I'm often told it's appreciated I stick to my values and how more projects should be built the right way, like rotkiapp is We're improving, but finding a sustainable business model that preserves said values is hard I'm looking for a business person to help with this. Preferrably in Germany plz Recast for visibility

> most people in the world are not even aware of proof-of-personhood protocols, and if you tell them to hold up a QR code and scan their eyes for $30 they will do that. Once someone is educated and realizes it was a mistake to sell their irises what can they do? (See above) @brightid has social recovery. @worldcoin ?

What prevents orb holders (or manufacturers) from creating massive sybil attacks? What does the graph of accountability look like among orb holders? If you create a decentralized system of accountability like this, you've created @brightid Aura (and probably don't need biometrics any more.)

If not, do we need to maintain an iris court to handle these disputes? How is it governed?

Let's say a real orb holder claims to help you get verified on Worldcoin, but instead they keep your new account for themselves. How do you recover? Does a new registration always invalidate an old one? If so, can someone who has your irises can continuously steal or invalidate your account?

> more ambitious proof-of-personhood project: Worldcoin @brightid is no less ambitious, just much less funded because we operate as a public good rather than a VC-backed company.

Mostly my response is to bring you up to speed on Aura, a new verification system for BrightID + a decentralized expert system for other domains. Also blind signatures in BrightID, and Unitap https://unitap.app which can help with the account renting problem by limiting the # of distinct apps / tokens a person can use.

I just finished reading it. I'm glad you're still thinking about this. I have so many thoughts I need to write a blog post to respond. I'll also put the heads of my responses here in warpcast. Give me a bit of time.

Maybe ask yourself if you really need native capabilities. A web app can do almost anything these days.

@davidgreenstein Is building a recommendation engine for sound.xyz a priority? Maybe something this person could work on? https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/sound.xyz/2a4902d6-cb58-4453-a997-d805be386b6d

I'm fine with mitigating age-related suffering though.

It took me some time to understand. I started looking into more after reading the essay Vitalik links to in his twitter profile under "it's important." I still have questions, like "if no one chose to be born, why would we choose to live forever?" Also, what happens when accidents become the #1 cause of death?

Ok well I listened again and I don't like this particular song, but I remember having at least one song from this collaboration in my playlist. Also aren't people trying to figure out how to become immortal ( @vitalik.eth ? ) As long as it's a cure for senescence and not brain vats or eternity in FB metaverse, I'm down.

I remember liking this when it came out. I need to give it another listen. It's been a long time. If I remember, it was William Shatner spoken word over Ben Folds music and I liked it.

I doubt we're all CS majors here. I bet there's plenty of people who majored in music, but went on to be software devs :D
