this feels like a thing that is being hyped far beyond where it will actually land as far as adoption. i'm looking forward to this PR push ending soon and the whole project being forgotten. there must be a better solution to "proof of humanity"

Can someone explain something? How does an iris scan prove you're human? Is it not possible to fake the data from an iris scan? Is it not possible for an AI to learn how to make such fakes? Is Worldcoin just selling itself as a trusted third party that issues "verified human" certificates? But underlying it all is just a trust me bro, right?

Who on earth would be excited to use this thing? It's basically Ripple with iris scanning.

i think sam’s influence in tech has grown substantially since OpenAI launched ChatGPT, and wouldn’t be surprised to see a bunch of his new followers test this out (i imagine he’ll also manage to get a bunch of major press releases, celeb endorsements, etc…)

I fail to see where the secret (key) is. Is it your Iris? That is something you can copy and is not protected I am sure. Any good camera can scan your iris. Iris is just a fingerprint, just like the one on your thumb, and that is the actual "Fingerprint" in cryptography. That is not enough to sign transactions. You need the secret key somewhere, but I see none. Maybe the Worldcoin company is actually holding your secret on your behalf, which would mean this is a custodial coin and service, a CBDC basically, a centralized database.

Not to mention that the iris (or rather the features extracted from it) probably does not possess sufficient entropy to avoid brute force attacks.

Even worse, your iris is not static. Disease can change the color/texture of your iris. Imagine putting your life savings into something, and then a disease locks you out of it forever.

All this to say: Ignore the noise, and focus on Bitcoin.
Cash and/or privacy coins as well if you wish, but that's just my opinion lol.

As if ChatGPT and other AI technologies aren't Orwellian enough, he's gotta unleash this monstrosity upon humanity?! Pure evil.

I'm enjoying watching this fail in slow motion

This shitcoin will be funnier to watch than most when it inevitably crashes and burns.

Pump and dump

This one has a chance of succeeding. 1) the world has been groomed for alternative coins/money since bitcoin was launched 2) its Sam Altman who has the influence to make it adopted but let's see

The modern day Jim Jones.
