Theres a tweet going around claiming that people are scanning the iris of poor villages and getting the “reward” for themselves.

This whole project is creepy and disgusting.

Not dissimilar to when the USSR imploded: the (ex-)komrades were given shares of the company they were working in. Some evil people who then use different means to collect those shares. Apparently at times driving with trucks full of vodka and exchanging the company shares for a pack of bottles of vodka.

The project is creepy but the scammers stealing others from their fair share are just downright evil people.

Eyeball bounties are now a thing. Which country / mercenary group will round them up first to take all the worldcoin? They really should have thought of the implications of creating an incentive market for iris scans.
