Title: [ANN] UBIC:The cryptocurrency providing UBI for the masses using the E-Passport

UBIC stands for Universal Basic Income Currency and is a blockchain -based platform that distributes crypto currency under the form of a universal basic income .
- How does it work?
Since 2008, more than 60 countries issue biometric passports, which include a NFC-compliant RFID chip containing digitally signed personal information.
These embedded NFC chips can be read out easily using smartphones and other NFC-capable devices.
UBIC takes advantage of this existing technology and uses the unique digital signature issued with every E-Passport in order to securely distribute a basic income.
To receive this UBI, a user has to recover the digital signature from the chip by using his NFC capable computer or smartphone, this piece of information is then cryptographically linked to an UBIC address.
Within minutes— and this every minute until approximately expiration of his passport— the user will receive a country -specific UBIC token named UUS for the US, UCH for Switzerland, UUK for the UK, and so on.

-Who can participate?
Everyone  can receive and make payments, however, if you want to receive an UBI, you need to own a valid (non-expired) passport of one of the following countries:

- How much will I receive?
There is a static amount of coins distributed every minute. For example, for Germany, 191 units will be minted every minute.
The amount each individual receives depends on the amount of people having registered. If there is only one UBI subscriber for Germany, then he will collect the full 191 units.
If there are more than one subscriber, this amount will be equally split and if there is a division reminder, it will be added to the payout of the next block.
As a consequence, if the number of subscribers increase, you'll receive less but probably more valuable coins.
This design incites people to register as soon as possible and makes the coins valuable, as the maximal supply is predictable and the value of a single coin has the potential to increase over time.

- What about transaction fees?
Transaction fees are important to ensure that a fair use is made of the limited available amount of transaction storage within a block.
To make sure this fee isn't neither too low nor too high, the fee will depend on the current UBI payout.
This means that a simple one input, one output transaction will cost you about 3 to 6 hours of UBI. The transaction fee itself is burned/destroyed, which is meant to reduce inflation.

- How many people can join?
UBIC intends to be much more scalable than other crypto currencies, this will mainly be achieved by relying on less but more powerful nodes;
by design, donations to nodes have been simplified at some of the dev funds will be allocated to it.
with a mix of designated and elected delegates.
Under the current implementation, there will be a maximum of 51 super nodes.
Currently, blocks are limited to about 2MB in size; this translates in about 20 times more block space than Bitcoin currently has.

- When will it start?
The source code is released hereby on Github as well as all the necessary resources to run a node.

- Development fund
UBIC is the result of over one year of intense research and development, this effort won’t stop now and will require some funding.
Unlike many other projects, we have decided not to run an ICO, instead, our development fund will get its own kind of UBI.

The development fund will be used for expenses such as:
 - Continuing the development of UBIC
 - Bug, translation and security bounties
 - Blockchain explorer development
 - Mobile App development
 - Running nodes
 - And any required or desirable new developments.

If you want to do one of those things, please write to me.
If you want to receive donations for running a node, all you need to do is to add your address in the config.ini file.
Then create a Pull request with your node IP address on this repository: https://github.com/UBIC-repo/node-list

This sounds like a nice project, will it expand to other countries as well?


Title: Re: UBIC: The crypto currency providing UBI for the masses using the E-Passport
Post by: ubicorn on February 26, 2018, 07:35:57 AM
@vuppie0 : Expanding to other countries is possible.
The requirement are that the country:
 - uses ECDSA certificates or RSA certificates with an exponent >= 65537
 - emits a new Document Signing Certificate at least every three months are required by the ICAO
 - Publishes these certificates
This was the case with the countries listed in my first post.


Title: Re: UBIC: The crypto currency providing UBI for the masses using the E-Passport
Post by: vuppie0 on February 26, 2018, 07:51:04 AM
Then maybe you could also add the Turkish passport to the list?

