- ibz 4y agoBlockchain is not about key management. You still need to take care of your keys.
- lukasb 4y agoA hosted service that you log into can manage on-chain identity for you, but still make it possible for you to transfer identity management to another service, maintaining portability without needing the user to do key management.
- ibz 4y agoSeems like you are making a circular argument. First you claim blockchain can help with "hosed and portable". Then you claim hosted can help you manage on-chain identity and make it transferable. While your first argument was plain wrong, your second argument is true, but unrelated to a blockchain: ANY kind of identity can be "hosted and portable": see email.
- lukasb 4y agoWith your email argument what you're really saying is that DNS is hosted but portable. Which is true, but it's also inconvenient.
