What does "social identification mean"? Also, what does verifying someone mean?
Why do you think "fake" accounts are a problem here? Hive has stake-based voting. You can fake money. If someone wants to have a 100 accounts, so what?
If we had account-based voting on rewards, then quite obviously there'd have to be KYC. But since we don't, why do you think anyone would want to do KYC here voluntarily? There is no benefit whatsoever in doing so and many downsides. Hive is completely public and readable by the entire world. Why would you be as crazy as to put your personal data out there for ID thieves to steal for one thing?
It was a name I have hypothetically given to the process of it. Which needs to be defined. The process would not publicly share ID data, but would allow you to verify ID via a methodology of "PoC" (proof-of-contact). Where you base your identification process based on others being in contact with you.
It's nothing I saw, just something brewing in my head. Don't even know it works, but hey... does not cost to thing about idealization of it.
The base ideology is to improve the authenticity of someone by both adding more proof and also reducing the "value" of that ID personification by others attempts. Even if accounts where the ID is not "real" I think this process would work. Ultimately making arguments drive the real truth.
AI could be either a problem or a good thing... have not really thought about it enough.
My point is that those accounts should have less value than an "authentic" (that represents a person) ones.
I do not think (even if I used the word "kill" above...) or said that they are a problem in this context (but let's not argue against that... that is not my point). My point is just towards adding more value for the ones that are "not fake".
My ideology is not the "usual" KYC... I agree we should not share publicly ID proof. But instead find a way to work towards a "way" of creating ID value, based on a "behavior" or "process" methodology. This is nothing proven, just a discussion of ideas.
It would be something that would even allow a stolen account to be de-verified based on the real person choosing to go through the same process on a different account. Would be something like this: "if you steal my account you don't steal my identity... just my funds"
I made an error. This:
should read "You can't fake money."
If someone steals an active user's account while that user cannot or won't start account recovery for some reason and starts posting with it, I think that person will be identified as not being the original owner rather quickly. We all have a unique writing style that is very difficult to spoof. The more you have written the more identifiable your personality. In that sense, a proof of unique identity already exists.
