  Unfortunate choice of name, given https://www.w3.org/TR/did-core/ https://www.w3.org/TR/did-core/.

    Thanks for informing! I guess the name can be changed, but I had to start somewhere :)

      Check out https://namechecker.vercel.app https://namechecker.vercel.app if you want to see if a project name has already been taken.

        Thanks for the tip. However I don't think the name is that important here. This is an open source decentralized system and the name can be changed.

  aside from squatting on the existing DID name, this smells an awful lot like the related AT protocol; how does your effort differ?
  • brisky 3y ago
    I was not aware of AT protocol. So even if there are any similarities I invented this independently.
    • mdaniel 3y ago
      Ok, well, I would bet that any consumer of your newfound protocol and its DID-but-not-that-DID system will still value knowing how yours differs from the AT protocol, and extra credit for whether their concepts are interoperable So, while you may not have known at the time, it will be in your best interest to have an answer and it would be stellar to put said comparison in your GitHub repos to prevent every single person from "emailing you to collaborate"
