Nashville goals next week:
- Meet with and learn from everyone there about manifesting businesses that deliver heat from mining
- Find the right role at a company that wants to advance Decentralized Identity in the United States
About mining: geraldglickman.com/mining
Let’s build businesses that use Bitcoin mining heat!
There is so much to talk about here, but my goal is conduct a comprehensive and OPEN survey (data will be shared) of top potential use cases for leveraging the heat from Bitcoin mining.
About Identity:
Let's build a world where individuals control the use of their identity!
My 10 years in fraud and identity risk have shown me that we must collectively and urgently work to enable a new paradigm of digital identity in the US.
Will you be in Nashville next week for the conference? I'd love to speak with you about either of these topics if they are of interest to you or your business 🤝

Everyone should reject this kind of stuff in principle.
"By interpreting facial expressions and other non-verbal cues, the system can identify passengers who may be distressed or agitated, potentially allowing officers to preempt conflicts or emergencies."
You're almost there. DIDs, when paired with VCs, are what unlock a new paradigm of identity.
Yes, agree, ty. The goal (and current gap in this space, IMHO), is around your last point and deriving an open trust model / framework that would enable others to make similar (if not the same) "verified" attestations about other DIDs.
I personally think this is a novel concept (putting the entire DID Doc on-chain), and I'm confused why people are shitting on it. Many are quick to espouse anti-kyc blah blah (and they're not wrong), but at the same time identity is broken and we need to find a way forward. DIDs and VCs are the obvious answer, and will return consent and sovereignty to individuals when it comes to the storage and utilization of their PII.
First 4 paragraphs are spot on.
I disagree with the last one. The point of anchoring the DID and the DID Document on-chain is that there are no other external dependencies.

That's what I am saying. Microstrategy has to sign the DID to attest for it. Anyone can create DIDs.
The anchor is the DID itself, no? Attestations relating to KYC should come in the form of a Verifiable Credential that are controlled / issued to that DID (hopefully) as opposed to a simple signed message by a DID relating to some other entity.
Saylor is trying to create a trust anchor. But since anyone can create their own DID:BTC without Microstrategy's approval (lots of spam), the anchor must be Microstrategy's KYC platform.
Microstrategy will have select DID:BTCs they have approved and probably KYCed to receive the Orange check. This means, Orange check verifiers must not only check the DID Document but verify if the DID itself was signed by Microstrategy's master key.
Like nostr:nprofile1qythwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnwdaehgu3wvfskuep0qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hj7qgawaehxw309ahx7um5wghx6at5d9h8jampd3kx2apwvdhk6tcqyqzvj9w6alhrsvtl5u6ygjkwuwg2sf5lukqskgjpuhnd6dpal0kvjr7awa6 would say: ORANGE CHECKS ARE JUST BLUE CHECKS FROM A DIFFERENT COMPANY.
No, you're combining the notion of a DID and a Verifiable Credential. A DID by itself proves / attests nothing. A DID is not KYC. Lots of misunderstanding here.
Do you normally expect people to engage with you when you lead with "perhaps you're retarded?" 🤦
Gotcha. What's lame about the approach?
Kinda. But who runs the relays?
Lame identity thing? 🤦 Never had your identity stolen, huh Trey?
No need for did:btc. See:

Who controls DNS?
It's pretty different than Ion in that it stores the DID Document directly on-chain, so ofc it's less "efficient".
As for the broader sentiment, agree to disagree 🤝
Le Sigh.
Please understand that your inability to accept reality is the source of all pain.
You do not have to agree or like it, but you must accept what is. Only after accepting reality are you in a reasonable position to derive and execute a worthwhile plan. Game on!

I just realized I was feeling unsettled the other day, took me a minute to realize the remedy - it had been a full 18 months since I listened to In Rainbows.
1 hour later, felt refreshed and reset.
