I'd have to agree, that until there are lockdowns, I don't mind having
to do a double confirmation. Not all "gaining" registrars are as good
as OpenSRS, and I wouldn't want to have to deal with fake attempts to
transfer any of my domains or those of clients, who own a valuable
asset and want to keep things at OpenSRS.
When OpenSRS gets 40 or 50% market share, which I think could happen,
the double confirmation will work to its financial benefit, too, as it
won't have to deal with as many fake transfers out of OpenSRS (right
now OpenSRS is gaining more domains than it is losing, so it's
understandable to want to make it easier to gain; but, in the "end
game", the opposite will be true).
Sincerely,
George Kirikos
