RE: A new start for SteemConnect

in #steemconnect • 6 years ago

SteemConnect is very much overused for authentication IMHO. Seriously, why use SteemConnect only to allow a user to proof his/her identity when you can simply use a micro transaction for that. We should have less SteemConnect usage by Apps and more micro-transaction based authentication. So, actually, if an App could use micro transactions but user SteemConnect instead, then I don't trust it😉

    Microtransactions are not free, it would be visible on the chain (everyone would know when you login), and require your active key. I'm not sure how is that good for the users.

    It is good for the user because it does not require trusting a TTP with your keys. How is this hard to grasp?
