Bad news for art drops..., by Arty Farty 15 on Feb 2, 2019 9:57:54 GMT 1, Interesting legislation that has been passed by the EU (and now written into UK law) that from September 2019, all online purchases will require text message verification in order to proceed.
This will create issues for people in areas with low signal, but I’m wondering how this will impact online art purchases?
Given this game is usually ‘fastest finger first’, does this really put us at a disadvantage to our state side counterparts, as any item is likely to have sold out by the time we get the verification text and have to enter this when at check out...

And with PayPal you've already authorised so wouldn't expect anymore layers of security would be needed. But if that isn't the case then yes we'd be in the shit so to speak.

Bad news for art drops..., by Pipes on Feb 2, 2019 13:07:50 GMT 1, I’ve seen this on some sites already - for example Nike do it when they have a popular release (i’m not a sneaker head)
Probably a good thing to mitigate against bots.

Would be bad for everyone in another part of the world, but at the same time it would require some manual interaction. At least until they figure out how to bypass the system, or integrate the bots some how, and then the bots will have an even bigger advantage. |

Again - using Nike as an example - after passing the text message part it’s a lottery. So the release is open for longer than the number of stock.
But yes - for any tech introduced - someone will write some tech to get around it !

If theres a lottery, then the text message-part is mainly a way of making sure you can't sign up with multiple bot-generated emails, which is really good! |

Even if the selling website need to send their own text, the item should be set to 'carted for at least 2 mins to allow the customer to complete before the item is put back up for grabs.
One thing though from a tech perspective this will cause chaos and additional cost. Worldwide mobile phone number validation is painful to standardise and manage.
Small publishers will all probably find an out if the box SaaS and pay a month fee for the pleasure

We can see it as breaking bots/automatons but actually it doesn’t. If you’re a developer, you know it. Catching a text message is easy.
So my point of view is that it’s not going to change the “race-to-buy” game but help identifying credit card stealer, etc.
