2FA burn in hell.
Just because you're not willing to gather all available information, you're mad. Seriously?
One could argue, that the service cost could be presented at an earlier stage, but It's all available when you're not deliberately blind.
Here are the main steps (some unimportant for 2FA may be missing) for anyone who hasn't seen it with the current version of Electrum 4.6.2 on Linux.
You decide to create a 2FA wallet here:
In the first Disclaimer there's a first mention that the service isn't for free:
After generation of mnemonic recovery words and verification you can reproduce those, TrustedCoin presents you a more detailed
Terms and conditions which I quote below the screenshots for completeness. You shouldn't skip to read those, although the price isn't mentioned there.
After scanning QR code with your TOTP Authenticator (Google or similar ones like 2FAS) and verification your smartphone generates the correct code...
This is how Wallet Information looks like (Master Public Key and BIP32 root fingerprint have been blurred):
After setup when you click on the TrustedCoin icon in the bottom right corner, you see the fee per tx AND that you pay in batches, the latter for those who can read and understand the subtle semantics that you pay for 20 or 100 transactions in advance "prepaid" of course:
This is the address shown in the TrustedCoin Information:
https://api.trustedcoin.com/#/electrum-helpHere you see clearly the price to pay and how all works. One should definitely take a closer look here. It's funny how people seem to ignore terms and conditions and complain or act mad only after stumbling over their own ignorance.
BTW, you can close the thread yourself. Why burden a moderator with such a task.
Electrum Two-Factor Authentication Terms and Conditions of Use
1. Terms
By accessing this service, you are agreeing to be bound by these Terms and Conditions of Use, all applicable laws and regulations, and agree that you are responsible for compliance with any applicable local laws. If you do not agree with any of these terms, you are prohibited from using service.
2. TrustedCoin's service
TrustedCoin does not send or receive money. We cosign bitcoin transactions, and transmit them to the bitcoin network. By using TrustedCoin, you can inform the bitcoin network that you are transferring bitcoin previously associated with your bitcoin account to another bitcoin account. TrustedCoin cannot be used to cancel or reverse bitcoin-to-bitcoin transactions, as long as said transactions are accepted and confirmed on the bitcoin network.
TrustedCoin requires multiple private cryptographic keys to be associated with each bitcoin account. TrustedCoin controls only one of these private keys, and cannot initiate a bitcoin transaction unless you authorize the request by signing the transaction with one of your private cryptographic keys.
It is your responsibility to secure your private keys. If you lose all the private keys associated with your account, neither you nor TrustedCoin will be able to access your funds.
You must be at least 18 years old, or such age required by applicable law, to register for a TrustedCoin account.
3. Integration with 3rd-Party Wallets
For customers of our two-factor authentication integration with 3rd-party wallets, you should be aware of some limitations:
1) If we see too many unsuccessful passcode entries in a row, we may suspend your account for 24 hours. We offer no way to reenable the account, short of waiting out the suspended state.
2) If you forget your one-time password generator, we offer no way to recreate it. You will need to use your second key to move your funds to a new address.
