OK so you want to store public keys associated with an (unnamed) identifier using a block chain. Such as namecoin, bitcoin or ethereum. This is already sounding like a bad idea. Or is there some other block chain. Now what happens when it gets 51% attacked? Or someone claims someone else's identifier. I store my public key on my homepage. Surely this is a HUGELY simpler, cheaper and more secure way to do it? > > > There are also good topic papers from that event at > https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/rebooting-the-web-of-trust/tree/master/topics-and-advance-readings > > We are having our next #RebootingWebOfTrust this Sat/Sun in NYC > http://www.WebOfTrust.info and the first new topic papers are beginning > to arrive at https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/ID2020DesignWorkshop/ > > -- Christopher Allen
