Re: Inventor of the Web Creates Identity on Bitcoin Blockchain Sir Timothy Berners-Lee, an english computer scientist and the inventor of the World Wide Web has created his first Bitcoin blockchain ID on June 9

Is anyone aware of work that has been done comparing the two models (Blockstack and Estonian eID), or looking at what would be required for interoperability between them?

I rather see the Estonian solution as a way adapting their (well-functioning) ID-silo to a wider (but still scoped) audience.

    This is probably a more realistic approach to identity:

        I would be wary of any solution that forces everyone to use a monoculture of technology or a single datasource (even if it is distributed or decentralized).

        What this group is doing is defining a standard and the goal of this standard should be to allow users to pick any place to store their identity. Blockstack is an implementation. The goal should be many implementations and a protocol for interoperability between them.

        That is to say, Blockstack's approach is awesome but it doesn't solve the problem of a global user-centric identity system because it still requires everyone to use Blockstack's system.

        This is the same debate that raged regarding payments and Bitcoin. Identity on blockchains is catching up to where payments was a year ago.

                This is awesome to read.
                I created my ID couple of months ago on there also.
                It will be very interesting to see how this all plays out.
