I'm in the process of getting my prototype, incomplete as it is, into github and built out to the point where it could be played with. Thanks to all commenters and link-backs.

I heard your interview on Let's talk Bitcoin and I must say that you make a very convincing argument. In many use cases the technology for decentalized login has been around for a long time. Personal certificates utilizing pub/priv crypto are nothing new. The collateral part combined with web-of-trust-like functionality is indeed sugar on top, but I think the biggest problem by far is ease of use. So far it has simply been way too complicated to use this technology. For a implementation to be successful, emphasis must be on making it easy at least as much as on doing it right. Just my thoughts. Thanks for sharing your inspiring idea! Very interesting concept! I heard your interview on Let’s talk Bitcoin and I must say that you make a very convincing argument.

I would like to put forth that Namecoin can satisfy most, if not all, of the desirable attributes mentioned in that discussion. As a recap for those who weren’t there, those attributes (and I’m leaving out a couple that I couldn’t read from the back of the room) are: personal silence, ease of use, non-invasive, iterative identity, acceptance, private, and ubiquitous “connect.” Keep these in mind as I describe Namecoin and how it can be used for login purposes. For the uninitiated, Namecoin is a decentralized, peer-to-peer naming system based on the cryptocurrency technology pioneered by Bitcoin. The use-case for Namecoin I’m about to describe was originally inspired by a post made by Joe Cascio called “Collateralized ID: Using Bitcoin To Suppress Sockpuppets.” [...] [...] By John LightP2P Connects USMay 11, 2013 During the “Respect Connect: Social Login That Doesn’t Suck” discussion at the Internet Identity Workshop, I held back from mentioning Namecoin because we were only looking for the attributes of a good login system rather than a technology.
