we aren't logging into this website by signing a message with our wallets or something.
In Meta because of bold part, what do you think?
Well, let's say a newbie wants to ask questions about bitcoin. And finds out this forum, and he cannot ask because he has to learn first to sign a message or something. Won't he just say "fuck with this"? Or maybe even "fuck with all this crypto thing"?
So no, it's not feasible to log in like that. On the other hand, as said, we do have recover account with signed message; that is a much better use case.
Actually, we can post a video on log in page to teach them how to sign a message and do all the necessary stuff but the problem is that bitcointalk isn't on that level to radically change the log in method. This forum is probably slowly dying and you are right about what you say, this process will just kill this forum even harder, why will someone newbie register here when he has to do something difficult in first case to ask a question? On another hand, here we have reddit where you can sign up with one click via Google or Apple account.
No, no, this will kill the forum!
