Hey @Aranad thanks very much, someone else also sent me a link to their site, I really agree with the spirit of this movement and it looks like there have been some early adopters of this idea for some time now. What they could do is simply take the technique outlined in the readme and apply it to their paperwork. All they would have to add is the PGP information (both signee and them as signing party) and the merkle root. This will be enough to make the document immutable. Then they would simply add another field in their database that pointed to the blockchain, preferably using OP_RETURN so it was discoverable using independent third party APIs. Like this one I just did using Proof of Existence: https://insight.bitpay.com/tx/f8fb45e456fbac68831e7887e4e4520f91adcc7dd3f5a7f801d8bba6e4445fe7 |
Hi Chris, could we chat, I am working on a project linked to an NGO and we have a similar mindset |
@MrChrisJ sorry forgot to tag you, it's social impact project looking to protect children at risk |
Yeah I think you're right, integration would all be on WSA's side, unfortunately I think it might be difficult to convince them of the benefits as they seem really old-school, for example all their payment methods are done using printer paper forms posted in the mail! |
Perhaps worth a try though, they may have some young tech-savvy fellows on board? |
Thanks @Aranad I will contact them and let you know how I get on. |
Hey @johnedge I reached out on Twitter as I don't know how to DM on Github |
Have you heard of the World Service Authority? it's an organisation that's been around for a long time now and offers a real "world citizen" passport. It's legally accepted in 6 countries and intermittently accepted in about 150. I'm not exactly sure what a connection between this project and that would entail, but it seems to me that these projects are so complimentary that it's definitely worth investigating!
