Re: [EXTERNAL] Re: [Potential Malicious Mail]Re: Query: Storing DID Documents on Centralized Platforms

  *   There have been DID Methods for IPFS

On that note, is did:ipid an active method?

Yes to what Chaal's said, and ...

Yes, what Rieks said is also true.

There are multiple efforts to put tighter security around did:web
which end up looking very much like a transaction log on the DID
Document (signed transactions on changes to the DID Document)... which
then, of course, end up looking like a mini-blockchain.

To more directly answer Vigas' question: There have been DID Methods
for IPFS and Github... none for Google Drive (that I know of), but I
expect the Google Drive DID Documents would end up looking close to
what a did:web DID Document would look like.
