Here's my wishlist, not sure if there is a market for it: - Twitter w/out fake accounts. - a marketplace that uses Facebook as a vehicle for engagement/promotion but which operates independently. - Secure SMS for 2FA tokens - Android w/out Play Services - Schema-based email - Stripe for the rest of the World

For me, I desperately need "Stripe for the rest of the World".

  Is Stripe Atlas not an option where you are based?
  - pmtarantino 10y ago
    Sometimes you need Stripe for a side project or stuff like that. Atlas is focused in large corporations and, besides, you have to pay to be incorporated.

  There is bitcoin.

    The high volatility and past problems with exchanges make it basically unusable for anyone without deeper knowledge in the field. Also, it'll take a few seconds to pay via credit card, whereas converting the money on your account to bitcoins in the sellers account can easily take several hours.

Anything 2FA related to cell phone networks needs to die. You are relying on the security of the cell carrier, which is not a safe bet.

  Yep, but it's still better than not using a second factor at all. It all heavily depends on your threat model. I don't think Yubikeys scale to the general population, carrying around something on your keyring is a hard sell for many. (But if you've got your PGP private keys on it, too, etc, it's a fantastic tool/toy for nerds!)

- Android w/out Play Services This is easy, I've done this for years. Install LineageOS without Google Apps, use F-Droid.
