Fingerprint (and its ilk) use a tiered identification system to identify you, with a decrease in confidence with each step down. They start with a supercookie approach (first-party cookies, third party cookies, indexdb, localstorage, sessio

Sorry about that...public now. So the whole selling point of this approach is that after coordination with other browsers - the server is completely out of the picture. All telemetry is done peer-to-peer instead of coordinating with a centr

When the crusader army reached Béziers, they demanded that all heretics be handed over. The townspeople refused, and the crusaders stormed the city. Once inside, they couldn’t tell Catholics from Cathars—everyone spoke the same language and

Thanks for the feedback. I don't see this as the end all ultimate solution for age verification. I see it more as a tourniquet; imperfect - but better than bleeding to death.

Banks and most sites requiring age verification are _littered_ with tracking software that does _literally_ this. Further, if you put on an adblocker and I get access to the logs at ironbank and hornpub; I could just query them for your IP

Not asking to troll or be a jerk. Promise. What would need to happen in the United States to implement a reliable ZKP age verification system - and how long would it take to roll it out? Asking because it feels like the Titanic has sunk, an

Here's my crack at a good-enough solution for the U.S. It doesn't have a ton of granularity - but the concept is shovel ready now, dirt cheap, and privacy preserving. Video Demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mmc

I'm not as concerned with preventing kids from accessing adult materials. Thats what parents are for. My main driver here is to offer a free counter punch to tx sb 1181. Making adult sites verify age with expensive and leaky third part

As a father of three, I think a lot about online safety. Kids need protection, but current age verification mandates are creating a dangerous precedent—not because of their goal, but because of how they’re being implemented. Texas SB1181 an

Luckily Chase and Pornhub aren't greedy and don't use ad-networks or share your data at all...

Better to go down with the titanic than leave your cabin with your hair disheveled! And what will the survivors say if you show up in the life boat with the same formal attire you had on the night before!?!

Also, mulling over it; I would bet pornhub and chase.com both use google-ad trackers and 200 other ad networks. The issues my mvp create require chainalysis and a warrant. Maybe big picture, not so bad.

I'm sorry. The system has already failed me. Short of moving or becoming king of Texas; what should I do? Practical advice is welcomed!

Salt and hash the IP or something so the RP can see the user's IP is the same as the bank's; but not necessarily _what_ the IP is...?

You get it! Thank you! My attempt at _a_ solution isn't _THE_ solution; but it seems like there's legitimately something around leveraging existing KYC infra that could get a solid 98 out of 100 - and can realistically be implemen

This is constructive criticism. Thank you! I completely missed that I could hand the merchant string to a friend with a bank account and have them sign it. Pretty obvious in retrospect! Its not perfect, but maybe reasonable enough to preven

A little more aggressive than maybe necessary, but I do appreciate the sentiment. Truly. My goal here is to try and point out that there is a solution that can be rolled out in under 6 months by leveraging existing kyc infrastructure. IT DO
