Infominer, here. Just want to give a bit of an introduction to this site, share a bit of my philosophy around how I work, and why I built it.
|
|
|
|
I came into the Bitcoin space, mid 2017, around the time I began looking for work writing research based content.
|
|
|
|
I hadn't been involved with tech for nearly a decade, but I was excited about the idea of getting paid to learn, and how computers and the internet landscape had matured, in my absence.
|
|
|
|
Initially, I advertised freelance writing services, for detail oriented, research based, content. I found it very difficult to both learn what was required for articles I was hired for, and find a quality\authoritative reference to use for the article. I saw such a great need for quality references, It felt impossibile for anyone to do a good job writing about anything they hadn't already become immersed in.
|
|
|
|
I've since become consumed with the idea of making curated lists for some of the tech topics I'm most interested in. In this way, I make complex subjects easier to navigate, much more quickly than I could write about all the things. Meanwhile, curated list of references enables the creation of a variety of articles. So while I may be slow at filling in some commentary around the lists, it makes a solid base for further exploration.
|
|
|
|
In its first iteration, this site was an "[awesome list](https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome)", but it quickly outgrew that model. I saw that decentralized identity had a long history, and I could see how it would be _the_ blockchain use-case, beyond currency and would unlock a large number of the usecases people were trying to bake inside a consensus algorithm.
|
|
|
|
The landscape is moving quickly, and so I'm just building out a map, as able. I'd also welcome any effort from visitors who feel inspired to spruce up a page, here and there, or potentially add pages \ sections. If not, I'll get around to it all, eventually.
|
|
|
|
The idea has always been for this to be a collaborative effort. Soon, there will be a public mailing list, as that seems to be how decentralized organizations actually work online.
|
|
|
|
I feel blessed to have had such meaningful learning experience and initiation into digital identity.
|

|
Thanks for Visiting, and taking the time to read this note.
