Even better, let's get rid of names as identifiers. We all know names are problematic.

We could use government-issued tokens, maybe on a government-run blockchain.

And we could use the same for our personal (corporate) selves, such that all of our economic interactions were moderated through a government-run identity blockchain.

I want the mark on my forehead please, not the wrist, so I can pay by bowing my head to the money-god instead of just laying my wrist on the sensor.

What could possibly go wrong?

A database of businesses already exists.

Businesses usually have domain names just like they have physical addresses.

If the database were to include the domain names we could make automatic checks to give the user more assurances.

Your reply is mind boggling and totally foreign to the topic.

What database are you referring to? Is there an international database for all businesses registered in every single country that everyone universally signs up for when they incorporate?

Every nation has its own. Nations that want to make their citizens safer when surfing the web could open up a standard API to make such automated queries
