I should be able to go to a convenience store, hand them hard cash after showing my id. And get a random credential that I can give websites.

This is how it works in Estonia?

Swap the convenience store for an app, and the ID for a digital cert, and ye basically!

What I like about the convenience store idea, is that the certification process is decentralized. An app wouldn’t be.

The store won’t keep a copy of your ID on a database to be inevitably hacked