According to Wikipedia:

Quote
Turkish Biometric passports (Turkish: Biyometrik pasaport), compatible with the new ICAO standards, have been available since 1 June 2010


Title: Re: UBIC: The crypto currency providing UBI for the masses using the E-Passport
Post by: ubicorn on February 26, 2018, 07:57:58 AM
@vuppie0 so it certainly is. However the DSCs(Document Signing Certificates) still needs to be published on the ICAO PKD web site to be used in UBIC.

information about the project is not clear
and hard to understand

how will investors be interested because there is no information that is less clear?

Post by: ubicorn on February 26, 2018, 08:05:59 AM
@regarcigar I understand that the details are not that easy to understand because it goes very technical, less technical descriptions will be released later.
We are also still working on the Windows wallet which will be released during the next days so that less technical people can join.

1.58 is too old, 1.6x is required.
Can you try to install a newer version from the sources?

This will install 1.64:
Code:
cd /usr/local/src
sudo wget https://dl.bintray.com/boostorg/release/1.64.0/source/boost_1_64_0.tar.gz && sudo tar xzvf boost_1_64_0.tar.gz && cd boost_1_64_0

./b2 install

./bootstrap.sh --prefix=/usr/local --with-libraries=all
./b2 install

I installed from the sources it and it solved my problem, one thing however is that I had to run sudo ./b2 install , otherwise I would get permission errors.
It solved my previous problem but now I am getting another error when running /etc/init.d/ubic start

I found the solution:

sudo cp /usr/local/lib/libssl.so.1.1 /usr/lib

this solved it in my case, and everything is running now.  :D

Sadly I found a serious error in the code and because very few people seem to use UBIC as of today I will stop minting and restart with a new genesis block in the next days.

Update: Luckily the problem was fixed without the need of starting again from the genesis.

In order to update your node regarding the previous statement delete old UBIC files:
Quote
/etc/init.d/ubic stop
sudo rm -rf /var/ubic
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/src/core

Then run the installation again:

Post by: ubicorn on March 05, 2018, 10:44:14 AM
For every API call you need to send the "apiKey" as header parameter.
The API calls are handled in REST/ApiServer.cpp with the method std::string ApiServer::route(std::vector<std::string> urlParts, std::string jsonPost)
I'll add some documentation soon.

Would you mind to elaborate the math behind the different yearly crypto ubi emission rates? Thank you!
The emission rate depends on the country population so that if the entire population of a country joins every citizen would get ~0.1 units a month or a total of ~1.2 units a year


Title: Re: [ANN] UBIC:The cryptocurrency providing UBI for the masses using the E-Passport
Post by: Ubiubi18 on April 25, 2018, 11:09:12 AM
Interesting, so if people within the next one or two years decide that it is time for change and that an "ubi" of 10 Dollar a month is fair and the market reflects that in fiat exchange rate of ubic, it would mean that in a scenario where just 0,1 % of your countrys population is using ubic at that time it would give each coin a value of already 10 Cent.

Good luck with the project, i ll follow it on github.

The use of NFC enabled chip passport of awesome ideas, yet it might also be a big no no, since details and information or identity of an investor might be at risk if the system gets compromise. what are your plans about this matter?

There are no personal information published on the blockchain, in the current and future core implementation no personal information are extracted from the passport. Only the digital signature, the signed hash as well as the Document signing certificate are recovered.
What will be published on the Blockchain is:
 - The hash (checksum) of the chip content (name, lastname, passport number, jpeg picture of your face...)
 - The hash of the document signing certificate
 - A non-transferable proof of signature knowledge, not the signature itself

As a consequence only a government can know what UBI address belongs to who.
Non-UBI receiving remain completely anonymous.

There are no personal information published on the blockchain, in the current and future core implementation no personal information are extracted from the passport. Only the digital signature, the signed hash as well as the Document signing certificate are recovered.
What will be published on the Blockchain is:
 - The hash (checksum) of the chip content (name, lastname, passport number, jpeg picture of your face...)
 - The hash of the document signing certificate
 - A non-transferable proof of signature knowledge, not the signature itself

As a consequence only a government can know what UBI address belongs to who.
Non-UBI receiving remain completely anonymous.

