Registering based on unique email address and IP can easily be manipulated, but requiring a unique mobile/cell number makes it more difficult to create multiple accounts. Sure scammers could buy a whole lot of $2 prepaid sims, but it makes it more costly to maintain these accounts. Also people might be less inclined to sell their account if it is tied to their mobile/cell number. 2FA via SMS might be problematic when the forum user base is spread over dozens of different countries. I remember it took me 2 hours before I got a msg with a code on my European SIM card to access my gmail account when I was in India and I heard in some countries it's worse. GA works well on bitcoin and non-bitcoin websites, Theymos knows people are interested in it and I hope he will decide to implement it. |
