TIMELINE
- 00:00 Intro
- 01:21 Special drink
- 02:04 Worldcoin
- 05:58 It’s a DAO
- 06:14 The pitch deck
- 08:23 How does voting work?
NOTES
- Erguotou Soda (probably terrible, but Will is a fan)
- Sam Altman’s support for Worldcoin
- Techcrunch
- Is proof of personhood really critical?
- Claims of privacy about iris-scanning is hard to swallow
- How devices with private key inside get hacked
- Feels like an overt plan to take over the world
- Would be more credible to collaborate with governments instead of going over the top
- Pinky & The Brain
- Main types of voting
- Role-based
- Token-based
- Review the Worldcoin mythbusting article
- P256 on EVM: https://p256.alembic.tech/
- Private-public key paradigm is used all over
- Wauthn is a W3C recommendation
- Can replace passwords
- (Solution to passwords is the account issuer also issues the password instead of user choosing)
- Soft wallet
- Webauthn message is not signed on-chain, so we need to figure out who pays
- EIP-4337 might address this, but the whole premise is dependent on that EIP
- Basically a bridge from EVM networks to webauthn
- Self healing code // the “seesaw technique”
- 6:40 – Open discussion
- @janacmeena7: Any thoughts on the new erc-4337 @web3news_media

Episode 70!
With hot takes on @worldcoin, interesting ideas, viable growth strategy, but no I don’t want iris scanning, and no I don’t think governments want a pan-national entity doing their UBI

Who pays for the UBI?
-
P256 on EVM @w3c recommendation for Webauthn, thank you @codekaiju and more
This is a plan for “bridging” EVM with Webauthn, currently in alpha status, issues remain: can that be a transaction (EIP-4337), or who has to pay the gas?

Thank you for staying to the end!
