Automatic MM Service

[Tommy W]

Would anyone use an automatic MM service?

So what would happen is this:

The seller generates an MM session, they then enter the account credentials and account email, the credentials will then be checked, and if they are legit, the process will continue, else, it will tell them that the credentials are invalid and end the session.

The buyer then enters the session code, they then get into a dashboard which both of them can access, it will show the account name, etc.

The buyer then clicks "pay" and it will generate a BTC address for the buyer to send to, once done, the system will automatically start securing the account.

The securing process goes like this:
#1 - Generates an email with a secure password on our email server
#2 - Changes the account email to the new email
#3 - Confirms the email change on the old email, if it is on cooldown, it changes the old emails password.
#4 - Changes the account password to a randomly generated one
#5 - If it was successfully changed to the new email, it then tries to delete the old one.

At last, it tells the buyer the username and password to the new email (or old email if the email change was on cooldown) and the account, and ends the session.

Would anyone here use this service?
If not, why?

one you cant really check accounts without getting a chance to lock them. Two most people dont want/have BTC

I like the idea but i dont see it working out like this.

This is a super neat concept!

It's pretty dangerous with PayPal, so I'm going to avoid using that.

I also doubt that it will be locked, if in testing phases it sometimes happens, I'll try and implement a system where it checks the account via the user's IP.

There are a lot of checks the bot would have to make as for the Minecraft accounts there are a lot of things to look out for e.g og info, dispute link(changeable email) etc.

Other than that it's a really cool concept, but I doubt people would use it regardless because it's much safer to just mm manually. I myself as an mm wouldn't use it, to avoid issues (bot messing up) and a mm process takes 10mins tops.

EDIT:
the bot would have to secure accounts too cause the seller of the account could change details after providing them to the bot. Securing an account requires human verification most of the time also.

Wouldn't work, don't waste your time trying to make it.

About securing, it says this on the thread:

The buyer then clicks "pay" and it will generate a BTC address for the buyer to send to, once done, the system will automatically start securing the account.

The securing process goes like this:
#1 - Generates an email with a secure password on our email server
#2 - Changes the account email to the new email
#3 - Confirms the email change on the old email, if it is on cooldown, it changes the old emails password.
#4 - Changes the account password to a randomly generated one
#5 - If it was successfully changed to the new email, it then tries to delete the old one.

#1 - Mojang has blacklisted entire mail domains in the past for being associated with account selling, which means that you'd run the risk of losing users accounts. Chearful can vouch for this.

#3 - It's not that easy, there's tons of different email providers that you'd have to have different code for, and pretty much all of them have some form of protection against automation to prevent blackhat activity, so it wouldn't work anyway.

There's also the 2FA that you wouldn't be able to get through. For some emails, e.g. Gmail, even if 2FA is removed prior, it still asks for 2FA for a while after for security reasons.

You also don't need to confirm the email change on the old emails anymore. It's all done from the new emails, but a dispute link is sent back to the old email which can be used to pull the account back at any time.

#5 - Assuming you were somehow able to gain access to the email properly and delete it, many email providers give you the option to recover the email account for a while after, for security reasons.

There's also many other issues, such as having the same static ip log into many different accounts, and if you used basic proxies to bypass this, they'd still most likely be detected as being suspicious, putting the users account at risk.

If this were possible for minecraft accounts, I would've done it a long time ago.

Had a similar sort of concept in mind before, but I can't ever see something like this being successful.

I agree with Zyger on this one, it's going to be insanely hard to implement a system that does all this without the possibility of the account being locked.

Good concept, execution definitely requires some more research done on it.
