@ntnsndr just discovered it today - because a recruiter contacted me about it. I think public blockchain is a good way to manage a user registry although there are several DID experiments going on already - sounds like @okay_nick knows way more about this than me. However anything to do with blockchain presents a huge hurdle to many users especially when it comes to spending $ to use it.

@enmodo @okay_nick I signed up with no gas fees on my side, at least.

@ntnsndr @okay_nick interesting. Admittedly I didn't try it yet - perhaps they are paying people's gas fees at this time? That obviously doesn't scale to millions of users but with VC money fine for thousands (and at least ETH fees are way down now since the merge). Not that there aren't other blockchains that are almost free that could be used - and if it gets big enough they could have their own chain of Cosmos or something. I'll check it out.
