I've decided to launch a crypto-basic income system.
Crypto UBIs are pretty popular now.
For me, it seems like an open nation-state ID should exist by now (2015). However, Mike Hearn, Bitcoin core-developer and a long time software engineer, outlines in his talk that NFC chips on nation-state passports could be hacked to provide IDs for crypto-developers. However, shouldn't eIDs be able to do that? Is it possible to let users sign in with their eIDs, or do applications need some type of certification that's really hard to get for crypto apps?
I know decentralized IDs are on the frontier (discussion), but eIDs have been around for at least a decade and I should be able to use those. What IDs are available for me on the (global/local) market right now?
