First, there's no Web3 project so far that has been able to build a plugin that will enable direct connection to a Bitcoin wallet (Not multi-wallets). So that could not be possible unless something changed in the future.

Another thing is that I don't think this will ever be taken into consideration for security reasons; the admin won't want to be held responsible for anyone's assets being lost. When you are using a Web 3 connection for your account and wallet, you are entrusting that 3rd party with your funds security. If it happens that you have security leakage from someone else, this won't be an exemption for you to raise your suspicions.

So for the safety of Bitcointalk, it's actually a bad idea. For the forum to maintain its name, such a thing should even be avoided. Let the admin have fewer things to worry about.

No, look at the looks of this forum, even the latest website technology even before the introduction web3 isn't implemented yet, how much more for a feature like that.
Maybe in the future there's a chance since web3 and this forum is about bitcoin/crypto and blockchain.

Hi nwanda. I'm glad you commented on my thread. Maybe you're right, security is the top priority in this forum. And using web3 is still too vulnerable for now. I don't know in the future


I don't really need to login using the web3 system. This is just a question that popped into my mind. But sometimes I think, bitcoin is an advanced technological breakthrough for the future, why are bitcoin forums still running conventionally? of course the admin of this site is very thorough with security, so it's very strict in this forum.


hi tranthidung
I'm glad to see you again. I think you're right, and as usual you have lots of useful links

Similar topic here. Honestly, I'd love to have alternative login system like this, in addition to the current one, so people can choose as per their preference. But, I'm not sure if there are Bitcoin web3 wallets like metamask.

This forum doesn't have an interactive business plan where you've to authorize your wallet, in conclusion your proposal isn't needed. But really, it requires high financial responsibility regardless of security, and fyi so far mods haven't been too enthusiastic about dealing with cases of user loss.
After all, this forum is oriented towards community discussion, and that should remain a hallmark.

No, just no!

I had to search what this hype means:
It sounds a lot like the crazy ICO hype, where all of a sudden some made-up token was going to disrupt every real industry. None of that happened, but it made some people very rich. And that was exactly the way it was designed.

It gets better:
That's rich, coming from a centrally controlled premined shitcoin that sold out on it's Unique Selling Point the moment it benefited the creator and his rich friends.

Reminder: "Anything that can be done without a blockchain, should be done without a blockchain."

This wouldn't be a way to protect account, it would just allow user to login with wallet.


I don't know truth of your statements but I try to imagine crypto ecosystem without ethereum and it appears really dull.


I presume you don't use ethereum dapps otherwise you would understand how cumbersome it would be to login with web2 login system in those.


Wow! Bitcointalk is really filled with Bitcoin maxis.



I find creating wallet convenient, and it doesn't require any information to create one. Please don't blast saving of mnemonic and similar is hard thing to do.


Why would you not like it being automated? Although, I also think it's unnecessary for bitcointalk but still.

Yes, Bitcoin is an advanced technological breakthrough for the future of digital currency and financial systems, it has nothing to do with logging into online forums and websites. Seriously, why would you want to link your wallet to your online forum profile? It just opens up a can of worms, exposing you to all sorts of risks. You don't want your financial assets out in the open for everyone to see, right? Plus, there are always potential threats such as hacking or phishing attacks.

Admittedly I don't know much about web3, as I'm perpetually late to the party when it comes to new tech and becoming familiar with it, but if we're talking about something as simple as logging onto a discussion forum....why complicate it?  It seems to me that even if there weren't security issues (and I'm just assuming there are based on what I'm reading), implementing a login function based on a link to a wallet would pose some privacy issues at the very least.  And yeah, those could be avoided by people who know what they're doing, but again why take a simple procedure and introduce problems and complexity to it when it isn't needed?

Frankly I don't think bitcointalk as a website is ever going to grow out of its 2009 roots, either in appearance or in functionality.  But me?  I like it that way.  Then again, 2009 seems like it was yesterday; to younger members I'm sure everything here seems like a throwback to another era, one in which they either weren't born in or were very young. 

On the other hand, one thing I've learned in life is that nothing stays the same forever.  Our beloved bitcointalk is bound to change sooner or later, web3 or no web3.

Actually it's matter of preferences. I find entering email address (which i already create and remember) faster and easier. In addition, you don't have to remember your password if you use online password manager.


I doubt it can be automated when escrow need to verify buyer receive goods on expected condition. And in first place, many people would raise skepticism since many Web3 turned out to be either centralized or has questionable security.
