I can’t see how that would ever work.

What if I lose my token? How do I get a new one? Does the old one stop working?

If the old one stops working when I get a new one, then neither was ever anonymous.

If the old one works forever even after I get a new one, then there will be a booming black market for fake IDs.

I should have mentioned that these tokens are one time only.
