It's totally acceptable to a lot of people. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if adding email registration reduced the conversion rate.

This adventofcode is a gem, you are really missing out if you let the registration system deter you.

Email registration is the same thing. There's no reason that anyone should be forced to connect an account from another site to this one. However, at least with email addresses, it's trivial to use a temporary one.

It's also trivial to get a throwaway reddit account.
