What do I think about biometric proof of personhood? https://vitalik.eth.limo/general/2023/07/24/biometric.html

BTW this chart is where I learned that Gaussian in log = parabola fact.

Third option: biological humans should be obsoleted and infrastructure should heavily incentivize upgrading with a phased EOL support.

Wonderfully informative and insightful! Imo our design thinking on this should prioritize *persistence* of proof-of-personhood. Ie: what will end up being important is not just that there’s a digital key associated with a unique human, but that this key is still controlled by this human *right now* (eg, when voting)

appreciate your thoughts. here's a few of mine: it's personally important we don't remove people from the equation (ever), some combination of methods makes sense, not all bodies are the same (does this person have an iris), a person is a process not a fixed object (has this person died)

as a single point of verification, biometric ID is unnecessary, doesn't account for all cases, expensive, and dystopian triangulated ID through multi-point probability is cheaper, accounts for more cases, better opsec, and ultimately the inevitable route

I just finished reading it. I'm glad you're still thinking about this. I have so many thoughts I need to write a blog post to respond. I'll also put the heads of my responses here in warpcast. Give me a bit of time.

Finally a reasoned take on the orb and other proofs of personhood
