- amelius 4y ago> This would be extremely valuable for many applications Therefore probably hard to design/implement otherwise it would already exist.
- pyrolistical 4y agoNo doubt. The gov needs flexibility for various real life exceptions and they wouldn’t want to paint themselves into a rigid crypto protocol

Drivers are incentivised to stick to one phone number, and to publish these ratings (through p2p). The clients could sort them by recency, so the meaning of old signatures would eventually expire. Just one example of how it could work.
