As in, the promises they claim are different from the actual results, and they know this as they are saying them. It is a con, like everything crypto.

- brian_cloutier 3y agoWhat is the thing they are claiming which is different from the actual results and which they know is different from the actual results?
- drngdds 3y agoThat it actually freakin' works at doing the thing it's trying to do (providing a currency with a guarantee that each account is controlled by one person)
- brian_cloutier 3y agoI don't believe they have ever promised that. One person = one account is not at all how the system is designed. It is definitely never mentioned or promised here: https://whitepaper.worldcoin.org/ https://whitepaper.worldcoin.org/ and it is contrary to the system outlined in that document.
- moefh 3y agoThat whitepaper doesn't explicitly say "one person = one account", but it seems to be a really basic feature of the system: - They clearly don't want accounts that don't belong to a person ("Keep the Bots Out" is an explicit goal). - They also don't want one person with more than one account (World ID is intended to solve the problem of governance by ensuring that each person gets only one vote).
- chaxor 3y agoEverything in cryptography is a scam. Cool. Ssh is a scam. Got it.

- TRiG_Ireland 3y agoMethinks you're committing the etymological fallacy. Crypto is not cryptography. Crypto is a specific subset of cryptography, quite far removed (in purpose, if not in technology) from normal cryptography.
