Comment on Memdeklaro - A privacy-friendly decentralized identity framework

So, fake ID as a service?

Identification needs a trusted third party verification to be valid. If you take all authority out of the equation (most commonly governments and banks), this is no more than a piece of paper with no verifiable information.

The print-your-own form lists “EPO” as issuer. I guess that’s the European Patents Office? That’s… a choice, and I don’t know that they issue identity papers, except for concepts and inventions. Either way you can just fill in your own. In fact, you can probably put “Santa Claus” in every form field and push print.

I’m for the idea in principle, but without some validation entity it’s just a novelty site with a straight face.
