I have now created an administrative queue for the Contingency Market to process new registrations (among other things). Thus, new registrants will be e-mailed a URL key which can be used to confirm their e-mail address.
The ironic thing is that this sort of thing should be supportable by the Contingency Market itself (by defining a system event of new registrant, and the ability for contingencies to do more than transact funds, e.g. process custom code), however, I considered I’d do an ad hoc queue first and make the market more sophisticated another day.
So, if you were to register as a new user on 1p2u.com you’d now get an e-mail asking you to confirm your e-mail address (well, when I let the queue run from time to time).
