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.

My EU country allows tapping the ID card on a NFC reader on PC for verification. No smartphone needed for desktop use.

Why wouldn't that be sufficient?

Most PCs don't have NFC readers.

Smart card readers are normal in Israel on desktops.
