6:26 Introduction
8:59 Down the Rabbit Hole: What do the terms identity, identifier, attestation, and role mean in the context of decentralized identity?
14:10 In your opinion, what should be an ideal design of Decentralized Identity system? What are the major challenges in execution of such system?
20:47 Does Decentralized Identity (or any mass adopted PKI) automatically give us end-to-end encrypted communications? Do governments and social media networks actively resist that?
25:08 Microsoft is supporting an open source digital identity project. Please provide info on the project. What do you think of it? Are there other similar projects?
31:56 Have you read the paper "Who Watches the Watchmen?" by Divya Siddarth et al? Any opinions on Idena or any of the other projects mentioned in the paper?
32:50 What are the current use-cases for decentralized identity? How do such systems avoid Sybil attack?
40:07 How would you explain Decentralized Identity to a newbie to the space?
43:50 Do you see users use current ways to store their ids/keys (custodial, hot wallet for low value ids, HW id wallet etc..)? How would users manage id recovery?
50:50 Why has PGP and GPG never caught on? Never got PGP to really work, and I never met anyone in the real world to exchange keys with?
54:13 What's the point of decentralized identity if everyone's data is still being stored centrally on corporate cloud servers? How do we break free from the cloud?
56:24 What do you think of a project like orbit, combining decentralized identity (Urbit ID) with a peer-to-peer network of personally owned computation (Urbit OS)?
57:24 How can you prevent having duplicate and multiple digital identities?
1:00:01 Will DID help small vendors compete with companies such as Amazon by removing the need for a separate account per website? What might that experience look like?
