I know that many will not like it, but there are many people that hate to write down text to make registrations Tongue

So I think that it will be useful that users (who want to use it at least) will be able to register and login with just few clicks with their social accounts (facebook/twitter/google plus/others)

I totally agree and support the idea fully ! I personally would like to login here using my Google+ account . much faster & smoother
the developpers should really consider adding this nice feature . pretty sure that google have API's everywhere and shouldn't be that hard .

the whole idea of Bitcoin/crypto is anonymity (to a certain level)

What makes you think so?

Not direct integration to them, but the ability to use and link OpenIDs would be nice.

Perhaps you should flesh this idea out a bit more, it sounds interesting!

It should be a free choice as always. (I will not use it)

i think no one will use this if they are a part of community, only new comers will use this to join the forum because of the ease of use and they don't know what bitcoin is, its is a currency with decentralization and anonymity

That is very important. If that happens bitcointalk.org might diminish which nobody wants. Maybe we should educate newbies before they sign up like redirect then to a page before going to the sign up form.

Yep, some text about privacy above the registration/login is good idea

bitcoin and crypto is popular because of privacy and if you will allow to join through social networks the in short you will be giving them information about account that who is real owners of bitcointalk accounts
it will make agencies work easy as they will get users data easily from those networks
i think we already know that they are a part of "PRISM"

While I hate signing up for each and every forum again by doing those pesky typing stuff. I dont think social media logins would be used, with multi accounting alloed, many people maintaining alts and stuff.

True, but I cannot see many people other than newbs signing up this way and they will very likely regret it later. Say something someone doesn't like and all your personal info will be splashed across the net which makes this much easier to do. Most people like their privacy here for many reasons and this being one of them.

That is very important. If that happens bitcointalk.org might diminish which nobody wants. Maybe we should educate newbies before they sign up like redirect then to a page before going to the sign up form.

Many of them will click the verify button ASAP. Anyway, I think fetching email and a username isn't a big problem.

The user should be able to set his own nickname as now.
Social network will only be used as possibility to login and register to the forum, to avoid entering password/email ...

Good intentions, but the whole idea of Bitcoin/crypto is anonymity (to a certain level), is it not? Revealing social identities defeats that entirely.

I really cannot see many people using this nor do I think it would be a good idea for them to do so.
