This is a great example of how this whole requirement hasn't been properly thought out.

> Desktop support is not currently within the project's scope.

What I would like to take from this is that, by their own definition, desktop apps are out of scope for Age Verification. So does that mean we will see a return of the 'desktop applications' instead of everything being a web service ?

One can dream perhaps. Until then adults who are willing to 'do what they're told' will be the ones who are inconvenienced by this constantly.

Edit: Also this will completely disable any new phone OS' being developed. Why would anyone bother when you can't verify your wallet to do anything online.

No. It's still required by law, which means that your desktop application will require some interaction with your smartphone.

The wallet app can be started using a QR code. You can then finish the verification on your phone and continue on the desktop website/app/whatever.

How can I do this when I don't have a phone?

Don't you people have phones?

Edit: Sorry that reference was a deep cut, I was quoting the devs of that awful Diablo mobile game way back.

For what it's worth, I chortled.
