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

Comments

Since there are a only a handful of orbs floating around I assume you have to save your eye hash to a phone or other device to make your wallet usable day to day. So what exactly is the point of the whole hash since it's only created and verified once at the time of wallet creation? What's to stop me from picking up my friend's phone that they accidentally left on my couch and sending all their orb bucks to my account? This just seems like silly security theater.

I don't think it's actually meant for operational security at all. It seems the iris scan is intended only to ensure that each human has at most one wallet.
