  • If the key is only held by the doe then how are you ever going to get that deposit? Bring your trash to them? If not then everyone needs to have access, which means no encryption. One could of course feasibly leave out who bought the thing. To prevent fraud though you would probably have to save what the thing is (otherwise someone will just produce trash in China with valid token IDs from the database just to get the deposit) and having a database of that is in it self a very bad thing for businesses at least. You don't want your competitors to know exactly how much you are selling, otherwise you will definitely get bought out at your lowest point.

    Maintaining such a database would be a nightmare too, and all that just to make sure the tokens do fall in value with inflation? I don't see the point really. Either fix the value for a couple of years, or let it rise through inflation that would incentivize the collection of old garbage at least.

  • Oh, no. I'm quite aware. The companies that can do it have a large enough effect in my life as it is. I really do not wish for scammers, random trolls, foreign government or home invader (tracking where you are based on purchases) to join them.

    Right now I can make it hard for the big players by using the right tools and services. This would make it completely impossible.

  • If you want to sell a product you would have to register that deposit in the database, similarly if you get it back you have to access the database to know how much to pay out. If you don't want to limit selling products to large businesses everyone needs access.

    Sure, consequences for littering are fun and all, but the passive surveillance that allows is terrifying imho.

  • And how exactly would you do that? One giant database of sales that everyone just has access to? Print it on the thing at time of sale? I can't see any trivial solution, I'd be interested in yours tho!

  • Even if it was scattered everywhere you would definitely have people pick it back up for the deposit. That works with bottles in Germany and the deposit for them gets as low as 8ct.

  • Because the deposit is tied to inflation. Older products might end up with way outdated deposits if you print the sum on the packaging, so it would have to be token based. The token is then inflation safe.

  • That would make having a mountain of long lived useless trash a solid inflation safe investment plan.

  • Don't worry, I did the same. Just assuming that legislature would be the same and all...

  • Idk about where you live, but "versuchter Totschlag" is very much a thing in Germany. Translates to attempted manslaughter and is in essence an extension to aggravated assault for cases where it should be obvious to the perpetrator, that their actions are significantly likely to cause death.

    Specifically kicking the head of a person who is already on the ground is one of the things that is basically guaranteed to get you charged with that .

  • That shouldn't be a setback of ten years, it should be an automatic attempted manslaughter charge and exclusion from any job that gives immediate power over strangers.

  • Yeah, profiting off of weapons and war in general should be illegal. Sadly it isn't. I wouldn't exempt the nation's so totally though, much foreign policy has been enacted to drive arms exports.