How will people know that more information is not read off the chip than what is necessary? Do people have a guarantee that you will not ready any PI data? With GDPR imminent this becomes a very important discussion.

So the goal of UBIC is replacing the old version of passport that still has many security issues.
By providing more secure system on the passport, that will give extra protection for everyone and minimize the possibilities of a fakes passport.

It uses the E-passport to distribute a UBI and defeat a sybil attack. E-passports are very secure!

Using the Document Signing Certificate, they are associated to a country.
You can also not register the same passport multiple times because the signed hash that is published is unique identifier.

there is this app ReadID-NFC passport reader. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nl.innovalor.nfciddocshowcase.
I tried it and read the data on my passport chip. There is a lot of data. I can see on the block explorer only one passport registered. And honestly I was too scared to scan passport chip data in an online regime, I think the idea of this project to use nfc passport chip data is excellent. However, I would feel more secure to generate from the passport chip data the required key or seed in an offline mode.  Then enter it to create my unique UBIC wallet. Hope there is a way.

Depending on if your passport uses ECDSA or RSA and the key length the non-transferable proof of signature knowledge can vary from 0.2kb to 4kb. I can add a functionality to allow you to copy the base64 encoded transaction and then to broadcast it on the network using a connected node.

You can also take a look at how the code works, although I agree that it would take a lot of time to read it all.
Here is the most important part: https://github.com/UBIC-repo/core/blob/85993a7bfc31803a37f171d4f0657cfab8c3eb32/JSON/Api.cpp#L631

Bellow is the simplified code with explanations:

Code:
std::string Api::readPassport(std::string json) {

[...]

    if(reader->initConnection(bacKeys, sessionKeys)) // open connection with the passport through NFC
    {
        unsigned char fileId[3] = {'\x01', '\x1D', '\0'}; // EF.SOD file identifier

        if(!reader->readFile(fileId, file, &fileSize, sessionKeys)) { // reading out the SOD file (digitally signed file to verify the authenticity of the passport)
            reader->close();
            return "{\"success\": false, \"error\" : \"failed to read SOD file\"}";
        }
        reader->close();

[...]

        ldsParser->getTag((unsigned char*)"\x77")
                ->getContent(sod, &sodSize); // the SOD file is a ASN1 encoded file containing another PKCS7 file. We get this file here
[...]

        PKCS7Parser* pkcs7Parser = new PKCS7Parser((char*)sod, sodSize); // Parsing the PKCS7 file to extract the Document Signing Certificate, the signed hash and the digital signature
[...]

        Address randomWalletAddress = wallet.getRandomAddressFromWallet(); // get a random address from our wallet, this address will receive the UBI

        if(pkcs7Parser->isRSA()) { // if the parsed PKCS7 file contained a RSA certificate
[...]

            NtpRskSignatureVerificationObject *ntpRskSignatureVerificationObject = NtpRsk::signWithNtpRsk(
                    ntpRskSignatureRequestObject
            );

            CDataStream sntpRsk(SER_DISK, 1);
            sntpRsk << *ntpRskSignatureVerificationObject; // serialize the object

            Log(LOG_LEVEL_INFO) << "generated NtpRsk: " << sntpRsk;
            pIScript->setScript((unsigned char *) sntpRsk.data(), (uint16_t) sntpRsk.size());

            pTxIn->setScript(*pIScript); // set the non-transferable proof of signature knowledge as transaction input

        } else {
            // similar to as with RSA but for ECDSA
            [...]
        }

        [...]

        if(txPool.appendTransaction(*registerPassportTx)) { // Broadcast the transaction on the network
            Network &network = Network::Instance();
            network.broadCastTransaction(*registerPassportTx);
            return "{\"success\": true}";
        }

    [...]

}

To register your passport you need to connect a usb NFC reader to your computer.
I'll write you as soon a mobile app is ready, I already got in touch with some people that are interested in doing it.

