The more curious parts of my brain are wondering whether being offically declared dead and not fixing it would have any advantages.

- jamiek88 4y agoIt seems a great hack for a new life. Declare yourself dead and start again!
- incompatible 4y agoI'm sure it works on Hacker News, but creating a new identity can be harder elsewhere.
- makeitdouble 4y agoMoving to another country is a safer choice: you get to choose the level of “deadness” you are to your surroundings, if you just cut all ties nobody’s going after you. And you can start a new chapter somewhere you never existed in the first place.
- alasdair_ 4y agoYou could probably commit a crime, get bail, and then submit proof that you were dead to get away with it?
- jkepler 4y agoI suspect you'd have to never cross a border/barrier where ID was required, and you would need to pay cash (or bitcoin) in-person for everything, as you would be cut-off from the banking system. You'd probably also be limited to earning cash in work that didn't require your nonexistent legal identity.
