Never heard of Polkaidentity. Who are you? Why should you be trusted to be a registrar? If you verify an account is a particular person (not a bot) and it is an imposter then scams might be facilitated. Expect chaos!!!
On the other hand. Kusama does expect chaos, and a bunch of accounts with fraudulent verification could certainly be chaotic. Kusama is here for teams to experiment and build reputation before moving to Polkadot. In order to build reputation you must first be allowed to try. If the worst happens and Polkaidentity does turn out to be providing faulty identity attestations then it shouldn't be too difficult to revoke all Polkaidentity associated ID's.
Usually the negative consequence of a faulty attestation would be loss of reputation, but in this case you have no reputation to lose, but you can't build a reputation if you don't get the chance. Kusama is the place to start that reputation building as a probationary registrar.
Hi, this is Dr Cao from AIWeb3 community. I am glad to hear more registrar service, but I have the following concerns:
- I would like to know more about you, why you think that you should be added?
- It seems your account is not verified, do you have twitter and website and other social media, I think it would be more reliable if your account is verified.
- There is not much discussion from the post that you sent, on kusama or polkadot side, I am curious if you have an explanation about that.
