Pseudonymity is a common solution to privacy issues. People need a way to stay private when they are not impacting others. When you impact others, I think it's eventual that harmful impacts show who you are. > And also, the internet is free, with such a system an internet with > different speeds might be more easily made as every user is known within a > certain time span. I suppose the internet is free so long as we have the freedom to build its infrastructure; we can then build it as fast as we want, like a handmade go-cart. This takes a lot of r&d. > I'm currently working on a blockchain of identities ( > https://github.com/nvrrdt/onzecurrency) and I'd like to continue developing > this, so I hope the concept has a chance to succeed in its endeavor. It's great to see a blockchain project; I glanced at the page. I'm not familiar with the security guarantees of a blockchain that doesn't resist a sybil attack, but I like the idea of heuristically proving people's uniqueness in some way. I'm sure many people have considered such things.
