DID = top down
Nostr = bottom up

PV 🤙⚡️⚡️
Someone can feel free to post this note on Twitter to stir the pot.
I won’t be doing it because I’m abstaining from the blue bird app and I have a packed schedule this evening involving hot pot eating and meme making.

I don’t even know much about DID but I am feeling freaky so I’ll be back with results

You my friend… are living right.
DIDs are bottom-up… they are stored as a hash within a single bitcoin transaction.
DIDs could replace .com domains with decentralized domains not controlled by corporations.
These decentralized domains (DIDs) will be controlled by your bitcoin private keys!
ION Verifiable Credentials (VCs) are an optional KYC component of DIDs that are more top-down, like you said.
Good news is you don’t need to make a VC to make a DID domain: VCs are entirely optional.
VCs are why DIDs get a bad wrap… DIDs alone, without VCs, are securely decentralized.⚡️
I think DIDs are super interesting, just not convinced nostr needs to adopt them 🤙
You’re in for a surprise! The Nostr 2.0 framework we’re working on will let Nostr nodes host decentralized websites, beyond hosting data for native apps like Damus.
We’ll need DIDs to function as decentralized domains to avoid corporately controlled domains. This is how our Nostr GitHub replacement will work. 💜
We’ve been working on the project since before #[3] started the bounty. His large bounty is exciting, but what we want most is to replace Web3 once and for all.