You'll find most answers in the whitepaper: https://github.com/UBIC-repo/Whitepaper

But summarize
Quote
What is the purpose of creating a UBIC token
UBIC aims to distribute coins following universal basic income principles.
Instead of rewarding coins proportionally to your computing power every citizen of one of the supported countries will be rewarded with tokens just for being a human being and being part of the UBIC network.

Quote
What specific tasks will your tokens solve
It aims to solve the distribution problems resulting from POW and POS. It also solve a security issue called sybil attack and has possible KYC and E-Voting applications.


Quote
What is the value of the UBIC token?
The value of a token depends on the size of it's network effect.
Because participants that have registered their passports are rewarded with a UBI, the incentive to join UBIC as a user can be higher than with other cryptocurrencies.
This will hopefully result in a great network effect

Quote
What is the maximum number of issued UBIC tokens
Unlike Bitcoin UBIC has no cap. The amounts you saw in the first post are static and will be issued every year.
The real number of coins in circulation will however be lower as all transaction fees are burned to limit inflation.

Quote
When you plan to go to the exchange
I can not give any ETA

Quote
how much does the 1 UBIC token?
I didn't understood this part

The seed of your private keys location is: ~/ubic/wallet.dat
This is the only file you need to backup, it's 33 bytes in size.
Currently there is no way to recover your private keys or seed from your passport, once the seed is gone your coins are too.

I will think about it. The KYC and E-Voting protocols could indeed deserve their own whitepaper.
What I currently have in mind regarding KYC is the following procedure:
 - Using his smartphone the user scans a QR code that contains a URL + a challenge + a flag that indicates what data are needed.
 - The user sees the domain where the information will be send and what will be send.
 - The user scans the NFC chip of his passport again.
 - The information are send to the URL given in the QR code.
 - The UBIC core software is used to verify the KYC request.

From a more technical perspective:
 - When registering your passport to get a UBI reward you publish your UBIC address, the signed hash of the passport and a non-transferable proof of signature for the signature on the passport hash.
 - The signed hash is in fact the hash of the hashes for every "file" contained on the passport.
 - There are 2 relevant "files" DG1 (the MRZ containing almost all written information) and DG2 (containing the facial image)
 - So there could be 3 authentication modes:
   - Anonymous (is used on the UBIC blockchain), it doesn't reveal any personal information.
   - written information (Passport number, date of birth, date of expiry, document type, first name, last name).
   - Facial image
- The verification is done by verifying that the hash of the personal information (DG1 or DG2) match with the signed passport hash. From there it is straightforward to verify that this signed hash match with the one of the UBI receiving address.

There are many projects that want to provide KYC solutions. The two projects I have heard of are uPort and Civic, they are both relying on "identity validators", according to them those validators can be banks or other institutions.
I could imagine that UBIC could also become a validator in their system. What do you think?

these are good ideas, thank you for sharing them!

How do you imagine the utility token in context of KYC and voting? Does the KYC-Request burns a certain amount of tokens? For example your relative share of UBIC that you recieved within the last 100 Blocks?

Yes, UBIC could give a cool validator for a lot of projects. I wonder how people opposing the idea of basic income would react when they realize that they actually get payed for using ubic for KYC instead of having to pay.

KYC and e-voting don't have to necesserly take place on the blockchain. The blockchain is only required to verify that public key X is indeed a unique individual.
So there is no need to pay for these services.

I added a new endpoint /fees it will return you something like this:
Code:
{
    "description": "Fees for 1MB (1000 bytes)",
    "fees": {
        "1": "19400000",
        "2": "191400000",
        "3": "20200000",
        "4": "151900000",
        "5": "11000000",
        "6": "747900000",
        "7": "55600000",
        "8": "3192100000",
        "9": "22900000",
        "10": "155500000",
        "11": "84000000",
        "12": "294000000",
        "13": "155100000",
        "14": "10600000",
        "15": "21500000",
        "16": "12700000",
        "17": "1000000",
        "18": "13000000",
        "19": "22700000",
        "20": "24500000",
        "21": "73600000",
        "22": "104200000",
        "23": "3200000",
        "24": "100000",
        "25": "100000"
    }
}

The numbers represent a currency by it's ID. The values are the fees for 1MB and expressed in base units.
So to get the fee per byte you have to calculate Value / (1000 * 1000000).

