trying to solve an important and hard problem. not solving it well, and concerned about that last part.
Btw asking since there's a quite big Polish diaspora in their team and my friend thinks about applying
I mean at this point I’m down for almost any ambitious UBI attempt I’m generally a privacy nihilist so bio verification makes more sense to me than to most people in web3 I’d just like our world scale projects to be a little less concentrated in the same 5 dudes though…
I have no philosophical opinion but I think it would be a great place to work alongside some very talented people trying to do something big. Likely a place where you meet collaborators who you work with again in the future.
admire the ambition, but the eyeball scanning is a bit off-putting would still sign up tho
I think that sybil resistance is much deeper in groups, biometrics are not as effective (they're seizable & MITM). network-of-trust sybil resistance like gitcoin passport is wicked composable and can apply to permissionless extensions of the original network. I would never trust any dapp that mandates one ID provider.
@macbudkowski I'll send you my 👁️ scan if you mint one for me… Are you rubbing in the fact that you're not based in 🇺🇸 now !?!
IMO a dangerous digital participation tattoo with a distasteful sign up incentive. https://worldcoin.pactsafe.io/rkuawsvk5.html "If you decide to sign-up with an Orb we will create a unique Iris Code (as defined below) that cannot be deleted anymore (if we were to delete it, the proof of uniqueness would not work )."
I don’t like things that incentivize people to steal my organs
Red flags for me - Onboarding millions of people without the core technology in place - Onboarding efforts largely focused in poor/developing regions - Insider allocation for their UBI token - Tone deaf orb design Interesting idea, bad execution imo
Until they open source their hardware, it's a non-starter for me. You can use all the zk proofs in the world, but if the enclave you're using to generate them is proprietary, the entire system is potentially compromised.
So even with open source hardware I still need to trust the individual orb in front of me. How do I know there’s no iris “skimmer” in front of it? I don’t love the idea of an authentication method I can’t reset the password to in case of compromise.
Dangerously idealistic in its current form https://twitter.com/blockbeatsasia/status/1659060950748782594?s=46&t=_iHbVl66W9uPlTGNWdeYLg
Love the mission, and the team seems awesome, but the implementation feels straight out of minority report.
what I think doesn’t matter. it is what the market will think and do matters. but will I scan my iris unless Canadian gov adopts it? Fuck to the hell no
Incredibly dystopian. Completely disregards the inaccessible nature of digital currency, especially in a world with massive recent increases in homelessness. I would sooner sell my soul to the devil than use worldcoin
