  • Making SSI actually easier to use for developers
  • Identity comes from your active friends, family, and to some degree associates; everyone/thing else is subject to hacking (bribes, guns, FISA letters, ...). All hardware is hackable (until Abacus-semi comes through) so guard your home identity DewDrop server, or throw it away if/when it goes down (it will always be monitored by your fiends if you choose to be smart about it).