I am also trying to integrate a KYC endpoint but this will take a little bit more.

My thougths today:
 - The development of a thin/lightweight client should be considered
 - There could be a new unit called UBI day. This unit would be the amount of UBI a recipient received during the last 24 hours.
   I think that this unit makes it much easier to represent value. You would have prices like coffee: 1 UBI day, piece of cake: 2 UBI days... and so on.

Your idea could indeed circumvent some missunderstandings and would make it easier to set transparent prices with ubic?

I am so curious if people will accept (and comprehend) the relative value relations of unit count to participant count.

Unfortunately it didn't gained as much attention as I hoped for. Probably it is something too new for people to fully understand how it works and so they are distrustful.
I guess the best thing would be to organize an airdrop so people would download the app to get an address.

Shit happens!
I did a mistake when I published the document signing certificates, the script that converted the certificate iso2 country code to the UBIC currency code was buggy.
For some DSC certificates it didn't returned the correct currency code, but 0.
Currency 0 is unassigned and therefor will not be displayed in the wallet balance and not receive any UBI.
About two hours earlier someone from Australia registered his/her passport and because of the bug is not receiving a UBI.

The good news is that there is a clean way to fix it and I will implement it ASAP.
The fix will unfortunately require a node upgrade.

Is there some security issue that makes some of those PKDParticipants  infeasible for ubic?

Here are the reasons why they are not all supported by UBIC:
 - The non-transferable proof of knowledge for RSA certificates requires a big enough RSA exponent, 65537 or more.
(example: Hong Kong uses 3 as RSA exponent)

- The document signing certificates have a too long signing period. This means that UBIC doesn't know when the passport was issued and therefor doesn't know when it will expire.
(example: Argentinia, Brazil: more than 2 years signing period)

- Some countries only publish their country signing certificates but UBIC needs the document signing certificates too.
(example: Spain, Belgium, Netherlands)

It will probably change in the next years. Using 3 as RSA exponent has been proven to be less secure than 65537 and the ICAO DOC9303 recommends document signing certificates with a signing period of less than 3 months. So the countries listed in the examples above are definitely not following the best practices.

I think there is a window of opportunity for ubic to grow on that unique selling point of possible decentralized kyc, until self sovereign identity (build on many components) and other validators go mainstream and bring in more competition in decentralized kyc.

we know now that most people fear scanning their passport chip - most likely because they doubt the security of their private data on blockchain. It doesnt help much when cryptography experts are impressed and mindblown by ubic as long as "normal" people dont see a need to adopt it.
introducing a kyc-functionality to the app will boost ubics participants number, because it creates a usecase, value. A lot of people share their data via kyc allready with strangers - the automated ubic process would give projects as well as participants a much faster, better and more secure alternative to manual kyc.

Indeed it would be very advantageous if UBIC could become a KYC oracle for other projects.
For example it would be very useful if you could use UBIC to very easily subscribe to other cryptoUBIs or airdrops.

Another blasphemic idea: if it is possible to run all those different passport currencys on top of ubic blockchain, wouldnt it be also possible to run one additional "sans papiers" ubic currency on that blockchain too, low level security just with for example recaptcha / email /( mobile, but that costs something)? You can use the wallet and trade ubic without having to register passport, right? We know that Sybil Attacker can fake thousands of accounts and try to harvest such a currency, they would most likely do. But what if that nonsafe currency trades free against passport currency anyway? Wouldnt it have a free market value higher than zero just for engaging new people without passports or for engaging people who care extremly for their anonymity, by a faktor x lower, but still with value because it gives you a sense of beeing part of something? And you can still level up to real passport (and probably faktor X0.000 higher ubi) if you like?

I had in mind the idea of creating a hybrid solution that would combine a web of trust with the use of the current E-Passport approach.
Under this scheme every E-passport holder would be able to certify 3 other people. If someone gets 5 certifications he would get a UBI too.

