standing up the protocol mesh this week w a few other devs -- join the-studio group in clear.txt DFOS if you want to spin up a node or psy-op me into adopting your pet cryptography idea before the protocol locks in v1 next month

The AT Protocol that powers Bluesky uses DIDs to serve decentralized *public* data

The DFOS Protocol that powers @darkforestos uses DIDs to serve decentralized *private* data

In both instances DIDs give the user — not the platform — greater agency and sovereignty without interrupting the actual end experience

The Colorado Senate Business, Labor & Technology Committee just voted *unanimously* to advance the Artist Corporations bill

Republicans, Democrats, and Colorado artists all testified in favor

A huge step for making a new legal structure for creative people

building a new type of platform w the crew last few months: a better way to hang out online, a new mode for the internet -- a fractal labor-of-love built around the exact way @metalabel_ has worked together online for years

This week we abandoned Slack and moved everything into DFOS.

It feels good in here. Calm. Cozy. Forgot how noisy everything else is. Glad to be going dark.

and if you're a cryptographic geek and wanting to get into the DFOS protocol side of things, or hang with other tech heads, the clear.txt space is the place to go :
