> 2FA by phone and confirmation emails both increase account risk. Hackers, email providers, ISPs, and not-nice-governments like North Korea are constantly trying to get into peoples phones and emails.
Exactly. This can't be emphasized enough.
The entire CB/Bts platform is about freedom. Please, PLEASE leave everything as is and halt any 2FA dev. There are other places to trade, if you desire 2FA.
Well, 2FA doesn't have to be done that way. Certainly, 2FA via SMS is not secure at all, nor is 2FA via email. However, 2FA could be done in a similar manner to Google Authenticator, and the independent gateways could do it when they come online (slated for around May this year IIRC).
