absolutely great post!
you got it bang on...
its a bit like microsoft / linux
for EOS it makes a lot sense to implement KYC and to become a real commercial power blockchain.. that's their way and it will be a successful one...
but as you have clearly shown KYC will repel many users and USE CASES..
so if EOS voice becomes successful it will drag steem in its slipstream up...
.. and yes we have to find a way to facilitate commercial transactions on steem and it will be somehow more difficult because of missing KYC.. but we also have a strong open source community that creates amazing technology..
.. and in regards to BOTs... yes this is the evil of steem.. but if everyone here would be on the same page we could abolish them pretty quick.. with or without KYC...

Its not KYC its a simple signup for, and the face scanning biometric is not KYC... they can call it that to make regulators happy, and maybe you all should realize that? EOS face scanning is about allowing 1 person 1 account in their social media space so peopel cant just make it vcery un fun like on steem....

dod you all forget @dan created STeem/Steemit ?

Also i would bet the author has more eos than steem, and maybe remind people that voice is not eos

so many steem fanboys in the comments, irrationaly making snipes at EOS when the post was about VOICE, the dapp, not the whole eos blockchain wehich is superior than steem in blockchain metrics and marketcap/price so lay off the FUD ok? @asphamilton ?

Fair comment but Steem Fanboys might be similar to EOS Fanboys lol - I admit I am not a fan of Dan and his way moving around but I appreciate he is a genius tech wise. The Steem fanboys might simply be a bit irrational as of Dan claiming to invent the much better Steem 2.0 which Voice will never be. He did a great job raising money but I still have doubt on the capabilities of the EOS blockchain and do believe it is overhyped - it is a money thing we all know @ackza - if this "social media" brings blockchain to the masses I am more than happy to appreciate that.

Could you drop a link that describes the face scanning biometric in more detail? Perhaps that will help us understand, thanks.

Fully agree with your comment. But it´s not central KYC and public storing of fingerprints. A fingerprint isn't even a fingerprint, it's an electric-resistance scan of deep layer structures. The scan gets hashed, and keys are generated. Its tightly bound to the cryptoprocessors, which most smart devices have. Like secure enclave processor from ARM. Like with a hardware wallet, the information does not come in touch with the SoC of the device or the internet.

The point is having a KYC without knowing the customer. It's only about to know one user behind multiple accounts to solve the abuse problem we see with Steem (I know for many big accounts its no problem but a business lel). We should empower or system by educating the users and adapting new technologies and not by repeating false claims. The wallet technology is even open source. Its a present not a threat. And other chains are possibilities and no competition. Norrowmindednes will harm us long term.
