Discussion notes, key understandings, outstanding questions, observations, and, if appropriate to this discussion: action items, next steps:
Intros + why you’re here:
James Ebert engineer - how to we communicate trust to end user?
Definitely heading in a good direction.
We haven’t done a good job of communicating the apps and what they do
Robert Brennan, software engineer, Maine - have a belief that everything that can be decentralised will be decentralised? Decentralised finance is more egalitarian. First generation is crypto-currencies. Everything you can do in centralised finance now available on decentralised platforms.
Stephen Yates, product manager. Canadian Digital Service. Looking at setting up SSI type identity verification for the Canadian gov.
Mark Scott, Internet security, long-time IIW fan.
Bruce Conrad, software developer, based in Utah currently. To be fully self-sovereign in this world you need to at least have a website, a blog. WE have the opportunity to decentralise but there are lots of forces centralising this.
Sean Jensen, software developer. Generally interested in what the future holds.
