This is a great idea. However, there is absolutely zero chance I'm going to use it. There's no way I'm letting your application do the following: "read, send delete and manage your email", "view your email messages and settings", "view and modify, but not delete your email", "manage drafts and send emails", "manage your contacts", "manage your calendars".

@macgregordennis Awesome, sorry if I sounded a bit harsh, but it's definitely a really alarming set of permissions that the application is requesting. As soon as that is addressed, I'll definitely give the application a go :)

@dave_cooper I agree. Love the idea, but hesitate for the same reason. Also, more information on the landing would be good. For example how do you identify "unsolicited" email?
@dave_cooper When we created Bit-Bounce, it was supposed to stop email spamming rather then create more... I was there for the first launch of the product. The application ended up trying to sign in to my cex.io account. It then tried to take over the account via many reasons... It then Spammed all my contacts in my mailing list... After that. it started stealing all my data in google docs etc etc etc. Please be careful. @Stewart_Dennis. You should just change the name back To Bit-SPAMMER or whatever name you came up with in the beginning. lol.... jk jk The Ai Aspect is pretty legit tho It just needs some work on moral code.
I actually signed up and then stopped the process at the Coinbase auth. So if I'm reading this right, you are going to pull $1 USD from my account every day? Is that correct?
@thinker@macgregordennis there is a daily deposit authentication within Coinbase. Not sure where the money is going.
I get the BTC auth deposits into your account, but why is my account sending USD?
So, I just got a surprise email that bitbounce sent from my account to hundreds of my contacts. I'm now receiving handfuls of automated mail delivery failure replies every minute or so.
Email you sent out:
I'm not sure how you managed to actually use my account - I'm going to assume that I went further with the permissions than I remember. Regardless, using my account to advertise to my contacts wholesale (a few of which were me, which seems silly) without any heads up is a total failure on your part. I'll be removing bitbounce from my authorized apps, and sincerely hope that you guys do something about this -- because it's unacceptable.
Also, I wouldn't have whitelisted half of the email addresses you reached out to with an advertisement for your platform. I don't think you should assume all contacts in a contact list should be whitelisted - many of them are there from unsolicited messages.
A shot of the permissions granted (prior to the fix you guys released):
@macgregordennis That makes sense - the issue I'm having is that I never went through onboarding. I pinned the coinbase and gmail auth request pages I hit after submitting my email and came here to ask about the permissions I saw. I never got the chance to complete authorization or sign into the service when I noticed the emails.
absolutely badass potential on this one, important people who wanna receive filtered emails and businesses who ll be forced to pay consumers to read their spammy emails
You're a fucking disaster. This morning, I just realise that my email has send out 1000+ invites to my friends to join bitbounce. I have not approve this and I hope you burn for doing this.
