Validbook idea in a nutshell. Looking for a public feedback.

 I am looking for a public feedback/discussion on Validbook idea. I think
CCG mailing list is the best place for it, because it will help to
deliberate SSI, RWOT ideas, as well as to flash out technical nuances of
DID and VC standard.
My original email about Validbook [1] to this mailing list contained a bit too
much of everything. I hope this email contains the right amount of details
and will trigger an interesting discussion.

In a nutshell Validbook idea is simple:

   - create service that allows to create Self-Sovereign Identities
   - create service that allows these SSIs to prove that they uniquely
   represent human individuals in a digital world
   - create Kudos (tokens with daily supply 1 token per 1 living human
   (7.5B KDS/day in 2018)
   - distribute Kudos between SSIs that proved to uniquely represent human
   individual - thus creating huge continuous incentive for people to
   participate in Kudos distribution and support Validbook Services right from
   the start *(solving common killer of "big ideas" – the chicken-egg
   problem)*
   - use Kudos for development and support of human-centric Validbook
   Services (low-engaging non-addictive social networking service; end-to-end
   encrypted email service; digital signatures service, wallet for
   self-sovereign money, etc);
   - as a result create leading implementation,  "killer application"
for Self-Sovereign Identity
   idea, DIDs and  Verifiable Credentials specifications, that will provide
   pressure and motivation for governments and organizations to coalesce
   around it, thus leading to widespread adoption of SSI, end-to-end
   encryption, self-sovereign money, ultimately to more freedom and more
   protection of human rights.

This all might sound as something too grandiose and futuristic, but I
cannot find the reason why it cannot be done.
