Explain to me how "personalities" are relevant to a block chain. A potential delegate simply registers a public key. They don't have to prove their identity in any other way.


In order to register as a Delegate you will need to provide further information (e.g. full name, bitcointalk.org name, twitter, facebook, e-mail, etc.).

This enables voters to know who they are voting for.

Link to those mentioned requirements? I didnt see input area for those fields in the wallet.

Those are examples given, not mentioned requirements. As far as I know, this was discussed in the early stages of the ICO. I am not certain if it has been documented or if it is live on the test network. You would need to get an official confirmation from the developers that this will indeed go live before launching the coin.


By the way, "a lot more legitimacy" is a relative statement.

In the end, online identities are easy to fake and are essentially meaningless.
