SSI and NFT

- NFTs, the Metaverse, and Digital Identity 2021-11-03 ContinuumLoop
Imagine a 3D immersive environment along the lines of Second Life. You “decorate” your “home” with “art”. You pop up an obligatory Persistence of Memory Dali print. But is it “real” and what does real even mean? In the physical realm, we know that this is only one original, which is at the MOMA in NYC. But what about the various quality prints that I can buy – at the MOMA, on Amazon, on the street.

- SSI for NFTs with Caspar Roelofs from Gimly 2021-05-26 SSI Orbit Podcast
That’s definitely one of the ideas that I’m exploring for more longer-term. [...] to have an embedded a private key in a secure element within the IOT device, and be able to verify the identity or the source of your IOT data through an SSI mechanism. That’s the longer-term, broader vision when talking about the supply chain, for sure.

- Game Governance Domains: a NFT Support Nightmare 2022-04-13 Habitat Chronicles
“I was working on an online trading-card game in the early days that had player-to-player card trades enabled through our servers. The vast majority of our customer support emails dealt with requests to reverse a trade because of some kind of trade scams.

This eliminates minting and transfer costs common on the NFT silos. I have provided link to the slides.
