The thing is, Verizon's not <i>killing</i> anybody by this disaster. Upper management there probably still sees cryptocurrencies as a fad toy. I'm being pragmatic.<p>Here is an open idea that I have long wondered about. If you think this would work, you are welcome to have it and turn it into a startup (it could work as a free service, it could work on a subscription).<p>Make a duress system that allows people to open a fast-loading webpage or app, scroll down to Gmail, and hit "<i>Fight!</i>". Then they'd scroll to Coinbase and click/tap the button there too.<p>This service would then immediately log into your account repeatedly and change your password, along with your recovery email address and other information that, if changed, would make logging in a hassle (such as your security recovery questions). It does this as many times a second as possible, for I'm not sure how long.<p>My thinking is that "wat, 42 password resets in 18 seconds" is probably going to freak most well-designed services out, which will then hopefully lock your account... possibly saving it.<p>Better yet (I just realized), the app could lock your account, if the service allows it, after resetting your password.<p>--<p>The way I envisage the site/app working is that, you input your account details (your actual password) into a locked tome with a passphrase. When disaster strikes you unlock the tome, perhaps with your fingerprint. The reason for this is that service APIs might not universally provide enough access to "do good", if you will, and there's also the consideration that the site might be up but the API might be down (a bit like Verizon being closed!).<p>Also, about changing the email, gmail allows you to do things like youraddress+alias@gmail.com, so the app could simply change the email to things like youraddress+98ea6e4f216f2fb4b69fff9b3a44842c38686ca685f3f55dc48c5d3fb1107be4@gmail.com, or variants that won't freak gmail out if they have alarms on that sort of behavior.
