Coinbase is difficult to access in my region

I answered yes, but I'm not interested in linking my anon farcaster profile to my doxxed KYC Coinbase account. Find a better way to eliminate bots.

I have one but:
1.) It has restrictions on it 
2.) I haven’t used it since 2017 and am now fully non-custodial

So effectively, no

I would much rather deal with bots than use KYC or eyeball scanning to get onto Farcaster

Interesting how many of these have been tried:

Worldcoin attestation comes to mind as an alternative

I don’t quite like where this is going :(

Proof of human/kyc is an easy answer to a hard problem and it won’t solve it.

TLDR: it won’t solve the bots problem. Only make it worse coz then u have bots farm buying cheap kycs spamming. 

Pair it w/ financial incentive? A diseaster coming 

Connect it to coinbase verification/gitcoin passport/world id only make it worse: u don’t even need these on x. How to make ppl go this far to use farcaster?

It would be interesting to use zkPassport or zkEmail for a more general purpose solution. 

Coinbase is not accesible in many countries. And also pushes people to lean into using a centralized service.

Have you thought about feet pics? https://dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.1145/3544548.3580924

I wonder what population of current (non bot) casters will not be able to verified because of this. Coinbase is not a global wallet.

My region doesn’t support coinbase, without vpn
Can’t we sign google forms or something

I have an account … but it’s not convenient using it cuz it’s not accessible where I am

Oh lord, please don’t make doing business with Coinbase the criteria for being labelled human. I’m not even going to begin to list all the ways and reasons that would suck rocks.

coinbase makes it hard to create a new account rainbow instead please

Nope, coin base is tricky in my region 
I'm glad rainbow emerged tbh
