Mycelium: A protocol spec to replace the Web – feedback welcome

Mycelium은 기존 웹의 한계를 극복하고 소유권, 자유, 진실, 평등의 원칙을 기반으로 한 새로운 네트워크 프로토콜 사양을 제안한다. 이 프로토콜은 6개의 독립적이고 개방된 계층으로 구성되며, 신원, 데이터 소유권, 검증 가능한 컴퓨팅, 경제적 인센티브, AI 기반 인터페이스를 포함한다. Mycelium은 중앙화된 플랫폼과 기업 통제에서 벗어나 사용자 주도의 탈중앙화 네트워크를 목표로 하며, 참여자들이 노드를 운영하고 수익을 창출할 수 있도록 설계되었다. 현재 기술 백서와 프로토콜 사양 공개를 앞두고 커뮤니티 참여를 독려하고 있다.

Wrote a new post exploring three ideas I keep coming back to: local-first software, user-controlled personalization, and decentralization as a way to avoid single points of failure.

The short version:
→ Your data should live on your device first, not on someone else's server
→ Personalization should mean you owning your identity, not an algorithm profiling you
→ Decentralization isn't about hype — it's the same principle behind email and P2P networks

I tried to keep it grounded and skip the buzzwords. If you're building in this space or just thinking about where software is heading, I'd appreciate your thoughts.

New #NGISargassoInnovator announcement: DIDSSI – #Blockchain-based Decentralized and #SelfSovereignIdentity! 🚀

The project builds the foundation of a trusted blockchain-based distributed system for decentralized identities (DIDs) and self-sovereign identities (SSIs), initially focused on Europe-USA student exchange programs.

By Gheorghe Asachi​ Technical University of Iași 🇷🇴 & University of Maryland Baltimore County 🇺🇸

"""
[...] the fake passport generated using ChatGPT-4o successfully bypassed basic KYC checks used by fintech platforms like Revolut and Binance, which depend on photo ID uploads and user selfies. Musielak warned of the rising threat of mass identity theft, fraudulent credit applications, and fake account creation, which are now more scalable with generative AI.
"""

Looks like we need to accelerate the change to SSI.
