We are entering an era where both #Bitcoin and USD will play key roles in the average American's financial life. The coming years will see a fascinating interplay between Gresham's law, fiat protocol stickiness, and geopolitics. Hang on tight.

I get that but DIDs look ugly and are bad UX so you still need DNS for a global human readable namespace to provide decent cross-app UX. So is DID just an incremental upgrade to a raw pubkey?

2023-01-22 02:40:09 CET

- reply

Why is it not just a no-man’s land between dns based human readable addresses and pubkeys? How can you have a universal elegant-human readable identifier without DNS?

2023-01-22 02:16:54 CET

after reading the DID spec I’m bearish on the UX. did:nostr:randomkey is very unaesthetic and the lnurl email lookalike format seems much more reasonable despite the dns requirement. tell me why I’m wrong.

It’s wild how much music is out there. My friends show me their top artists and I’ve usually never heard of most of them.
