  • You should see what searching was like on AltaVista. You’d have to scroll past dozens of posts of random numbers and letters to find anything legible. Click through and your computer would emit a cacophony of bell sounds and pour out screens of random nonsense and then freeze permanently. You had to rely on links and web-rings to navigate with any degree of success.

    And that in itself was a massive improvement on what was available before.
















  • You upload identity to a site and it gives you a date stamped token which confirms your age.

    Then when that token is uploaded to an SM site, it verfies the identity of the giver with the site that gives the token. The identity is a hash generated by the token site and contained in both the token and a namespace at the token site, so only the token site knows the real identity. Once the token has been confirmed, the namespace is re-used.

    So you can’t really sell the token, because its linked back to the identity you uploaded to the token site. You need to be logged in to the token site.
