Reminds me of how I got users to verify their ownership of Minecraft accounts[0]. There is no profile to add a token, but they can switch their skin, and you can download a user’s skin without being in-world.

Cool write-up! Wouldn't you need to generate a new random verification skin for everyone that tries to verify?

This is long dead, but yes that would be the next step. At least right now, you could only falsely claim someone’s account if they installed my verification skin, but you could wait for someone to do that and then quickly claim their account before they did.

Instead, the token (a text string) will be an "object" (a non fungible token) that you prove is in your wallet with zk proofs,

wallet being on whatever chain(s) decided upon as ubiquitous in the coming year.

I assume this is /s and I laughed when I read it. Well played.

It’s not sarcasm, and it is what some communities want to achieve with decentralized identification.

Yep, I still do this with gbs.fm!

Ah the memories and nostalgia of seeing this comment are immense! I miss the good ol' days of the pre tech giant internet. I used to go to the in person NYC charity events and it was an awesome community.

:wave: other goon, hope you and all are well.

Have you considered playing more Journey? :^)

this site is the last place i thought i'd find a gbs.fm reference

Had to migrate somewhere!

What is gbs.fm if you dont mind me asking?

A community radio station where you have to be a somethingawful member to access.
