What I offered was the mechanism I would use to solve this problem, which is a probabilistic approach rather than a deterministic approach. What you described is likely infeasible and impossible, so rather than get blocked on that, I moved to an alternative angle.
- pompino 3y agoWhat is the mechanism? I don't see anything in the comment sorry. Maybe state it simply so I can follow along.
- shermantanktop 3y agoThere is no need for a mechanism in this case; building such a thing would be a waste of time. Honestly, I was trying to respond to your question, and perhaps I was too terse. But I don’t think the mechanism you ask for is possible (or desirable) today. In a future scenario with some type of universal identity there would probably be no need for such a mechanism.
