> 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).

Admins /Developers: Please refrain from adding 2FA, of any kind. Keep OUT all phone companies, corp oligarchs, and g o v s. Posters on this topic are more than welcome to trade at the dozens of exchanges that strictly enforce this unnecessary hurdle.

BTS Cryptro Bridge platform represents an important alternative. Independent gateways should remain independent and not give in to pressure from "someone somewhere" and NOT require any such private info for transactions to occure. The entire system runs fine as is. Dev / admins please, if possible, provide a subtle response, clue, hint, show of support that this won't happen,and that you are for "de-centralization" related to current system in place. The awakening Chinese, young Russian and Central Europeans seem to understand this more than the apathetic West.

I agree, any sort of centralised 2FA wouldn't be worth it. But surely 2FA via federated network of gateways, requiring multi-sig approval, would be a good thing to do?
