Certainly not easy! But, requiring periodic small group meetups, such that the groups have to have certain types of overlap, might kinda work?
Sort of forming a web of trust, but with negative incentives against signing for anyone trying to double vote?
Or maybe it is impossible.
It seems there would be a problem if the web of trust was fragmented, because for anyone not in a particular region of the wot, they would be unable to tell if it was a real wot, or only a fake one.
So any voting that occurred would have to only apply within a contiguous wot, and anyone in a different region would have to not have that vote count for them.
So, in a limited form like that, it could maybe be possible, but I don't know what it would be worth, because I don't know what sorts of things would be worth voting on, if the result of the vote can only apply to the identities used in the vote, because anyone could make another identity not part of the wot if they did not like the vote outcome. And a number of other similar problems.
