### How I got into Decentralized Identity
I was offering freelance research services on Fiverr, and was introduced to the subject of digital identity through a few different clients. One had me write a 3500 word report on "Blockchain and the United Nations." Another client had me write a 1500 word report on blockchain identity, an exploration of the sector. Besides that I've written a few articles considering the architecture of Hyperledger Indy. So, I had collected a ton of information on decentralzied id, hyperledger indy and co. I'm not on fiverr anymore, but I still do reserach and content creation :)

Besides that I've written a few articles considering the architecture of Hyperledger Indy. Throughout that time, I collected a ton of the best information I could find on decentralzied id, hyperledger indy, and company. I'm not on fiverr anymore, but I still do reserach and content creation :)
I also [collect resources](http://crypt0library.net) on nearly every subject in crypto, which I'm slowly entering into a database to power a [web-app](https://github.com/infominer33/Crypto-library) for search, navigation by tags, etc. Since I enjoy the subject so much, I decided to enter all of my DID resources into [toml](/blockchain-id.toml), and I knew I could make an [awesome list](https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome) out of them sooner than a live demo of the app that is in progress. All of this work feeds into the rest, collecting resources helps me write, writing makes me find more resources. Putting the resources into the database also leads to collecting more resources, which will help me (and others) create quality content as time goes on. Generally speaking, learning is a lot harder when you don't know where the best quality information is.

### /awesome-indy and /blockchain-identity
All of the work I do feeds into the rest: collecting resources helps me write, writing makes me find more resources. Putting the resources into the database also leads to collecting more resources; which helps me to create quality content, and will hopefully help others find the information they're looking for. Generally speaking, everything is harder when you don't know how to find what you're looking for.
### /blockchain-identity and /awesome-indy
**[/awesome-indy](https://github.com/infominer33/awesome-decentralized-id/blob/master/awesome-indy/)** is another list that naturally grew from this one; focused on Sovrin/Indy protocol, governance, and ecosystem. I've also worked on [/peacekeeper/blockchain-identity](https://github.com/peacekeeper/blockchain-identity/) and included some of its resources here. Ideally these lists will all compliment each-other.
