PS: The phone validation would solve lots of problems with spammers in this forum. Just saying.
That would do little against spammers who can easily avail themselves of bulk numbers for SMS; but it would instantly evict
me from the forum.
Mandatory phone validation!? It is reprehensible even to suggest that on a forum where many legitimate users,
including Satoshi Nakamoto, exclusively connect(ed) through anonymity networks.
Fortunately, this has absolutely zero chance of ever happening here; and its a waste of everybodys time for you to even mention it.
Staking Bitcoin address? Well, sorry that I don't have a permanent one. All my Bitcoin addresses are given to me by exchange sites so there would be no point.
If you dont control your own private keys, then you are not using Bitcoin. Forgive me if I am underwhelmed by your opinions about the Bitcoin Forum.
Well, for starters, I don't care if it's mandatory or not. Which is why I added it as a PS, an afterthought if you will, that the moderators should consider it. I would like the phone number validation to be an option, though. Most people have a phone.
I'm not sure a discussion over whether I am using Bitcoin or not is worth having with a person who doesn't have a phone.
