It seems like just about every major problem with the internet right now would be a lot easier if Step 1 were solved. If it could be solved in a way that also preserved privacy, then the net result could even be positive.

- Hello71 5y agoit doesn't seem like it actually uses blockchain? according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proof_of_personhood https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proof_of_personhood, it's basically PGP WoT but hopefully actually usable?
- dane-pgp 5y agoI think "PGP WoT but hopefully actually usable" is a good way to describe it, but the system is at least blockchain-adjacent. As the user guide[0] says: "BrightID and IDChain itself use DAOs on IDChain for governance." and: "IDChain (IDChain.one) is a proof-of-authority blockchain where validators are democratically elected by BrightID-verified unique humans."
