Ask HN: 一个去中心化的“活体证明”?

1作者: ray_v5 个月前
最近,Hacker News 上出现了一些关于开发者去世的帖子,这让我不得不思考自己的死亡,以及我的数字基础设施和其他只有我才能拥有/知道的数字资产/内容(例如密钥、密码等)的死亡。 似乎如果我们能设计某种“存活证明”——可以通过密码学验证,用于继承流程。基本上,让你的受托人可以在 RUFADAA [1] 下执行操作肯定会很有用。 但后来我突然意识到,同样的证明也可以应用于其他情况,比如在你的在线帖子、互动和参与中放置某种“肉体印记”也会非常有用——只要它不能被轻易操纵。 “存活证明”当然是一个非常难(不可能?)解决的问题……或者说,是吗? 很好奇 Hacker News 认为什么才是这个明显需要一个好解决方案的问题的可行解决方案。 [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_inheritance#cite_note-11

Sadly, there have been a fair number of HN posts lately about devs passing away. It&#x27;s forced me to think about not only my own mortality, but the mortality of my digital infrastructure and other sorts of digital assets&#x2F;content that ONLY I may own&#x2F;know (e.g. keys, passwords, etc).<p>Seems like if we could design some sort of &quot;aliveness attestation&quot; - such that it could be cryptographically verifiable for the purpose of a succession process. Basically making it so that your fiduciaries can execute under RUFADAA [1] would be handy for sure.<p>But then it sort of dawned on me that that same sort of attestation could be applied to other situations like placing some sort of &quot;mark of meat&quot; onto your online posts, interactions and engagements could be undeniably handy as well - so long as it couldn&#x27;t be gamed (at least not, &quot;easily&quot;).<p>&quot;Proof-of-Aliveness&quot; is of course a very hard (impossible?) problem to solve ... or is it? Curious what HN thinks could be a viable solution(s) to a problem that so clearly needs a GOOD solution.<p>[1] https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Digital_inheritance#cite_note-11
