You have IDs from different governments.
Right now Estonia allows any non-citizens to get an Estonian-approved crypto-token to prove their identity online. They'll deliver it after a thoroughly check of your passport.
Now, you can get fake passports from corrupt governments, but I would argue that the effort, cost and risk to do that is a magnitude higher than what it takes to farm karma on reddit from a troll farm.
- tluyben2 7y agoMaybe some kind of reputation related ID verification; get more 'verified ID' points when you get officially identified by different institutions or states. Let's say I have a Dutch passport, Dutch ID card, Dutch driver's license, Estonian ID card, I pay taxes (also requires ID) in NL, Estonia & PT, I have been to countries where the ID verifications are very stringent and I have been vetted by 20 banks around the world. That would create some score that identifies me as me. You 'only' need some worldwide decentralized system that recognizes this; or maybe just a per country system that works like that; if you don't trust country X to give me the correct score (because maybe I am a journalist with some negative stories about their gov so they fob the numbers and are known for that), you request a score from another country; if I can provide that, you can decide if you trust that I am human and me. The number won't tell what you were vetted for, just that you were and higher=better. EDIT: > Now, you can get fake passports from corrupt governments, But these are known for being corrupt, so your score would already be lowered considerable with a passport from there...
