I noticed many WebThree apps have shifted back to login only via Email/Google/Apple/Twitter, and then auto-generate a new embedded/smart wallet for me. Wait, wait, wasn’t WebThree supposed to be about logging into any app with just a wallet address, with identity and data fully controlled by the user? 🤨

I'm confused. How is TikTok confused here?!

Been working on this specific topic for seven years. It’s not just ripe with the opportunity to do better. You’re in fact talking about web3’s Achilles heel. Raised some angel to ship a zero-point version in January of the first step in the right direction. https://addresso.com Always happy to talk identity.

Thanks. I appreciate understanding where you're coming from.

So "average" as in typical of everyone online today. Not as in typical of everyone drawn to web3's promise today. Not as in typical of everyone benefiting tomorrow from us realising web3's promise (whether they appreciate the underlying tech or not). In that case, is it fair to say that you sound like you're not in fact prioritizing the realisation of web3's promise? I appreciate that's one helluva woolly way to put it, but you do seem to be falling back hard on tradfi.

I'm working hard here. You may need to help me! The only way I can reconcile your responses here is something along the lines of your definition of "average user" being someone who won't experience this fragmentation. Is that what you're saying?

How does that address the UX challenge highlighted here? Am I missing something?

I'm not doing or indeed suggesting anything like that. ?

In web2, surveillance capitalists plant cookies, little identifiers to track your every move. The aspiration at least in web3 is that surveillance capitalism is not welcome. Yet rocking up everywhere with the same identifier (wallet) makes surveillance easier in web3 than web2.

have we talked about composability? apps with embedded wallets inside apps with embedded wallets so you won the big pot on a @ponder prediction market. Well done! are you withdrawing the funds to your Warplet? are you withdrawing funds from your Warplet to Rainbow? are you doing the copy-paste dance across apps and devices? @vitalik.eth ‘s “one address per app” statement was in the right direction, but issues of account management (beyond asset holding) become obvious. throw the new @coinbasewallet in the mix and UX friction increases. I’d be keen to hear @dwr.eth and @henri take on how is Alice navigating all this. (thoughts inspired after hanging our with @sheldrake and @accountless.eth today)

What’s the big picture here? What is Addresso part of exactly? Most obviously, Addresso is a response to web3’s Achilles heel — identity. We’ve seen Vitalik expressing concern about the current state of identity very recently (11 April), and our friends at /walletbeat are grappling with this same concern too. Addresso addresses this matter directly. But there’s a bigger picture too, a big picture in which things get very exciting very fast. At least it’s what gets us jumping out of bed in the morning! 🤩 We’ve just launched Transition9 with the wonderful @kernel0x community. Addresso is wholly compatible with Transition9 in terms of Gaia coding and local-first because Transition9 begins with meaningful identity. Here’s the website … we think you might just love it. https://transition9.ai

Thanks for setting the example in using “identifiers” and not “identities”. We will abstract away from identifiers. Forgive me for sharing this again … 😊 https://ethereum-magicians.org/t/a-maximally-simple-l1-privacy-roadmap/23459/29

Just seen you like a bit of Lisp. What we call Gaia coding is going to be right up your street!

Really should find a place to cite Lick. He’s up there for me with the likes of Weiner and Bateson and Engelbart for their superhuman prescience.

We've just launched Transition9 at the finale of @kernel0x block 10 (aka KBX). The Transition9 movement works for the natural integration of human and next-level AI in harmony with a new nature-inspired computing architecture. By next-level we mean beyond LLMs. We'd love to discuss our approach with anyone who thinks we're onto something; or who doesn't! 😄 https://transition9.ai

We’ve finished a full draft of our white paper and have started to share it with some wonderful organisations we’d love to count on as partners. Delighted to say we can confirm the first of these: https://www.kernel.community/

Just responded to @vitalik.eth's "A maximally simple L1 privacy roadmap". Specifically this point: 2. Move the ecosystem toward “one address per application” by default. If this topic is up your street, you can find it here: https://ethereum-magicians.org/t/a-maximally-simple-l1-privacy-roadmap/23459/29?u=sheldrake ____ /digitalidentity /walletbeat /addresso
