Worldcoin is owned by the CEO of OpenAI, Sam Altman. The idea is very unique but the idea of retina scam draws a lot of controversies. Also the world citizenship was not possible either.
https://time.com/6300522/worldcoin-sam-altman/I don't think it is a very active project right now. I don't see much traction out there for Worldcoin. I may be wrong though! But I honestly don't think it will come back life ever again from its current state.
It doesn't seem active that much but for some reason most of my youtube feed is about the project (a paid promotion maybe?) so it grabbed my attention.
No matter what, no way many people did this stuff for any amount of money.
That's just insane to what degree some can go, it sounds outright dystopian, as it was outlined already.
Exactly. Although they said that participants are rewarded in
unidentified stable coins which can be USDT/USDC. But how much?
Its the person that will get a reward for having their eyes scanned by the Orb. WLD coin uses that proof of identity mechanism which having your iris scan means you are a real person and you get WLD.
All they did is just scanning eyes actually , there is nothing to this project but all been doing is airdropping WLD to people willing to get their eyes scanned. It gets scary when you think of AIs today and what AIs can do to the iris identity they have.
They call it proof of personhood. I guess proof of identity has been done before (it somehow decreases the decentralization aspect). But the AI part, agreed. There could be a lot of possible identity theft.
