@darius Anyways, in the end, excluding the blockchain junk (I'm not gonna pay a cryptocurrency speculator in order to prove my own identity!), if the DID format does take off it's almost certainly going to be because a significant number of people get identities through a small number of big identity providers. :/

@kepstin that's kinda how it always is with protocols though right?

@darius yep, i suppose so

the big problem i see with DID as it stands right now is that there's no generic protocol/resolver for these theoretical large identity providers to use - the current spec would probably have each provider end up creating their own incompatible DID method, and different resolvers would support different subsets of methods. It's a big mess.
