    How do you use Sybil attack for a system where the initial creator signs the initial voters, and then they collectively sign elections and acceptance of new members and all such stuff?

    Doesn’t seem to be a problem for a system with authorized voters.

        So why would they accept said AI-generated applicants?

        If we are making a global system, then confirmation using some nation’s ID can be done, with removing fakes found out later. Like with IRL nation states. Or “bring a friend and be responsible if they are a fake”. Or both at the same time.

            One can elect a small group which will and will sign its connection to something intermediate. Then only they will.

                Well, you will see everyone admitted. Just not their government ID.

                Or you might make all admissions public, after all, there’s difference between pseudonymous admission and pseudonymous action. Blind signatures, ghost keys. One can have public admission, but their actions inside the network will be sufficiently pseudonymous.

                There are plenty of variants really.
