Come to realize one of the reasons people don't get DIDs, is they think they're just glorified pubkeys, or they're glorified decentralized Apple Wallets. This is just a wrong mental model.

The way to think about what DIDs and Verifiable Credentials from an engineering and application developer perspective, is to view them as a wholesale replacement for DNS and Certificate Authorities. They decentralize away from ICANN.

They are a new universal identity layer for the internet. But because they are open an extensible protocols, we can do everything from validate that website is legitimately owned by a company or individual. Or they can be used to model a driver's license, where a government agency issues the credential. The protocol doesn't care.

I think people who think they're "too complex" and add nothing that pubkeys don't, haven't thought too deeply about the totality of problem of identity on the internet, and are likely taking DNS (a highly centralized form of identity) for granted. When they probably shouldn't.

Also I just want to point out I’ve been in this market since 2015. Got in before that 2017 run. I could have been in 3 years early but that’s a story that makes me cry. Anyway I’ve been through prob 4 85-90% drawdowns. Multiple 50%. And everyone knows how the story goes. What I’ve noticed is whoever there is a piece of dud like silver gate and the you Google bitcoin news all you see is more and more did like everyone is piling on top of the fud. When you see that what it tells me the media is either being controlled which is prob the case and being told what to right. It’s so sick how politics work in this country and if you have not you have to watch house of cards on Netflix. It really opens your eyes to all the bullshit that goes on behind the scenes. Bitcoin is going to have a hard ride up. I mean you hear of all these billionaires and millionaires buying bitcoin and you know there not buying 5 coins. There biying from 100,000 to 1,000 and when you hear that plus minus satoshi a coins plus minus all the coins lost in early days plus all of us and emended this is world wide the liquidity just makes sense that it needs to be at a all time low and price should reflect that. Hash is ath. Users ath. Lighting ath. Miners ath. Like wtf is going on. I’m starting to feel like we need a run up to like 35-40k and get some faith back in people and we really need a lot of small people getting in and need some heavy duty purchases. But from where I’m sittting this coming is being fucked with. Combined with media Fucking around we also have derivatives. Now I think this is hands down the main reason we are down. You get 10 of the top 100 wallets to short the coin perfor expirey the price will tank and then they just buy in cheaper. And if close to expiry price is not wear they want they dump 10,000 of thousands of coins and then just repurchase when it’s 2k less and make even more coin. I’m sure this happens on Wall Street as with anything there’s always going to be whales but I’m shocked we don’t have it where we can spend our bitcoin anywhere. When I got in I said by 2020 a lot of people will be using bitcoin everyday. We are being f’ed with and it aucks. I wonder what you guys think??

Why worst?

Now that’s a bit awkward if your AI is the only one not advancing on an S-Curve.

Who else has gold plated tungsten?

Probably depends on your use case.

We use strfry and it’s very fast but lacks features and documentation compared to other implementations. I’d say it’s in earlier development than some of the others but makes superb design choices.

Thanks to our local CR expert, we found a magical gem in the middle of the city for dinner. Thanks #[0]​ !

I will eventually make a live status page for filter.nostr.wine so you can always check in real time which relays are up/down from our public relay list.

I’ve been meaning to get around to that.

Surprised he didn’t blame Nostr!
