Bringing Identity To Crypto

We partnered with Jumio to offer secure identity verification, which can be linked to a Byteball address and used on demand
To be relevant in the real world, we need more anchors to the real world. One of them is identity.

Starting today, every Byteball user can link his Byteball address to his real world identity. The user’s personal data is verified by Jumio, the leading provider of identity verification services, and stored in the user’s Byteball wallet. At the same time, a hash of the personal data is stored on the public DAG and signed by a trusted attestor. The attestor also serves as a witness, so it is already trusted.

This attestation allows the user to prove to anybody that his Byteball address is linked to a verified person, without disclosing any personal information. It also allows to reveal the private information to individual service providers on demand, and the service provider can easily verify authenticity of this information using the hash stored on the public DAG.

I wish them luck with the new distribution but there's no way I'm linking my ID to any one individual address.

Aside from not having a clue who jumio is, I have no plans to stick with only one wallet.

This is only if you want to take part in the airdrop. If you would rather not have the $12 ($20 air drop - $8 Verification fees), you are welcome to give this pass. But as Tony says, more and more ICOs now seem to have a requirement to complete KYC of their investors. Eventually, linking real life ID will become compulsory if you want to invest in ICOs.

A new ICO on Byteball Platform : Worldopoly

Worldopoly is the world’s first mobile game combining AR, AI, Geolocationing, Blockchain, and DAG. The ICO is active until 17 May 2018, and you can buy WPT tokens with Bytes, BTC, or Ether.  WPT token is issued both on Byteball and Ethereum platforms but investors on Byteball platform receive increased bonus (even if they pay in ETH or BTC) for investments up to 30 ETH.

This is a Swiss company.

Wordopoly ICO Bot is already added to the Bot Store.

ByteBall team is making very aggressive promoting campaign using Bitcointalk Signature campaign: they pay 30-160$ (depends on BTT rank) for every week, but requirements are too high: 25 posts per week.
