What is Reddit's opinion of ICE Unlock Fingerprint Scanner?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

I stated in another comment that I do not understand why Uber just does not implement a step into the application process in your phone that takes a pic of your fingerprints. There are other apps out there that does it for phone security, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dft.iceunlock&hl=en it should not be hard for Uber to implement such a thing in their signing up process.

That's the dumbest thing I've heard in my life ;)

Why can't you have a separate "decentralized ledger" for voluntarily-provided biometric information when people sign up? Use ethereum or coloredcoin or eris or whatever you're using to create the app that records new user's information and ties it to a single wallet address permanently. If people want free-fucking-money they better be cool with having their picture or thumbprint taken.

Here's a free app that can scan finger-prints using a standard android phone camera.

You misunderstand how a blockchain 51% attack occurs. That's not really about voting or democracy, it's about the nodes in the network agreeing with each other. Regardless, you can set the voting threshold to whatever you think is suitable. I'm saying that if 60% of the population wants the world to work a certain way, who is anyone to say otherwise? This means that, yes, there would be legalized bigotry. While I wouldn't vote for that, I wouldn't try to impose my will on the masses, regardless of how "right" I think I am. You have to understand that EVERYONE thinks their position is the "one right answer". There are no objective truths and different laws work for different populations at different locations in space-time.

I guess we'll have to agree to disagree on anonymous voting. We already don't really have anonymized internet anymore and I think that's a good thing. Have you ever been to 4chan? That's about as anonymous as it gets and it's not a great community...although facebook is completely deanonymized and it's not much better. I totally agree that writing the underlying protocol will be tricky and I sure as hell can't do it, but someone can and will.

There actually doesn't need to be a central agency to check biometric data. You can integrate (a more advanced version of) an app like this. You use your thumbprint to create an account and use your thumbprint to log in. You wouldn't even need a username and password keeping it completely anonymous if you so choose. You also could just use a decentralized encrypted database that pairs each user's social security number with an automatically generated PGP key. Now, it's up the user to keep track of those two keys but I think that level of responsibility should be expected of anyone using this system in the first place.

I really think you need to read up on how blockchain works a bit more if you're not gonna take my word for how it works. You absolutely do NOT need outside management for the system to function in the real world. Bitcoin has no central authority controlling it and it's apparently so useful it's increased in value 1000000% in the past 7 years. Centralized organizations utilize bitcoin, but no central organization manages bitcoin. No, the bitcoin foundation does not "own" bitcoin they just promote it's usage.
