What would you say about a protocol that was not permissionless? One you had to apply to build on to keep the quality of data high and within the scope of the intended purpose.

The current version of Walletconnect I’m using is a pain but that will change very soon. For now, click connect in the web and you’ll see the QR code. Open your wallet on mobile and select the option to scan a QR code. For MetaMask, it’s the top-right icon. Scan and it will connect

Can't figure out how to send a DM on the web, so I will ask my question here. Trying to figure out how to login to mosaic on the web, and connect a wallet. There are a lot of wallet types on desktop list but no metamask, or any that I recognize?

Sometimes I feel like this too. I wonder if there are examples where a permissionless protocol failed because the use cases got too broad and the purpose became lost.

Funny how you just wrote this yesterday and I’m thinking about it today. So are saying the process looks something like: everyone is open to creating Marvel branded content, but it must get approved by Marvel to get into the MarvelStore. Only once the content is there can the creators sell it as officially Marvel.

@mosaicnetwork endorse @macbudkowski for their understanding of protocols, ability to explain them in understandable terms, and apply the concept to new applications

I call these 'restricted protocols' and IP worlds like MARVEL or Star Wars work this way :)

BTW Skype is an example of a restricted protocol - specs has not been public and all apps built on top of it are closed-source:
