This is way better than giving a human a long Bitcoin Cash address.
Neither an address or a 6 digit number will be remembered, as you've shown. You're always going to end up using a QR code (in physical world) or a URL (in digital world) with ID.
Any decentralized username system will need to deconflict conflicting human-chosen names.
CashAccounts absolutely achieves that, and works fine as far as that's concerned.
The fact that you're proposing external layers to deconflict human names proves it has not achieved that.
Web-of-trust reputation actually solves the deconflict issue without external dependencies. It will only improve as it scales with more data https://memo.cash/faq/what-is-reputation
I speak more about deconflicting handles in this talk starting @ 11:35
About 80% of crypto is just constant self-congratulation for being the only ones to solve something that literally the whole rest of the space has already solved 😅
WoT is great (imho). Member did a good implementation of it.
I heard you're planning to open source the Memo app. Perhaps one day the Member WoT could also benefit Memo users.
Memo cash site has had WoT support for 4 years. That's why there is no longer an issue with duplicate accounts. Rankings that Member added are cool, decentralized social credit scoring
One big reason I'm skeptical of "ASIC resistant" coins. I don't think any of them have been big enough to matter attacking yet, but I'm not confident if they ever are.

That's the whole point of XMR/RandomX! There are more CPUs than ASICs in the hands of ordinary people. ASICs are inherently centralizing. XMR *only* mines efficiently on consumer CPUs!
The irony is how much rap is about killing other people
Good point
Cool and useful, I would call it closer to a WoT since I can assign variable trust to accounts, it's not binary like a (relatively) simple computed metric based on follower counts.
The WoT described in 1992 was only about connections, it didn't say anything about variable rankings. But semantics...
