We have just sat down to start developing a service that is very simple. Well, it will start simple. The site/service will provide a single serialized ID for a small fee. That ID can be anonymous, something like XXXX788XXX or personalized, morantis7788 or identity linked, johnsmith889.
The site will provide the ID and explain the process of adding it to a TX. This is much simpler than using PGP sigs and each ID will have its own page on the site, listing the history and TX's that have used that ID.
In the beginning it can simply be used as a type of tracking spec and/or to associate an individual with TX's. You can tell someone to include it in the TX they are sending to you and that history starts being built.
The is the base service that we will be working into a type of credit score service for Bitcoin users. Rather than use a block explorer to see all the movement on a single wallet, the ID can link multiple wallet addresses, services and whatever the user needs it to do. Then, as the history develops, the ID page willl tel the story of how the wallets, accounts and funds were managed by an individual.
Thoughts are appreciated and welcomed.
The concept is good, this ID is like an digital or online identity, right. There is Keybase for proof-of-identity, but I guess you can only link one address, but this website would enable an user with multiple addresses to display specific transactions on their page using an anonymous ID, awesome.
Majority of bitcoin users prefer multiple addresses for privacy or safety so from a privacy point of view, do you think users would be willing to make all their transactions available on a single source?
Yeah this concept is definitely good for building trustworthiness/credit score and tracking the bitcoin habits of an individual. Maybe based on the credit score, the quantity of bitcoins transacted, the quantity of transactions per day/week, an user would be able to build trust in an anonymous environment and avail loans or use it for other purposes. Maybe I am over thinking, but yeah this concept is definitely interesting.
