User phone number verification #105

Open KarimChabrak opened 5 years ago

KarimChabrak commented 5 years ago

As space admin, fake user could allocate coins to projects without beeing real persons, leading to decisions which are not representatives and also to fraud.

I would like to increase the probability that user are real without extensive verification process. One of the solutions is when user join my space, they have to set their phone number and confirm this with a code they receive.

We propose that any user can join the platform without verification.

But spaces, like Coinsence Community Coin can set that only verified user can join. In case a user did not yet make the verification, when trying to join the space, he will be asked to go through the verification process.

Mainly, the process will be ask user for his phone number, the user will get the an sms with a code which he has to type. User will be added to a group called "Verified via SMS". The phone number will be only visible for system admin.
