  • What is Web3 and Why It Matters Dion Hinchcliffe 2022-01-11

  • OpenSea, Web3, and Aggregation Theory Stratechery

    what gives Aggregators their power is not their control of supply: they are not the only way to find websites, or to post your opinions online; rather, it is their control of demand. People are used to Google, or it is the default, so sites and advertisers dont want to spend their time and money on alternatives; people want other people to see what they have to say, so they dont want to risk writing a blog that no one reads, or spending time on a social network that because it lacks the network has no sense of social.

3Box

3box IDX: A Devkit for Open Identity (From Kaliya, this is interesting, but they are taking on a huge amount of work without an IPR container/wrapper).

Designed to be cross-platform and highly configurable, IDX is compatible with all blockchains, wallets, and a wide variety of user and application data storage options including Ceramic, Textile, OrbitDB, Filecoin, IPFS, and Secure Data Stores — so you can seamlessly integrate decentralized identity with the rest of your Web3 tech stack.

  • The 3 parts of identity in a dynamic world

    At 3Box we live and breathe identity, and while GDPR and data abuses like Facebooks may be concerning, they have also brought some welcome attention to the issues of digital privacy and data control.

Holochain

Kurt Nielsen & Nagib Aouini from Partisia Blockchain

When we use identity-related credentials in the real world, they often have different properties than digital credentials. There are two separate ceremonies in most cases: issuance and presentation. If you have spent any time at a department of motor vehicles or a passport office, youve seen what an issuance ceremony can be it is usually an intensive process, but the tradeoff is that once you have a credential like a drivers license or passport, you can use that credential for multiple purposes, at multiple places, over a long period of time.

The technical name for the model at work here is called the Direct Presentation model. A credential is issued, and then held for a long period of time with intermittent voluntary presentations to many different verifiers. To put that back into our example, my auto club issues me a card, which I hold in my wallet for years (maybe decades!), and I might choose to show that card to a garage when I need a tow, or possibly to a store to get a discount.

  • Web3, entangled: Holochain: a marlinspike to undo the knots

    Moxie argues that protocols evolve slowly, while platforms evolve quickly. Thats because a platform can make decisions without waiting for a whole crowd of others to reach consensus. But heres the thing — some protocols dont need to evolve quickly. As long as a base protocol is versatile enough to let people create and express things in an unlimited range of fit-for-purpose application protocols, it can be as stale and boring as it likes. And its precisely the decentralisation, versatility, and stability of these base protocols — HTTP, email, and yes, Bitcoin and Ethereum — that allow platforms to innovate so quickly on top of them.

  • Cryptocurrencies: A Necessary Scam? Matt Stoller

    Both financial crisis reformers and Bitcoin proponents believe that the existing financial order is a collusive arrangement between large banks who are supported by government power…. Societies and social contracts are built on cooperative mechanisms, but also barriers and enforceable rules.

The amount of utopian bullshit and fake promises on a technology that doesnt really work as anything but a speculative bubble and money laundering device should be a big red flag. Crypto is a movement based on the theory that the existing nation-state is a system rigged by billionaires, and the right response is to create a different and more corrupt order rigged by different billionaires, money launderers, and dictators.

A game changing, blockchain based, public utility layer, which makes it simple for people and organizations to exchange verifiable, immutable, trusted self-sovereign career credentials.

In sum, SSI saves time, enhances security, and returns personal data ownership to individuals, thereby lessening the power of GAFA [Google, Apple, Facebook, and Amazon].

Web3 has begun to impact all corners of digital culture, from media to finance, art and gaming, and even identity. Mental models allow for digestible thinking patterns to understand and predict the world, and Chris lays out how these new digital primitives are changing everything.

  • TBL: Out to Remake the Digital World. 2021-01-10

    A story appeared in the NY Times about Tim Berners-Lees vision for the web and Solid-Inrupt that are working towards fulfilling it. The article included a quote from Kaliya, and has stirred up an active thread on the CCG mailing list.

Others say the Solid-Inrupt technology is only part of the answer. “There is lots of work outside Tim Berners-Lees project that will be vital to the vision,” said Kaliya Young, co-chair of the Internet Identity Workshop, whose members focus on digital identity.

Mr. Berners-Lee said that his team was not inventing its own identity system, and that anything that worked could plug into its technology.

  • Web 3.0 and digital identity- (In Chinese) Fraser Edwards via Johnny Fry

    Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) is arguably the most effective form of digital identity in Web 3.0. SSI is a user-centric identification method for controlling information. Fully aligned with Web 3.0, SSI eliminates the need to store personal information entirely on a central database and gives individuals greater control over the information they share to protect their privacy.

Web 3 Meta

Called a "self-sovereign identity," it would keep the data with the individual. People would use the Secure ID for online interactions; any data sent would be encrypted. But the key is that those online entities would not store the data themselves. So, there would be no more huge, centralized places where personal data could be stolen.

  • This is how GATACA achieves blockchain interoperability

    blockchain agnosticism is possible due to our DID registry component: all incoming activity is delegated to the DID registry with specific connections to each blockchain so that the rest of our technology components do not have to participate in the process. Other components need not know where the information persists from; they delegate that special knowledge to the DID registry and continue to perform their regular activities as usual.
