RE: Working Group Election Process | Important Town Hall Election Information
how is an AUTH code by SMS prohibitive?
it is one thing the majority of the world would have access to especially if they are using the internet already
also discord provides this service
the problem with steemit inc signup was there was only a handful of people doing and there was little demand anyways since the majority of accounts were made in 2 months when bitcoin was over $10k with most being inactive
without an efficient means to show individual users it would be as well to have no vote and just declare the ones with the most accounts
Well I'm just citing a fair amount of complaints on Reddit about it and also people generally unwilling to do phone verification. Besides, it didn't stop faucet accounts either if you recall.
maybe for a standard non income based mainstream site users might have a problem but for a site that is based on creating value and having an economy every step should be taken to ensure quality is maintained rewards are managed and to prevent exploitation.
i suspect the purpose for a good amount of accounts created by steemit inc was to farm rewards also to inflate user numbers
but that isn't much different than those in the top 20 witness with over thousand accounts used to farm the rewards.
