  Yes, but it also assumes that the orb is perfect, and never hacked or reverse-engineered to generate completely arbitrary quantities of these keys. You're putting an awful lot of trust in this for a 'trustless' system.

    There are ways to track which orb originated identities and it would be easy to mass remove a known compromised orb. It would result in some people needing to be rescanned but it would ultimately make this extremely high effort attack vector not very fruitful. Additionally any stolen orb would be immediately remotely blocked so this would take coordination with an orb operator who would also be banned for life

      If there are ways to track whose id came from what orb it is completely possible to deanonymize people’s world ids. And if worldid was ever used for a voting system, wiping out the votes of people who come from a specific area would be incredibly valuable. Attacking people’s identities even for only a few dollars each is a multibillion scam industry today.
