please boost if you're in nyc

If you keep engaging with trolls, eventually you'll wind up marrying

Don't get engaged

i always require proof of work and posk for anonymous connections to my (pre-nostr) relays. all that required a socket. for auth comnections, a hash or token in the header is probably fine

The Federal Reserve System was created by bankers for bankers. It was meant to make the rich richer and the poor poorer. That people believe anything else about it is a superlative example of the power of propaganda.

those are all the things I need

useless

nostr: the chaos is real

did is w3c design by committee crap

dids are a bad idea

exactly

and it's possible to create something of an identity-based system as well where you can publish an event with a set of structured claims

then anybody can respond to that bet with a set of structured assertions

boom now you have a web of trust

All claims are public all assertions are public

If you don't want somebody to know something about your public key don't publish it on the internet

dids suck. they're overly complex and have a privacy model that's totally broken

it depends on people not leaking them

which of course they will and then the privacy is gone

All structured claims and certifications about a public key should be public or you shouldn't structure them

The entire system was authored without actually thinking about what people needed or wanted and instead it was authored with a series of intents instead of coming from industry coming from protocol designers

The proper way to build a protocol is to observe what's happening in the wild in the chaos of something like an NOSTR and then look what most people are doing and codify it so that new people coming on board can be compatible

indeed the embedding of proofs just makes dids broken, imo

The whole system is based on a premise of identity that isn't necessary for anyone in this ecosystem

I articulated precisely what was needed for a pki infrastructure. can you articulate in technical terms how DIDs and VCs satisfy that and only that?

But I have thought through the problem

and I've made concrete proposals to nostr

It's merely a set of signed structured claims and a set of signed structured certifications of those claims

and since every event is signed and is unique then we can not worry about the signatures and just use events to create structured claims and certifications of those claims

It's just an image link not a whole image
