So yes, they get your identity, then promise to forget it.

That's a worst of both worlds proposal: it makes it trivial to deanonymise people, and it doesn't solve the replay attacks.

They ask for ID card indeed, making it super easy to just make a copy. On top of that, your payment details are stored. You're on camera. Etc.

Super easy to automate deanonymization. (1).