Title: Re: [ANN] UBIC:The cryptocurrency providing UBI for the masses using the E-Passport
Post by: ubicorn on October 12, 2018, 09:08:59 AM
The KYC functionality is now working. To verify someone, a website creates a challenge, something like "www.utopia.org/?kyc-request=1462517"
The user then scans his passport and generates a base64 encoded identity proof for this challenge. As said previously there a re 3 modes: anonymous, with written information and with facial image.

When the base64 encoded proof is sent to the /ubi/verify-kyc endpoint, the output would be like this one:
Code:

I did digg once more into anti sybil projects and it is fascinating that there seems to be still no other competitor yet providing a automated and/or decentralizable solution for sybil resistance beside maybe duniter. I think brightID will face slow growth too for different reasons, it is unlikely that everyone convinces their real peergroup to join at the beginning and local seedgroups may be only at a close distance attractive to join. As long as web of trust doesnt grow into mainstream something like kyc with government IDs seems to be initially needed as kickstart nearly everywhere.

I am currently working on implementing the KYC functionality to the android app and it would be very useful to have am API endpoint that for a given passport hash returns if it already receives UBI or not.

i like "Unique Blockchain Identity Currency" :)

However I think that we should speed up because we now have some direct competitors. Take a look at https://q.org they are planing to use the E-Passport too.
Quote from q.org:
Quote
PROOF OF PERSON
E-passports
RFID-chipped travel passports are the most widely circulated document in the world. Adoption rates became especially high in recent years. The USA is near 50%, and European countries are near 70-80% or higher. Worldwide, RFID-chipped passports are in the vicinity of 1 billion.
RFID-chipped passports support NFC (Near Field Communication). This allows us to create a Proof Of Person by verifying the passport authenticity with the signing authority. Through a mobile phone app, this can be done in a user friendly way and without anyone needing to receive your passport details, ensuring your privacy.
To prevent passport abuse by third parties, we can add an additional decentralized video verification system. This will ensure that the person in possession of the passport matches the passport picture.
They intend to launch in 2019, there are no information about who is behind the project.

I released V0.2.0 please upgrade your nodes

Quote
After block 85000 there will be a protocol upgrade that will affect the register passport transactions.
Two new fields were added (uint16_t)mdAlg and (std::vector) signedPayload.

    (uint16_t)mdAlg hash algorithm used to digitally sign passport data.
    (std::vector) signedPayload is an ASN1 Object containing no personal information but it may contain a field called signingTime(timestamp from when the Gov. issued the chip) that could be very interesting for future usages.

V0.2.0 clients are incompatible with V0.1.x clients.

correct me if i am wrong but i guess your going to create that ios13-NFC-passport-reader as standalone-app first because you can do it and such a thing doesnt exist yet - without ubic in mind but open for everyone?

that kind of app might probably have a exponential higher userbase, i imagine 1.000+ or even 10.000+ downloads within few month after release, no matter that a few dozend competitors will produce similar apps as well.

What if you link ubic directly or build-in a link into that app to a webspace where people can find and discuss all known applications that use NFC-E-Passports at that time? That would for sure be the brexit-app in the first place, but could as well link to UBIC - and content could be build out continously?

I imagine a opinion poll on top of UBIC, where people can pseudonymously cast a reliable vote for example on future presidental candidates - or on the question: brexit yes or no.

It would create for the first time reliable internet polls - those on top of ubic cant be tricked that easy using bots or fake identity - and cant be faked by the instance itself that started the internet poll question in the first place.

People just need to register to ubic and every casted vote is expressed in a tiny transaction to a burning address, which is read out by the app as a vote for or against something, whatever question was asked.

