I am looking for a public feedback/discussion on Validbook idea. I think CCG mailing list is the best place for it, because it will help to deliberate SSI, RWOT ideas, as well as to flash out technical nuances of DID and VC standard. My original email about Validbook [1] to this mailing list contained a bit too much of everything. I hope this email contains the right amount of details and will trigger an interesting discussion. In a nutshell Validbook idea is simple: - create service that allows to create Self-Sovereign Identities - create service that allows these SSIs to prove that they uniquely represent human individuals in a digital world - create Kudos (tokens with daily supply 1 token per 1 living human (7.5B KDS/day in 2018) - distribute Kudos between SSIs that proved to uniquely represent human individual - thus creating huge continuous incentive for people to participate in Kudos distribution and support Validbook Services right from the start *(solving common killer of "big ideas" – the chicken-egg problem)* - use Kudos for development and support of human-centric Validbook Services (low-engaging non-addictive social networking service; end-to-end encrypted email service; digital signatures service, wallet for self-sovereign money, etc); - as a result create leading implementation, "killer application" for Self-Sovereign Identity idea, DIDs and Verifiable Credentials specifications, that will provide pressure and motivation for governments and organizations to coalesce around it, thus leading to widespread adoption of SSI, end-to-end encryption, self-sovereign money, ultimately to more freedom and more protection of human rights. This all might sound as something too grandiose and futuristic, but I cannot find the reason why it cannot be done.
