Comment on Alumni Labs: public good funding for blockchain diplomas

Comments

This is an interesting idea. There are a few other public goods that are similarly shaped (document notarization and land records/registry are the examples that leap to mind).

But there are a few areas of potential problems, such as diploma mills with deceptive homoglyph names or domains (eg. һаrѵarⅾ.edu).

Thanks for the feedback! Making sure the issuer is legit is basically an oracle challenge that needs off chain coordination.
