🎯 We need to follow Einstein’s Dictum: we should purse the simplest solution to the problem, nothing simpler. I think Decentralized Lists offers a method to start out with the simplest workable solution, but then to layer complexity on top of it. The idea is that we achieve consensus one tiny bite at a time, building up gradually to a sophisticated solution, rather than try to generate consensus over a cathedral all at once. When a proposed solution tries to do too much all at once, it’s the complexity that prevents consensus from being achieved, the result being that nothing happens.

Agreed. Thanks for your input on this. Simple is good. For DIDs I was actually thinking Ion, not a native Nostr DID. Its simple in the sense that keys and WoT are Nostr related but it gets complicated because Ion requires their own keys. I'd have think more about the decentralized lists and key rotation. In my mind, having Ion DIDs allows a user to rotate keys easier than a Nostr native solution. I'm not sure how a Nostr native solution could work if the primary key pair is compromised. Frostr could possibly come into play. Having a 2/2 or 2/3 multisigs on a decentralized list could be one way to do this.
