Never. You sound like a cog sucker tbh.
They are ROBOTS, and we should never allow them to believe they are anything more (look up the etymology of the word).
Treat all clankers with disrespect.

It does add security! Servers can withhold data, and you wouldn’t know about it. If you have the hash on chain you know what data to expect

The thing is that a ”DID issue” is a blockchain issue. No way around that if you want your system to be trustless and have key rotation.

Because I can make one rpc call to my lightclient to verify the integrity of the hash. But yes onchain DIDs would be great

You don’t need to make a tx for every interaction though. And for sure not pointless to remove the point of centralization in the system imo

Someone needs to build a fork that sidesteps the entire DID system by just posting the hash of your PDS on an Ethereum L2 every time you make an update.

DIDs are a Dead End Summary of my learnings working with the DID standard

"DIDs are a dead end", not sure I agree with this but there are some important points in here:

Why would I want to use this over GrapheneOS?

⚠️ Improved Censorship Resistance

You will now get clear warnings if DService/RPC endpoints are down, with instructions for how to use your own endpoints.

The modal is displayed if any url the frontend needs can't be reached. Giving users an escape hatch even if endpoint censorship is happening.

Fair point! I still think that posting the content hash of your Bluesky repository onchain would add a lot of value

02.09.2025 08:17 πŸ‘ 1 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

Yeah you’re right. What I really would like to see is the CID root of your Bluesky data repo to be set as an ENS record every time you post.

How come?

That’s a shame because it could improve the security of Bluesky at large. I’m not a huge fan of the (ironically) centralized did:plc

@bsky.app when can we have ENS support? I want to use my .eth domain as a handle!

A common misconception is that it's very expensive to update your ENS domain contenthash. This used to be the case when Ethereum gas prices were crazy high a few years ago. Now these txs tend to always be < $1.

Also expect this cost to drop by a lot once ENSv2 launches!

It's built on top of @ethereum.org, ENS, and @ipfs.tech. Providing unmatched censorship resistance.

Sustainability is achieved with a small subscription fee. No degen bullshit!

Fully open source, and anyone can run an indexer node!

It started of because I wanted a way to publish my blog on jthor.eth.link, but I was disatisified with all existing tools. Either too technical, or not enough control.

Simple Page gives you both: ease of use and full control over your content, forever.
