If it's a rolling cert with rate limits I think that solves the problem, particularly if access to the client cert allows the client to make a financial transaction, e.g. of $100. So you wouldn't share the client cert with randoms because they would just take your $100 and you'd be blocked.

Finally, a way to use blockchain for good.

This scheme does coincidentally introduce the ability to pay for things anonymously using porno tokens, part of a government mandated crypto currency.
So your bank says sorry, only 3 porns a day for you?
Where did you read that? Not in my post.
What rate limit would you use?
Maybe 256 authentications a day.
So only 256 porns a day for you. If you access a 257th porn site, your bank will know about it!
Why would my bank know about it?
