multiple use of the same token on multiple accounts...?

tying multiple accounts and services together isn't ideal but its inarguably better than tying your real world identity to every single service.

Wait - so you're advocating for use of a persistent identifier tied to a person? How is that any different than what advertising networks do right now beyond giving them additional guaranteed information of your age bracket?

To clarify - it's not cryptographically necessary to present the same token for each and every transaction and serves to categorically defeat the entire privacy guarantee of ZKP.

It also makes it trivial to associate your ZKP token with your real identity.
