alt Hacker NewsSomeone explain me like I'm 5: there are some solutions already in effect that are based on cryptographically generated, anonymous, one-time use tokens that allow to confirm adults's age without being tied up yo your ID. Why on earth even technically skilled people completely ignore those? Is this pure NIMBY ignorance or am missing something?
Because those solutions always have obvious flaws. If the cryptographic token is anonymous, how do you know the user verifying is the same one who generated the token? How do you know the same cryptographic key isn't verifying several accounts belonging to other people?
