Yes, exactly this -- thanks for putting it so eloquently, Eric. That's what I was trying to say with "Remember that you can always re-issue already issued VCs." VCs don't have to be a one and done thing. You can provide a bearer VC to start, mix in an email if that's all you have, and then re-issue when the individual gets a more capable digital wallet in time. All of this, of course, depends on your system of record being able to authenticate the individual throughout their lifetime -- and for that, you can use email address, SMS, multifactor, in-person biometrics, or any combination thereof to upgrade their less capable VC to a more capable one. -- manu -- Manu Sporny - https://www.linkedin.com/in/manusporny/ Founder/CEO - Digital Bazaar, Inc.
