Running with the example of 911 from the grandparent post, the service needs to be as low-friction as possible when people call. For them it is a matter of life or death.
Imagine if you or I had to make a payment, or solve a captcha, or confirm our identity in order to make an emergency call. That is simply unacceptable in this case.
- Self-Perfection 3y agoThis seems solvable. Most of the phones are used with SIM cards and have non zero balance. For instance we might make a law that the last $5 from cell phone subscription plan can be spent only on emergency calls, nothing else. This will make sure that any phone in active use will have enough balance to make couple of emergency calls. Proving identity can be as easy as scanning your fingerprint twice to unlock the phone and then confirm identity proving operation in crypto wallet. And we can still process calls to 911 without identity or payment but only if we have enough capacity to do so.
