The launch of the #Worldcoin #crypto caught #Vitalik’s eye (no pun intended) who wrote an in-depth article about the pros and cons of this #ProofOfPersonhood protocol. For many reasons, I’m not a fan of Worldcoin but I think that Proof-of-Personhood protocols have the potential to be a tool that can bring profound and positive societal changes for the #plebs. That said there are a few characteristics these protocols should fulfill to not turn into enablers of dystopian systems. One of them is to allow individuals to ditch their #DigitalID for new ones (although they must be prevented from maintaining several valid IDs). Also, newly generated IDs must not be linkable to previous generated IDs. #Idena is one PoP #blockchain that seems to meet these criteria. Those would allow for private, transparent and fair governance systems (not too far off the #Bitcoin ethos) that are powerful enough to compete against technocratically-driven organizations. https://vitalik.eth.limo/general/2023/07/24/biometric.html
