RE: MEOS ... June 1st ... The STEEM/Steemit Killer
Biometric Identification <<< Hahahahaha! Who is going to do that in order to post online?

Sooner or later you will have it everywhere...
Your identity they have anyway already, so what?

It's an unnecessary step to post on social media in today's world. Sooner or later - maybe. Today when the crypto space is so small - ridiculous.
Can you explain how secure enclave and unique user identification works? It does not compare your fingerprint with a central server, nor does it care who you are. Your fingerprint is the input for your private key, like your password is...is your bitcoin password public? You swap one string of information against another. It does not matter if who user the names of your family members or if you user your biometrics. As long as another person doesnt own your face, NOBODY can lock in. But anyway its not about the log in. Its about preventing abuse with multiple accounts. You can still have 1000 accounts for trolling or what ever reason but what you cant is bullshiting us, selfvoting with hundret different accounts and raping the reward pool is not possible.
your online identity (which still is "anonymous") is the sum of the interactions (YOUR interactions) with devices and the sum of interactions with other users. This is what makes you human and not a silly bot.
@lauch3d,
Mate, you might want to consider doing a post on Biometric ID. It's obviously a hot button issue (I find this surprising) and it seems as if there's substantial misunderstanding about its intended use.
If you do, please tag me in your post.
Good comments.

Me.
I see two tiers developing, verified and unverified. The latter will just get worse and worse. We should be more concerned with how they use the data.

Cool article. I just helped it get a massive upvote from @theycallmedan. I guess he also liked it.

@abitcoinskeptic,
Good job, mate. We've all got to start talking about how realistically to fix our problems. There are people on STEEM/Steemit with thousands of accounts. This creates havoc ... as @theycallmedan discovered in his recent STEEM Delegation contests (dPoll manipulations). At some point, real world ID's are going to have to be attached to each one so as to eliminate the abuse.
There's a lot of misinformation and misunderstanding about Biometric ID's ... yet more uninformed assertions about Big Brother tyranny. Articles like the one cited help to clear the air.
BTW, I'll be posting a follow-on article regarding the MEOS ("Voice") launch later today (I wasn't impressed). Stay tuned.
@theycallmedan ... welcome back from your honeymoon. No more playing. Grindstone. :-)

Very nice article, thanks for the link. I had a feeling this is how it could work. I just didn'trealize this is how it works. We still run into the issue if issuig proofs for people without fingerprints.

I travel and get checked by immigration many times a year. My fingerprints don't read and they have to get a supervisor. Does this dan guy want to read my eyeball or what? And why does he need this info for me to blog with his new baby?
What are you afraid will happen if you do not know the identity of someone who blogs? Do you know the identity of most of the people on STEEM? Why is this even an issue? It will be a HUGE barrier to entry I think. At least bernie will not be able to get over there into the club, lol.
Anonyminity is a trade off for other things with more value. I can have a real profle on some sites and a secretive profile on others.
I remember everyone saying Monero would be huge because it was private. However it is like 1% of the total crypto market cap.
idk - I think this is a non-issue except for cyrpto-nerds. Never heard of monero myself. I am a weight loss coach content creator and have no thoughts for following dan anywhere. steem has people and dApps I like. Maybe some flood of people will go to this new place and get scanned to do it, but why?
Money.
There is going to be a lot more of it flowing around the verified kyc blockchains and social media networks.
It's centralized and you lose privacy, but hey, money.

I live off what I earn from my blogs at steem so it is all about the money for me. Since dan would only let me have one blog, I am still saying a big NO to his new project.
Living off Steem is pretty cool. I hope the changes don't hurt your income.
Maybe it will be like google where you have 1 real account but can have multiple profiles and emails to keep your various interests and communitues separate. I prefer this to alts especially if it is secure.

What changes do you foresee that might hurt my income? My rent in Kuala Lumpur is 85 USD, to give you an idea of my needs.

I'm off this topic, and doing other things, but thanks.
I travel as a lifestyle, and my fingerprints do not read for Immigration Checkpoints. So I guess it will be the eyeball scan for me.
Here are the top paying steem dApps if you will still be posting here and want to do better:
