I would need to read the product spec to be sure on this, however in the absence of the details, I would expect he would do something similar to Peter Todds Open Time Stamps project. ie use a single on-chain transaction to consolidate many multiples of DID information. A bit like transaction batching.
In that way, the layer-1 footprint of the project would be very insignificant.
That may be so, but why is he attempting to solve this problem using Bitcoin? Everyday now, I see Bitcoin being used for something other than it's original usecase.
Now I'm a layperson, not a coder, so forgive me if the subtle nuances escape me, but this begs the question : 'Is Bitcoin deviating from it's original mission?'
It's the ownly truly decentralised digital infastructure that we have.
If he was to build it on Ethereum and claim that it was decentralised, he would have been just as well to have Klaus Schwab code him something up, instead.
I think there's a paralell here with the argument around Bitcoins energy use...
Most bitcoiners make the case that using all of the electricity is worth it, because of the benefits truely hard money confers on society.
Equally, most bitcoiners make the case that 1 decentralised blockchain is enough.
By the same token, if the world is to have decentralised identity [and we can debate this, as a seperate issue], then perhaps the cost of a transaction or two, per block, is worth it....
Appreciate your insight btw, just to be explicitly amicable.
