I've been thinking about the problem of limiting accounts to single individuals.
For any type of workable liquid democracy<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fg0_Vhldz-8>, you need to guarantee one vote per person. I've been thinking that our current system of verification is open to digitization. You can get voter rolls, they're used by politicians for mailings all the time. 1. A user creates an online account and enters their registered voting address. 2. The system send mail to that person in such a way it is against the law for someone else to open it. 3. The user enters a code and verifies who they are. The users can then create pseudo-identities which have public data ala. Reddit. So a voting site contacts the identity service and passes a list of user ids. It returns a list of ids such that there is an equivalent number of actual human voters. -Will P.S. I've been thinking about another application for this with STD tests. When you meet a potential partner, you're able to provide a digitally signed test. Along with the test you get an encrypted link to the real identity of the pseudonym you're interacting with. There is also a signed agreement that if you knowingly had contact that might have changed your test results, you agree to compensatory damages. When the victim files suit, in the discovery phase the data will be unencrypted and the perpetrator held liable. P.P.S. The reason the victim holds the encrypted is users should be able to download a signed encrypted link between their identities and then the server deletes it. Users are able to reconnect their identities and create new accounts. The server can keep track of which identities have the same root without keeping the roots.
