So again everyone else is trying to talk about creating a lefty-proof payments system while you're talking about digital authentication.

his teeth are a reflection of american politics

"crooked" 😉

told you it was a pipedream Devpav 😛

So verifiability is critical, but blockchain (or potentially DAG) solutions have no role to play? How can you verify a datapoint without a persistent publicly verifiable record (which appears to be your bugbear with blockchain - and to be clear, I understand why you feel that way, I just think the tech itself is inevitable)?

carrier pigeon!

yes @devpav I am building the foundation while everyone else chases the cryptocurrency dream

i actually have more faith in what you explained than the crypto dream Paradigm

@Heteronymus Bosch keyservers and DNS records can be verified

Wol, I think your comic summed up the situation pretty well. Without financial freedom we might as well fight a revolution.

well its the end point,

government controls all the doors, the only ones you can walk through are the ones they let you use

there will be a thousand payment solutions that present themselves

So what's the difference? I mean, it's a publicly verifiable record, but that's the problem you appear to have with blockchain...

And they won't be barter.

Thousands canm

's survive.

There will be only a handful which thrive.

blockchain is an audit trail of financial (and other) transactions
public verification of identity is entirely different

blockchain is surveillance tech

Not only.

But it could be used for surveillance.

not only, but almost always

And it will.

it will

I agree.

it most assuredly will

there will be billions invested to make that happen

That's why it needs to be in the hands of the public.

As much as possible.

yeah

or just use a never-ending supply of new identities for transactions

but

as I said, many solutions will present themselves

They will.

But few will survive.

And those that do will survive because people used them.

As I am proposing you do with the likely emergent solutions I know of.

the solutions funded by silicon valley will include surveillance and control

If you know of other solutions to financial censorship, please let me know.

ACH

They certainly will.
