How about making people put down a bond of even a small amount say $10 and something tied to your actual ID. The registrar knows who you are but sites only know you are a verified person but not who you are.
If you are found to be a fake person you forfeit the bond. Now it costs $100,0000 to create 10k fake people and you can lose it all tomorrow.
- drdeca 6y agoThis seems nice, but it would be nicer if there was a cryptographic way to be sure that the site couldn't obtain your id from the registrar. Is this doable? Or maybe these requirements together are contradictory?
- michaelmrose 6y agoIf you are using an email to sign up and verifying that user actually controls email as is normal presumably they could look up the bond with your email. Essentially registrar and major sites would coordinate to get bot accounts revoked your registrar wouldn't want to cancel user accounts erroneously. In most cases logically the registrar could be your email provider which would just be selling a verified email address but a third party could offer the same thing.