Regarding anonymity against the state: people wont care too much about it if it comes to topics like brexit or presidency.

what about Passports from Brazil, Russia, India, Korea, Argentinia, Nigeria? I guess they all have likely less secure standards no matter that they are PKD-Participants?... What if you introduce currencies for each of them anyway, on the condition that their registered passports get only ubi when  ubic-participants holding secure passports validate and trust those registered accounts manually? Validation could mean approving how long those documents are legit and approving that the person on the passports picture was in private contact with them? So a participant for example from Russia would have a harder time to join and would have to ask for private validation and more intrusive private KYC in a telegram-chanel or discord-chanel, and would receive only UBIC when s/he is trusted by a legit UBIC-account (holding a passport of the current 28 allowed Countries). Trust could be limited to a few or even just one trust-connection each legit UBIC-Participant so that noone is able to trust multiple sybils.

Something like that could open up UBIC to a lot of additional participants?


Title: Re: [ANN] UBIC:The cryptocurrency providing UBI for the masses using the E-Passport

So 5 Certifications neccessary for a "sans papers"-Account, but only 1 or two Certifications neccessary for a less secure but still legit E-Passport-Account. I love that idea ;)

 
I released version 0.1.8 and I highly recommend to upgrade to this version.

i did update my node yesterday. most respect for your work!

Another blasphemic idea: if it is possible to run all those different passport currencys on top of ubic blockchain, wouldnt it be also possible to run one additional "sans papiers" ubic currency on that blockchain too, low level security just with for example recaptcha / email /( mobile, but that costs something)? You can use the wallet and trade ubic without having to register passport, right? We know that Sybil Attacker can fake thousands of accounts and try to harvest such a currency, they would most likely do. But what if that nonsafe currency trades free against passport currency anyway? Wouldnt it have a free market value higher than zero just for engaging new people without passports or for engaging people who care extremly for their anonymity, by a faktor x lower, but still with value because it gives you a sense of beeing part of something? And you can still level up to real passport (and probably faktor X0.000 higher ubi) if you like?

I had in mind the idea of creating a hybrid solution that would combine a web of trust with the use of the current E-Passport approach.
Under this scheme every E-passport holder would be able to certify 3 other people. If someone gets 5 certifications he would get a UBI too.

Theoretically, all passports that follow the ICAO DOC 9303 standard and it's recommendations can join UBIC.
It is just that the implementation is moving forward slowly in some countries and some haven't done it right yet. This year we were able to add Iceland, Hong Kong and Spain and I expect that by 2030 a large majority of countries will be UBIC compatible. There are also a lot of other tasks that need to be done in the core and have a higher priority.
One of them is to get the voting done so that it will become possible to elect validator nodes. This will make UBIC truely decentralized which it isn't yet.


Title: Re: [ANN] UBIC:The cryptocurrency providing UBI for the masses using the E-Passport
Post by: ubicorn on December 31, 2019, 04:35:23 AM
We have kind of a problem. I checked the https://download.pkd.icao.int/ website for the latest DSC (Document Signing Certificate ) and it seems that at least Germany and Austria are not publishing theirs anymore, or they are both very late with their release.

The good news is that there is a workaround, the DSC is always present on the NFC chip of the E-Passport and can therefor be extracted from there. From now on when a user is posting it's passport registration transaction it will include the DSC certificate from the passport.

This is a lot of work and this is why I haven't done it yet, but once implemented it will provide a lot of advantages and no more waiting times to register on UBIC when you just got your passport issued.

Also accepting DSCs from user input is not a security threat as each DSC is signed by the Country Signing Authority and therefor it is not possible to forge one.

Yes, but I cannot check if their DSC certificates are compatible without having seen one before.
But it is a good thing not to be dependent on one single website anymore.
The CSCA Masterlists unlike the DSC certificates are available from several sources including:

Please make sure you only download the mobile wallets from reputable sources such as the Play Store (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=network.ubic.ubic) or the App Store (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/ubic-wallet/id1494645002)

Then maybe you could also add the Turkish passport to the list?

According to Wikipedia:

Quote
Turkish Biometric passports (Turkish: Biyometrik pasaport), compatible with the new ICAO standards, have been available since 1 June 2010

Turkish Biometric passports are now supported.

If nobody else volunteers I will do an installation video.
This is a very good welfare project. As long as you have a passport, you can mine and save your private key. It is also the simplest blockchain project in the world.
