what’s to stop me from verifying people who aren’t me with them? I’ll hand out zero-knowledge proof tokens to anyone who asks if they can’t be traced back to me
I’m not the right person to ask, as I only really have a basic, cursory understanding of how they work… But if they can prevent anyone except me from spending my Monero, I imagine someone could figure it out.
They can’t stop you giving your Monero keys to someone else, and then they can spend it, too. You not wanting other people to spend your Monero is key to it working, and that doesn’t necessarily apply if, e.g. you’ve got family or close friends you’d be willing to have a shared wallet with.
Client side verification, that only shares the verification/proof thumbs up to the requestor, could work in such scenario. Very similar to digital payment cards such as seen in Apple Pay. You verify with your biometrics, anyone can only use it in that brief moment of time, but you cannot share that card. When paying, the device will only quickly check key details of that card to execute payment.

Client side verification is easy to bypass, so that doesn’t work for anything. You just send back a firmly response with a modified app or something
