Do you have any articles to learn more about this? I’ve been thinking about this exact problem with many companies requiring hoops like phone numbers for antispam purposes. But all they really care about is that it’s a human not a bot.
So some way to have an independent central website with list of valid but anonymous keys could be used to sign up for any online service and prove you’re a human. Sort of like id.me . I’d almost be okay needing to get a letter in the mail for initial registration.

I think a much more reliable proof is a vouch from another member who signs up to be your "sponsor" -- responsible for all your actions. If you're interested in seeing a working prototype, check my profile. Some of the things I described have to be done manually for now, however, until the UI is finished.
- tepitoperrito 4y agoI'm thinking along similar lines (including physical mailing of smartcards or something similar). I like building AGPL software and take on commercial work from time to time. Maybe I should write an article ; ) Email is in my profile. EDIT check out upspin.io project it's written in go and has a lot of thought put in
