Tim Bouma on Nostr: This is what is being presented (today) as ‘state of the art’ at the identity ...
This is what is being presented (today) as ‘state of the art’ at the identity conferences.
From what I have learned what I can do with #nostr, this is unnecessarily complicated because they are not using a cryptographic protocol at its core (like nostr).
Plus there are some very problematic components, namely, the ‘Orchestration’ and ‘Authorization’ components.
You can wipe this complicated architecture cleanly away with signed events with kinds and relays.
