- EGreg 1y agoDid you just recommend actually using some kind of crypto and blockchain on HN? TLDR: That sounds like it is some kind or grift. In all seriousness, google the Sidetree Protocol. Daniel Bruchner promoted it at Microsoft. And now we can even do zk-rollups too. Where was I? Oh yes, some kind of grift!
- taminka 1y agoactually though? storing a very small but important info (public keys, domain ownership and such) would have been a perfect use case, which also keeps the chain small...
- frollogaston 1y agoSame thing though, you have to give your wallet public key out of band. There's no other way to prove it's you.
