There was a previous attempt at a did:pgp, but I don't think it really went anywhere. I think the general thinking has been: "Yes, but how many people have an active PGP key... and would they be interested in converting that to a DID?" -- and the answer seems to be: "Not many" and "Probably not". I think a more likely bootstrap would be SSH keys, because developers need to use them, but again, the developer population is really small compared to the user population. If we look at the largest deployment of DIDs to date, BlueSky, I expect that next to none of those 25M+ people know they're even using a DID (which is where we need to be). Just some thoughts... not saying not to do a did:pgp, just noting we've had some discussions in the past and it didn't seem to go anywhere the first time around. -- manu -- Manu Sporny - https://www.linkedin.com/in/manusporny/ Founder/CEO - Digital Bazaar, Inc. https://www.digitalbazaar.com/
