ELI5, how does this work?

It claims to both identify humans and be zero knowledge.

What’s to stop me registering a bunch of times then letting my bot use my identities?

The answer is implied to be my iris scan. But then it isn’t zero knowledge for some entity is it? Unless it is relying on the Orb never being hacked?

Any good third party write ups on it? The WorldCoin page is a bit long and doesn’t quickly explain how it works at a basic level.

Seems it creates an "iris code" from the iris scan. Then they want to develop some new hash function to hash the iris code to get an iris hash.

This iris hash should then be stored in some decentralised database like a blockchain or something.

So if you damage your iris you're fucked ?

Yes. That is how biometric data works; if my finger gets cut off I can no longer unlock with touch ID on my iPhone.

Wonder if they have a backup ID method of some sort or if it’s solely iris data
