I've wanted to have domains as identity for years, so I'm thrilled to see someone actually doing it. I want to use a domain validated identity for everything; social networks, package repositories, code signing, etc..

I hope this idea catches on. I think a more decentralized approach to identity combined with 3rd party attestations or filters could change the way the internet works.

Imagine what could be built if everyone used domains as handles / identities. Social networks could go hands off for moderation and allow plugable moderation engines that rely on domains for identity, trust, reputation, etc..

I'm convinced that domain validated identities and attestation could usher in a revolution for reputation and trust. Are there any more projects doing similar things?
