@typewriters @sjgadler All that said, I do expect Verifiable Credentials to play a part in how the solution might be built out, so your suggestion of a "corollary" will happen; of that I'm most certain.

@typewriters @sjgadler In collaborating on the paper with @sjgadler and the really talented team that he brought together, we decided to focus on the more general concern and approaches rather than be overly prescriptive about a solution.

@typewriters @sjgadler Hi Lauren, I'm the lead standards architect of the W3C Verifiable Credentials specification at W3C. Your instinct is spot on, PHCs do have quite a bit to do with Verifiable Credentials, and digital credentials in general.

@TelegramSam @IdentityWoman @mujtabaidrees94 @tmarkovski @SSI_by_memes @trinsic_id @mattrglobal The QR Format is detailed in the open standard published by Conexxus (which is an internationally recognized standards body for the retail sector). Yes, we also plan to take that standards track at W3C when we get enough implementation experience from non-retail market verticals.

@blaine @IdentityWoman This analysis of Veres One performance with a proposed non-ICO, non-proof-of-work, non-cryptocurrency long-term sustainability-driven financial model might be useful (and apologies in advance, I don't have spare cycles to engage deeply at present):

@Sarah_Cecc Hi, Lead Editor of the DID Core specification you are referring to. The Mozilla response is misguided. There is interop, I suggest you read this:

@Sarah_Cecc @by_caballero @lana_VK @amazon HTTP Signatures is much broader than where it started, but to provide it as an example of why "blockchain bad" is misguided. Glad you like the spec, though, and looking forward to Amazon upgrading to it from Sigv4. 2/2

@CatherineIsaac_ As a CEO, I have reviewed a dizzying array of press releases, news reports, legal documents, and engineering plans this week... this is, by far, the most riveting three sentences I've read this week. :) ... can't wait to see what happens next.

Wow, the W3C Web Assembly Working Group rechartering vote is going on right now at W3C and it doesn't have nearly enough votes to pass with a week left in the balloting process. More here on the situation: #w3c #wasm #web

@SailingDigital @apoliticalco @piacandrews @ServiceNSW These are called split smart contracts, and Mark Miller at @agoric has done a ton of great work in that space.
