google auth  is better and safer than SMS, and keeps your privacy , so SMS only should be available as another type of 2nd factor auth. not a mandatory one.


Edit: I've seen you have removed phone number from sign up form. Nice

Thanks for your reply ..

I personally think that a multi coin / multi sig / brain wallet with both
hot and cold storage solutions needs to be developed
to facilitate widespread public acceptance/usage of crypto currency ..

There was no internet ( as we've come to know it )
before Marc Andreessen's Mosaic/Netscape Navigator browser in the mid 1990's
The browser was the disruptive technological development that led to explosive internet growth

The key to future crypto currency growth is the wallet ..
It's got to be 'elegant' and idiot proof for widespread adoption ..
The simpler the wallet/user interface the better ..
  

Triff ..

new user raisig this? no thanx!

all that is needed is services or even simple code to make a signed TX.. then the only thing that is needed to do online is PUSHTX

EG

if i input a privkey(from my paper wallet), a destination public key, and an amount to send. the opensource javascript (no server side processing) forms the TX and then puts it into a textbox or variable. which then can be sent to multiple relays such as blockchain.info and mining pool nodes

that way people dont need to have accounts and pre-deposited funds in third parties. they dont need usernames or passwords. all they need is their privkey, and 2 destination addresses (1 for recipient, 1 for change address)
