The submission contains highly exaggerated and unsubstantiated claims (e.g., claiming 'most people have used my product' and targeting 'everyone'). While combining digital identity on the Bitcoin protocol with AI-generated QR codes offers some conceptual novelty, the lack of verifiable traction, vague revenue metrics ('marketcap 500000'), and poor response quality regarding technologies used result in a very low PoU score. Verifiable evidence is necessary to establish credibility.
