I don't see how an iris scan can be a "proof" of anything. One can simply generate any number of realistic-looking scans. There is a website that generates human faces, it should be possible to generate iris images as well.
Also, I don't see why cryptocurrency is needed for UBI. Is real money unsuitable for this purpose?
- drdeca 5y agoThe idea, as I see it, is that with government issued money, you either need to collect the money somehow first, or if the UBI is to be done by the govt, the govt has to be convinced to issue the money, whereas, with a cryptocurrency, it can just be issued exactly in accordance with the UBI payout, where the designers need no permission from the govt, and where recipients aren’t limited to a particular country. If the issuance produces too much devaluation of the token, well, then the experiment didn’t work, but it didn’t interfere with people’s existing savings or the like.
