I don't think that's going to be the least of their concerns or worries as I noticed that most users who got their accounts teleported from BTT to ALTT end up using the very same email they used to sign up to this site as well. Which means that regardless if they used the same password or not. A hacker determined to really get a hold of some BTT user's details will be able to use their email as an access pass without real issue.

Unless those users that you mentioned haven't hidden their email addresses in their Bitcointalk settings page, you can't possibly know that they have used the same email account on this forum and Altcoinstalk. I am guessing that 7/10 Bitcointalk users have hidden their email addresses from the public. I could be wrong, though. And hacking an email just because you want to isn't that easy if the user has a strong password + the all important 2FA, which can be set up on email accounts as well.

Now I only understand the importance of 2FA after hearing your explanation that the problem of password leaks can be solved with 2FA. Initially I ignored this feature because I still felt I didn't need this feature. But you are right that with 2FA our account security becomes thicker or more layered.

2FA can prevent a 3rd-party from gaining access to your account by entering your username and password. It's important to point out that it can't prevent data leaks. It can't prevent that the forum gets hacked and user data lands in the wrong hands. It only prevents unauthorized access if the second factor is active.

I will likely look to start posting there myself.

I am getting older and mining has been a grind for me.

I had a really good deal with an un named mixer.

It ended and I had to refund four months of prepaid btc. Well over 4,000 dollars.

I will continue posting here but likely less than I have.

I had planned to end mining and use the mixer signature to help with the transition.

Why go there only for the sake of advertising for mixers, which is no longer allowed on Bitcointalk, when you can join a different kind of signature campaign here? I don't see you as someone who is going to have difficulties finding someone willing to pay for your signature space.

Well if you know me you know most of the time I never used a signature. Been here 11 going on 12 years. Maybe did 3 or 4 years of signatures and 7 or 8 without.

I was prepaid for 6 months and had done 1 month with the unnamed mixer. They had to end and asked for 4 months refund. I thought if they are on altcoinstalk I would contact them and do an ad specifically for them.

If I were younger and still planned to mine I would not need the signature money.

I likely will end up doing a set of two signatures one here with a non mixer and one with a mixer on alt coin. they likely will be less than the 6 month deal I had. but maybe close enough to end mining. I am older my 67th birthday is in 4 days and mining only gets harder to do with age.
