Then post your name and address.

  >> Then post your name and address. I almost do. You should be able to locate my real world postal address inside of 10 minutes. Probably 5. I'm not saying there should be no anonymity online. I think the default should be identifiable, and sites and services can strip that info and provide locally anonymous environments. That way you can't get anonymous attacks unless you're participating in those places. It's easy to strip ID, but hard to verify it if it's not built-in.

    So you would require all online activity be done through "identity verifiers" such as Facebook? You have probably seen how many issues Facebook's Real Name policy has caused, and that doesn't even come close that level.

      No. I would have at least a secure subnet that uses a slice of IPv6 address space to geolocate - encode lat/long/alt. As one example. So now if you know where a packet came from, you can walk your ass over there and knock on the door. I say a slice of the space because things mobile wouldn't work. There are issue of course, you need to be able to support multiple carriers among other things. But nobody is even trying to solve the problems around this, and they won't because nobody from corporations to government agencies wants it to exist.

    IP addresses are not people and WiFi isn't always secure. http://www.aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id=cracking_wpa http://www.aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id=cracking_wpa
