Dan Romero on Warpcast

Dan Romero pfp

Would you be willing to confirm your phone number with Warpcast via SMS (wouldn't be publicly visible): 1. Gave you an algo boost 2. You could see other users verified by Warpcast

If it was the only option, and there was no ZK wrapper etc, then I would likely refuse out of principle.

from what I've learned from modding a Discord server, it's very easy to get burner numbers to verify accounts

What would be the difference between SMS verification and ENS or DNS verification?

Yes, and I think this is a great idea to fight spam. Although I don't know if it would work

I would prefer not to link my phone number I love that the service doesn’t require many connections to the outside world

I think a better system would be a personal 5 minute verification google hangout with dwr.eth

Would prefer using proof of personhood from a linked address: Sismo, PoH, Gitcoin Passport, BrightID…

I’ll go against the tide & say “no” out of principle. I’m not even anon here but some people are, & I deeply respect their choice. I think having to “trust” the platform about how the phone number will be used is against the privacy and crypto ethos of trustlessness. Phone numbers are last century’s tech.

Yes but could we do some other Sybil score like Gitcoin Passbook? SMS has known vulns and is inconvenient when I’m out of country

I think doing such things privately and out of band from the main protocol will have a centralizing effect as Warpcast will be the only client with this verification data.

Nope, I don’t use phone on anything for any reason. It’s a shame when great apps require it.

no thanks. if this is for spam management, then it may not really that effective bc there are lots of services that allow anyone to get sms veri codes (i know bc i only use voip numbers and have had to use these services when platforms give me no other choice for verification 😓)

I think it depends what it is we are verifying? I really like verification via Primary ENS: - it’s onchain - it’s already public - it’s unique and unspoofable (I can’t pretend to be vitalik.eth) - there’s cost to it (disincentive to spammers) - A each wallet can only have 1 primary
