the top portfolios

You're implying that humans can see the future.

If you copy someone else's portfolio, sure, you'll lose/gain what they do too.

But that is not because they have some type of secret strategy.

I can watch how Senators and important public figures trade stock.

I cannot do the same with "the little guy"

that's all i'm getting at.

Next you'll be asking for bytes history to be hidden.

Not a bad suggestion

Lrrr you aren't making any investments that are worth following. You'll be fine.

When Bytes history is public, it is easier for any member to report exploiters.
