If I'm understanding this correctly, it's very closely tied to Google services, which makes it unusable for me because I don't have a Google Account.

Are there any plans to add support for non-Google email addresses?

Otherwise you may consider renaming to "GmailBTC"

Will definitely prioritize this. The protocol supports adding any oauth provider and someone already forked the smart contract and added lastlogin https://github.com/elliotBraem/lastlogin-chain-signatures so this should bubble up to the application level soon! What email services would you like to see added?
