You're sending the raw password over the wire to your server, good job. Also, this isn't going to work for people behind proxies.

I don't really know what you're referring to. What part exactly?

You're sending the password raw to the server, anyone intercepting it (or you) can see the password. That's generally considered a bad thing.
Also, it doesn't seem to obey the system's proxy settings, so people who are behind mandatory proxies can't play this game.

I can fix it with an SSL connection later to secure things a bit more. As for the proxy things, I'd really appreciate it if you would be willing to explain this to me as I'm not too familiar with them. I'm pretty sure it has to do with me being in the US and you in Europe, though.

Not what I'm talking about. You should hash it from the client side too.

Basically, a HTTP server that relays the request to the real server. Some networks only allow you to connect to the internet through a proxy, while Quackventures seems to ignore the system settings completely (and doesn't even offer it's own UI for this).
