their long term project doesn't save or store retina patterns in any way. they store of a hash of it that is mathematically impossible to reverse. it's clear you wildly misunderstand how this works, i would encourage you to go learn more. i'd also welcome you to explain how the crypto side of it is bad in comparison to other uses of blockchains

I don't know what the gaps in your knowledge are to not see Worldcoin as a scam. And I'm not being paid to find out. But it's a fuckin scam. It's exploitative, and sleazy as fuck. It uses crappy blockchain tech, the orbs are proprietary, and you really ought to think twice before condescending at people who try to help you out on this.

Why are you lying to protect sama’s reputation? Worldcoin stores the biometric data for opt-in users. They say it themselves. It’s stored “encrypted” which means the original data is retrievable, and kept in Worldcoin’s custody. All Worldcoin claims is that it has safeguards against retrieving the data it does collect and store, like say Equifax or 23andme claim about your PII.

  > It’s stored “encrypted” which means the original data is retrievable That does not follow. It's true if you're using technical terms correctly, but I've absolutely seen companies use encrypted to mean hashed.

    You can read Worldcoins info yourself, they’re talking about reversible encryption. Thank you for your input.

  Why are you being hostile? I said for the long term project they aren't storing any biometric data. They are doing it now to better train models, but long term it's not something they will gather at all nor need to gather. The retina scan hashes that are stored are not reversible, at all.

    So they are doing it but might not later, alright
