Hi Jori, thanks for the work you're doing on AWA and wanting to move
the Web toward the future that you mentioned above. There are many of
us on this list that are attempting to do the same, so you're in good
company. :)

I read it quickly, so might have missed a few things. It reminds me of
the BBS work we're doing with pseudonyms:

https://www.w3.org/TR/vc-di-bbs/#credential-bound-pseudonyms

What I can't tell from your write up is how the RP (we call it a
Verifier) can tell if a state's eID value was used or not. How do you
do that in zero knowledge?

You also say that the solution can only be used inside a national
boundary, which would work against sybil attacks inside the national
boundary, but proof of personhood often goes beyond national
boundaries -- how do you solve for that?
