I was really impressed with a presentation I attended at the internet identity workshop detailing KERI, Key Event Receipt Infrastructure. I wish someone would integrate it into a social network so I don't have to do it myself. Landing page: https://keri.one/ Whitepaper: https://github.com/SmithSamuelM/Papers/blob/master/whitepape...

Have you heard of key event receipt infrastructure (KERI)? It solves the identity problem with decentralized identifiers though the secret sauce is the fractionally weighted multisig for enabling multi-device signing and account recovery with key rotation. See the specification for more details: https://www.ietf.org/id/draft-ssmith-keri-00.html Or the whitepaper: https://github.com/SmithSamuelM/Papers/blob/master/whitepape...

Loved your work & was an early supporter. If you haven't already, I think you should take a look at some really cool new possibilities in the app development space like automerge/hypermerge, braid.id, and gun.eco. These offer a new path forward where a home server is just one possible topology, but the data is freed from servers. See also https://github.com/SmithSamuelM/Papers/blob/master/presentat... (I particularly like how Sam has coined the term "autonomic data", meaning data that embeds its own authorization through encryption--once you separate authorization from distribution, you can do some amazing things).
