Arguably today’s is a kluge - but after research - my only option. Definitely the hardest so far.

@curiouskyle The maths breaks down if you spend zero - but yes.
@bradenslen what @mizaz just said.
Jax and I THOUGHT we had seem them all - so like Miraz - decided to do a little revisit. We just finished series 6 - which we had never seen - so now we are going to try out series 5.
BUT - the reason I ask is Epsode 1 - Series 6 - which has a SteamPunk theme - loved it … and some of our monocle exchange reminded me of that episode.
@fromjason It is certainly connected - BUT the question is how do you make it ‘Self-sovereign’ …
> Self-sovereign identity (SSI) empowers individuals to control their own digital identities without relying on centralized authorities like governments or tech giants. Users store verifiable credentials in personal digital wallets, sharing only necessary data selectively for privacy and security.
and
> Verifiable credentials are tamper-evident digital documents that prove claims about an identity or qualification, like a digital passport or diploma. They use cryptographic signatures from trusted issuers to enable instant verification without contacting the issuer. These standards, defined by the W3C, support privacy by allowing selective disclosure of information.
My question - which to date remains unanswered is
How do you ‘prove claims about an identity or qualification’ without some kind of ‘central authority’ and/or ‘trusted issuers’?
and
Where can I see this in action - in the wild?
Secondly - what - exactly - is ‘your identity’?
Thirdly if I take your phone - do I assume ‘your identity’?
@MitchWagner so ready for the microwave then.
@fromjason oh this could go deep and gnarly … so I enter at the right point .. are you aware of / into / involved in ‘self sovereign identity’❓
@bradenslen and I know you know I know this.
BTW - tangential question - but related. Are you a Brokenwood fan?
> “it is possible to build decentralized systems on top of centralized ones.”
…. could someone let the self sovereign identity people know this please.
