What do you think about it? I guess that woman to men ratio will be something like 1:20

    An LSAG signature proves that the signature came from one of the announced public keys, but it is impossible to know which.

    I mean I just took the users word for summarizing the thing accurately, but doesn’t seem too complicated to me https://crypto.stackexchange.com/a/112036

    Either way, it’s not about this specific idea. It’s just that you need some technical way to combat bots, be it cryptography, web of trust, subjective moderation etc. If it’s open source, there will not be enough volunteers to do moderation

      LSAG is a good shout but I’m not sure it’s sufficient. It enables anonymous verification of something against a set of known public keys. But you still need to make sure that set of public keys is coming from real humans. It’s not proof that a user has a property (i.e. being human), it’s just proof they are a user.

      But yes this is sort of a digression from the actual main problem. The real anti-bot solution is a mix of methods imo.
