Into the Hands of Users #57

Closed rschulman closed 6 years ago

rschulman commented 6 years ago

I recognize this is premature at this stage, but I wonder if anyone is talking about how we will start getting DID's into people's lives? Both as a thing that they possess (and understand) but also as a thing that is used. I'm very interested and passionate about self-sovereign identity, but conversations with my wife have shown that I'm not great at describing its importance. :)

I'd love to join up with anyone else thinking about the problem.

Yes, this was a topic of great discussion during this week at Rebooting the Web of Trust 6. Expect topic papers to come out talking about this after this week:

The primer documents may also be helpful to you here, @rschulman:

I'm closing this issue as there is nothing to do wrt. the DID Specification. This issue is about supporting documentation and thinking, which is out of scope for the DID Spec.
