In another article @deadsuperhero talked about nomadic identity and Mike Macgirvin's efforts to implement it in ActivityPub, but similarly failed to mention another project that implements it (Mitra) and the person who wrote the spec (me).
At least my work was mentioned in a footnote. In the current article it is completely ignored.
@rafael_xmr @monero Support for portable objects can be added to existing Fediverse applications, the idea is relatively simple. However, implementing it might still require significant effort because of the fundamental shift from "one account -> one server" to "one account -> multiple servers". I've started to work on this in Mitra, but we're still several months away (at the very least) from anything usable.
Once this idea is proven to work, I expect rational developers to adopt it, because the benefits of data portability seem to vastly outweigh its downsides.
@Eggroley I have no time for shitcoin research. If there are other CHIP sites, it shouldn't be difficult for you to present them.
>Decision making being done by multiple unaffiliated people from multiple different teams on different node software and, CHIPs taking multiple years and iterations to achieve consensus seems to fit the definition of decentralized governance pretty well.
If 10 guys talking on a forum and deciding what's best for all users of a network counts as "decentralized", then yeah, maybe it is.
@Eggroley We were talking about CHIPs at https://bch.info/en/chips. There's a website and a github repo, likely controlled by the same person. Looks very official to me, and very centralized. More generally, there's no such thing as "decentralized governance". You can have anarchy / free market, or you can have a centralized decision making process, but not both.
@japananon @monero I talked with some devs and learned about plans to add GUI for mutlisig to Feather wallet. But it is not clear when this will happen because Monero multisig still has experimental status (its security is not proven).
I could try to build an alternative wallet app, but there's a risk that Feather will add it first and my effort would be wasted.
Also, this just popped up in my feed: https://monero.im/post/3925
@japananon @monero I could build one, sounds like an interesting project.
There was an old system based on BitMessage, but it is unusable and unmaintainted: https://www.getmonero.org/resources/user-guides/multisig-messaging-system.html.
Someone is trying to build I2P-based version with an integrated marketplace: https://github.com/creating2morrow/neveko. It doesn't look very usable either, and developer is trying to do everything at once, which is usually a bad idea.
I would make it as a standalone tool that can work on clearnet and can connect to other software
@japananon @monero Apparently it was never attempted. What is so great about Nunchuk, integrated chat?
Given that monero-wallet-rpc provides CLI interface, GUI shouldn't be difficult to build. I think it can be even built by integrating multisig into an existing chat or social application.
@gvs @simplex @ShadowRebel @k4r4b3y True, but as far as I know there is a single team and single implementation, so it's not quite in the same league as Matrix and XMPP.
@k4r4b3y @ShadowRebel Matrix seems to be focusing on the needs of its corporate clients lately. Interesting projects like P2P matrix, low-bandwidth and portable identity are not getting attention. Instead, they are making OIDC mandatory:

Over time I've become less enthusiastic about Matrix. I'm not saying we should ditch it, but it's good to have a FOSS-oriented alternative (XMPP), just in case.
@RealPappenheimer This issue was discussed at length in monero-community matrix room when proposal was submitted. I guess it's too late to reverse the decision. Even the person who wrote AGPL-licensed modules appears to support the change, although I don't know why they suddenly changed their mind.
>ANON + NERO leverages the power of the Uniform Resources (UR) standard to transmit Monero’s relatively large payloads via animated QR codes.
Interesting. Are you referring to this? https://github.com/BlockchainCommons/crypto-commons/blob/master/Docs/ur-1-overview.md
@sun @fediverse @deadsuperhero Not yet. But Mitra can display a "Subscribe" button and subscription terms for sub.club accounts if they start publishing a
Proposalobject as described in FEP-0837. Alternatively, I can add support for their customsubscriptionproperty
