"a trusted party" does not exist at scale.
You missed “and web of trust”.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_of_trust
Please don't be disingenuous. I suggested we could do it the same way we do it now. It's a chain-of-trust issue, and not just anyone would be able to vouch for you.
This is really just a Web of Trust, right?
if you have to trust third parties, whats the point?
I think web of trust might be suitable here.
You need to have a chain of trust somehow... that's the best they could do.
Doesn't WOT (Web of Trust) attempt to do this?
Like the Web-of-Trust or similar?
Wouldn't you have to trust the centralized authority?
