Hello Stellar,
Long time lurker, first time poster here. Recent events encouraged me to revisit this thread.
I would vote yes to Bright ID and no to Proof of Humanity, because it seems weird for a founder of a project to ragequit a DAO
I want to stress and clarify that Santi is not a founder of Proof of Humanity. No matter how he, with his political prowess, portrays himself in media, obfuscating the fact that he did not build Proof of Humanity.
For example, Santi did not clarify this fact to the Times reported, and they initially mispublished
Santiago Siri the founder of Proof of Humanity, right, with Vitalik Buterin, the founder of Ethereum, in front of a mural in Argentina […]
For this week’s newsletter, I spoke with Santiago Siri, the founder of the Democracy Earth Foundation and the lead creator of Proof of Humanity

The Times later published a correction, “” (see How Blockchain Could Solve the Problem of Digital Identity | Time, use google cached version to avoid dumb javascript singin popup)
Correction, Jan. 28
The original version of this story misstated the role Santiago Siri played in Proof of Humanity. He is a board member, not the sole founder or lead creator.
I won’t belabor the point, but there are many instances where Santi is less than honest about his involvement with Proof of Humanity. Santi is also less than honest about $ubi which had an initial investor and premine from who Santi encouraged exit liquidity for.
To clear the record, the creator of Proof of Humanity is Clement Lessage.
Please do not let the poor behavior of Santi Siri stain the reputation of Proof of Humanity integrated with Kleros.
Santi is currently attempting a greedy takeover of Proof of Humanity, attempting to fork Kleros to insert his $ubi token, and use that fork for Proof of Humanity. No one who values sybil resistance wants that outcome. Santi’s sole motivation is to pump his own token.
The ongoing governance issues with Proof of Humanity withstanding, when the dust settles, no matter what happens, there will always be a sysbil resistant DiD protocol integrated with Kleros. Kleros is even developing a new cross-chain, soulbound version. When this version launches, I invite the Moloch DAO to reconsider stress testing Proof Of Humanity, especially after the on-going governance struggle with Santi elapses. Constitutional guard rails backed by Kleros will be amended in future governance systems to prevent hostile, populist takeovers like Santi is now leading.
