One complaint is that it requires a Google account to sign up. It does make sense why this is a feature, but it's still kind of annoying.

- akrolsmir 5y agoThanks for the feedback! A Google account makes the sign in flow a little bit simpler, and lets us to find a reasonable avatar to attach to each user. But Twitter or email auth are things we're interested in supporting (just want to balance those against it being easy to create sockpuppet accounts)
- xelxebar 5y agoAs someone who just learned about predicition markets through ACX, I'm pretty pumped about them! Personally, I do not have a Google account, so was really disappointed to be excluded. Really hope you guys figure something out! Will be keeping an eye on this.
- akrolsmir 5y agoThanks for the data point. Happy to hear that ACX is teaching people about prediction markets! We'll definitely look to supporting other auth methods; and until then, you don't need to sign in to view any of our hundreds of markets!

- rmbyrro 5y agoIf they don't have one in 2022 it doesn't look like they'll do it for you. Would advise to not take it personally (at least not about you, it's probably personal about Google)
- sundarurfriend 5y agoI don't think this person has anything to do with the prediction website, just a drive-by commenter.
- only4here 5y agoI think having a plain email signup/login would be best, especially since a lot of people are moving away from Google and going to alternatives.
