the only use I want to use blockchains for identity is for provenance in the form of proof of existence, and…

…and in some rarer cases some one-time use identifiers that can’t be “double spent”.
Sat Jul 02 03:10:59 +0000 2016
Replying to @timpastoor
no, PoE can be as simple as posting a hash or a Merkle root in a transaction, allowing proof that the object hashed existed then
Sat Jul 02 03:16:11 +0000 2016
Replying to @timpastoor
key signing and WoT does not require a blockchain if the identifiers are claimed first on a blockchain.
Sat Jul 02 03:18:37 +0000 2016
Replying to @timpastoor
well if you believe in bitcoin’s blockchain then you don’t a different form of trust.
Sat Jul 02 03:20:51 +0000 2016
Replying to @timpastoor
personally I never want to see more than a hash put on a blockchain – everything else WoT can be done offchain.
Sat Jul 02 03:22:52 +0000 2016
Replying to @timpastoor
first to post a identifier owns it, and only the key associated with that transaction can update key-value pairs offchain.
Sat Jul 02 03:25:14 +0000 2016
Replying to @timpastoor
you can prove your identity signature was the first ever used. Think about Craig’s fake PGP signature with a false date.
Sat Jul 02 03:30:10 +0000 2016
Replying to @timpastoor
yes, that is very desirable
Sat Jul 02 03:30:45 +0000 2016
Replying to @timpastoor
there are a whole bunch of these forms of blinding. I will probably use uprove, as Microsoft is freely licensing those patents
Sat Jul 02 03:32:46 +0000 2016
Replying to @timpastoor
you can in some cases use hierarchical keys for one time identifiers.
Sat Jul 02 03:33:47 +0000 2016
Replying to @timpastoor
Different ways. Blockstack requires proof of burn.
Sat Jul 02 03:35:26 +0000 2016
Replying to @timpastoor
if his claim, the public key and signature was all hashed in 2009 and put in an early transaction that is a pretty good start
Sat Jul 02 03:37:51 +0000 2016
Replying to @timpastoor
my solution is different than Blockstack’s. No Sybil attack because root identifier are just numbers. No value to Sybil.
Sat Jul 02 03:40:04 +0000 2016
Replying to @timpastoor
but once I can prove I am first to own that number, I can bootstrap into higher levels of assurance of identity.
Sat Jul 02 03:41:26 +0000 2016
Replying to @timpastoor
names become claims, not identifiers. My parents claim my name is Christopher but I am always who I am. Similar model.
Sat Jul 02 03:43:16 +0000 2016
Replying to @timpastoor
as more entities claim my identifier is Christopher the more likely it is that I am, especially if you WoT some of them.
Sat Jul 02 03:44:48 +0000 2016
Replying to @timpastoor
name uniqueness not always required, if underlying non-name identifier is unique. How many Christopher’s do you know?
