MoneyThing Ed, Saving Stream appear to have solved their SM bot problem this morning by adding Google's reCAPTCHA system to their SM purchase confirmation process. Might be worth Shuang having it up his sleeve for the Moneything SM too, if / when bots become a problem over here too.

Funnily enough, Shuang has coded this in already (Google's recaptcha), so that it can be switched on if needed. Kind regards, Ed.

I have not checked if you have already but if not I suggest that you also ban bots in your T&Cs.

I have not checked if you have already but if not I suggest that you also ban bots in your T&Cs. Acknowledged, thank you. We currently have the following wording, however we can perhaps look at expanding it later if it becomes a problem: "9.6. You will not attempt to gain unauthorised access to the secure areas of the Website or Platform and furthermore you will not attempt to use code or software to manipulate or automate functions available on our website."Kind regards, Ed

think that pretty much covers it at the moment I doubt there is enough activity on the secondary market to make it worth wile but in future might be

The Money Thing website about section says Sean, I'm sure it used to say Shuang. Afternoon, It is actually 'Shuang', however he also uses Sean interchangeably to make it easier for people to pronounce & spell it. Regards, Ed

Having some useful stats on the website like total exposure would be very nice. Definitely a step towards "best improvement award of 2016" ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) Maintaining spreadsheets that some people do is not a way to go because people: a) don't know the technology b) don't have time: work, kids, other commitments Although I'm not in any of above category I still don't do it because it would take me ages to monitor my multiple accounts on 7 platforms and hundreds of loans (some for 20-25). I dream of the "investor area" on any platform where investor could see useful stats like: interests earned per month/year, allocations, average returns, defaults ect. It would not have to be "live", could be running on different database that is dumped each night so it does not interfere with the live/loans site.

MoneyThing, morning Ed. Would it be possible to have a report that details future expected cash flows (capital plus interest) by month? This would be useful for people looking to load more funds on the platform but not have shrapnel lying around and help prevent ending up with odd lots in some loans.

This would be useful for people looking to load more funds on the platform but not have shrapnel lying around and help prevent ending up with odd lots in some loans. Morning, Happy to look into this. The only immediate problem I see is that this forecasting would have to assume that all loans go to full term, when actually many will redeem/repay early. Will add to this list to discuss. Kind regards, Ed
