waves online client does not have 2fa. is it safe to be like that? have you heard if 2fa will be added?
2FA won't add much safety to coin wallets. That's why you don't see wallets with 2FA that often.
Why?
Either if you run the client in the browser or locally, all the code is running on your computer. It's not a "web" or "cloud" based service like an exchange, where an attacker from any country could try to hack your account.
Waves having a decentralized exchange in the wallet doesn't change that.
If someone has your seed (pass phrase), they could use it on another PC to steel your coins without 2FA to stop them, so in that case, 2FA won't add security.
2FA will only help in one scenario: when your single PC is compromised / accessible by someone else.
And sorry to ask - waves is not stackable?
If you meen, PoS, it has LPoS (Lease Proof of Stake).
You can lease your coins to nodes and receive small rewards (fees and soon also MRT, miner reward tokens).
During a lease, your coins don't leave your wallet. It's 100% safe and can be canceled at any time.
Leased Waves can not be moved or traded, you need to cancel the lease first.
A list of pools can be found here:
http://dev.pywaves.org/generators-weeklyPlease lease to a small or medium sized pool for decentralization. In rewards, a larger pool doesn't pay more than a medium sized pool.
I think you are wrong/very wrong about 2FA (or my question was confusing).
If I have local wallet I encrypt it and it is relatively safe even if wallet will go to hacker. I will check, could be that desctop wallet of Waves have encryption, but I speak about online wallet now.
When you use online wallet, many people will have address and password in browser and if pc will be hacked, most probably hacker will be able to go to online wallet. WAVES do nto ask 2FA, so funds and seed will be stolen. And yes, waves are not so simple like some altcoin - hacker may get access not only to coins but also to other funds in Waves wallet. Also, lack of 2FA will lead to many pishing sites, where newbies will enter passwords and hacker will get real wallet.
If you are related to Waves devs, I kindly ask to think one more time about this.
Thanks for answer about staking. looks simple (I read
http://wavespool.net/how-to-lease.html). If you can say what is profitablity I will be thankfull. Also - is it profitable to lease some i.e. 500 Waves or amounts must vbe bigger? If it is hard question, I will try to speak with pools in their telegrams. Thanks!

would say PoS in title is mentioned kinda misleading
