    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.
