This is really cool and I have a possible startup opportunity that could use this.

One question if there's anyone from BlockScore listening–I've seen some finance/bitcoin startups that require you to upload a picture of your ID with your webcam via WebRTC. Does BlockScore have anything like this in the works? I think a drop-in JS library for this would be really useful.

BlockScore founder here. We considered it early on but found that our customers are phasing out collecting identity documents if they have not already.

I was wondering about this too. I'm looking for a system that verifies uploaded identity documents, but it seems like BlockScore doesn't do that and only focuses on knowledge based authentication.

Does anyone have recommendations for companies that provides identity document verification, ideally in addition to knowledge based authentication? (one that I recently spoke with is Jumio, but they don't have a pay-as-you-go pricing model, which I really prefer)

Edit: to the BlockScore team - any chance you might support that in the future?

We do work with document collection/verification systems to verify information extracted from the documents. You still have to verify the information that those systems return against watchlists and other database, and BlockScore is the easiest way to be compliant. Send me an email and we can chat about your specific needs. support@blockscore
