Comment on Sam Altman’s Worldcoin wants to scan eyeballs in exchange for crypto

Comments

So if you lose an eyeball you lose your money?

But think of the upsides.. every pet in your household is a new digital wallet and sign on bonus. My cat's crypto portfolio is doing better than mine!

Apparently, animal irises are in their threat model, but with the incentives for operators aligned the way they are - expect them to find a good matching animal quite soon.

This is such garbage. Literally, no good can come from this.

For proof of identity, only use physical objects you are prepared to hand over.

At least with 2FA devices, when the thugs show up to ask, you have something to hand them that doesn't involve cutting off a part of your body.

No. There's no link between your eye and the wallet private key: https://worldcoin.org/privacy-by-design
