Does that help?
or does it give us a "false sense of security".

Does what help? Verifying people?

Edit: yes and perhaps.

Yes, I'm asking how &/or why verification might help.
'bad' people can get get past any 'gatekeeper'
'good' people just give away ID info.

Multiple accounts are fine by me for a number of reasons.

It's the accounts that are mainly showing themselves eating food in a bikini on a deserted island in Indonesia that need to prove it is them with the 100,000 Instagram followers.

I don't need to prove who I am, my 'business' is not built around my 6 pack - because i don't pretend to have one.

There are easy ways to prove who you say you are. A picture of you, with your steemit login, and today's date (newspaper).

I am interested in the "number of reasons" as I said.
To me it creates an unlevel playing field (#votes /person/day )
and adds to the 'fictional' char problem.

  • Security

  • A 'community' account like @curie/@ocd/@steemitblog/cheetah/@spaminator/@minnowsupport /bidbots

  • steemvoter account to vote a subset of your total SP to people and communities you wish to support longer term

  • Testing

  • Zappl

  • To focus on individual subject areas

I think others could add to that list easily.

Thanks for info.
