Re:Ask HN: Minimally-intrusive ways to verify real name? by jeffreyshaw on Wednesday April 03, 2013 @10:17PM (#5490567)
Not sure what your use case is; but rather than identifying the PERSON is unique, you can identify that their PHONE NUMBER is unique. Require a text message code be entered on screen. Most people have only 1 cell phone; and if push comes to shove their real name is linked to their cell phone in most cases, so they could be found out via court subpoena.
