Guest speaker Amit Verma, www.dirtyhash.com
Good timing for something like DirtyHash, due to growing US regulations
- Lots of exchanges getting calls from OFAC
- OFAC only releases lists every month, unable to deal with zero days
Risks of misuse
- False flag operations
“Black” list, “white” list, “grey” list
DirtyHash aims to be a recommender
- Possible applications of recommendation tokens / soulbound tokens
Insurance idea
- Risk scores can be used for insurance down-the-line
- Could get flagged for money laundering
“We should be using the ideas, but not necessarily the technologies”
“The point of money is to spend it, not to program it.”
