I'm not going to sign up for a Google Hitler-mail account.
If you feel it is unnecessary to give us an email address to contact you on, then that's fine, but please know that any unclaimed shares will be held in limbo (not receive dividends) until they are claimed by address ownership verification. I cannot and will not allow dividends to be sent into (potential) black holes.
If Google's OpenID standard for logging in is not for you please understand that the other options (e.g. Facebook, twitter) were untenable. Given the time constraints, I will not reinvent the security wheel. Google was chosen because I know you many of you already use Google Authenticator for your security needs.
My shares will be automatically transferred back to Icedrill when BF closes, giving you the share count and payout address.
Yes, Bitfunder will send us a list when it closes, but the assumption that everything will automagically just happen is incorrect. http://www.icedrill.io is our share transfer process.
Let's be clear: [Google single sign-on] != [Google 2FA]
I can sign my payout address, which has been published on Bitfunder's asset list for weeks.
I can sign in with an open-source Google Authenticator 2FA program without having to use their demonstrably insecure Stasi-mail product.
There's absolutely no reason to characterize our Bitfunder addresses as "black holes" except to justify the burden of requiring us to use Stasi-mail.
I am not asking you to "reinvent the security wheel." I am asking you to simply use 2FA instead of requiring Google's evil NSA compromised infrastructure.
I'll send a signed PM reassuring you my address on file with Bitfunder is entirely intentional and correct, and not merely the result of some kooky mix-up with a supernova and a broken TARDIS.
What is wrong with using a google email address if you don't provide google with any important information?
