So the discovery protocol may be something like: IF identifier starts with '!' lookup on Telehash ELSE IF identifier has the form user@domain lookup using WebFinger and fall back to Telehash ELSE IF identifier starts with '@' lookup on Twitter identity service fallback to medium.com<http://medium.com> identity service ELSE IF identifier starts with '$' lookup on cash.me<http://cash.me> identity service ELSE return not found The last two are not realistic for a global standard but I'm sure Twitter, Medium and Square would like them On 26 March 2015 at 16:19, Andy McKay <amckay@mozilla.com<mailto:amckay@mozilla.com>> wrote: On Mar 26, 2015, at 12:56 PM, Adrian Hope-Bailie <adrian@hopebailie.com<mailto:adrian@hopebailie.com>> wrote: It does make me think that an identifier like adrian$hopebailie.com<http://hopebailie.com/> could be a cool standard though and would imply that my IdP is at hopebailie.com<http://hopebailie.com/> and my identity key is "adrian”. adrian£hopebailie.com<http://hopebailie.com> is way cooler. A currency symbol that applies to only a few countries isn’t going to work. -- ========================= -- Erik Ros -- -- +447979090626 -- -- mail@erikros.me<mailto:mail@erikros.me> -- -- http://erikros.me -- -- @erikros_me -- -- +ErikRos_ejfrme -- =========================
