Have you heard of the BrightID project? I think it could be a pretty cool way to determine real identity without leaking info to the network at large.

I haven't and admit I don't have the expertise required to understand it unfortunately. I can't really see how it could work to actually prove someone is not a bot in large scale social networks. Like, what's stopping three real people to get verified and then use that to verify any amount of bots?
