@neumarcx @AlanMorrison Fwiw I'm out of the loop on this. Still haven't seen a use case for DIDs that I find personally compelling. It's very hard to do better than the DNS when you include the need for key recovery.
@sandhawke @neumarcx Main use case for DIDs is personal data protection. Self-sovereign identity is the term used in association with with DIDs. DIDs + on-device matching = > no need to share/duplicate correlable IDs: the most correlatable stuff stays on your phone and is just matched. /1
@AlanMorrison @neumarcx Can you give me a very simple and entirely concrete use case? Alice walks into a bar and using DIDs, something good happens. What is a specific tangible harm Alice avoids by using DIDs?
@sandhawke @neumarcx >What is a specific tangible harm Alice avoids by using DIDs? Identity theft due to proliferation of correlatable identifiers such as SSNs, driver's license nos., phone nos.... No need to share such nos. See explanations and case studies just posted here: x.com/alanmorrison/s…
@AlanMorrison @neumarcx Yeah, I still don't see the advantage over clean use of https URLs, but since that's also currently not done, .... carry on. I'm betting https URLs will win eventually.
