   My plan for nomadic identity / SSO:

   https://codeberg.org/silverpill/mitra/issues/43

   did:onion seems to be the best option. Not ideal, but DIDs are composable, and new methods can be supported with little effort.

     @hugot The data associated with the DID will be retrieved by servers (instances). Clients will likely get profile data from servers, but it is possible that some of them will be able to resolve DIDs directly.

     @silverpill will the DID be where your profile lives? Like anytime someone visits your profile, its data is retrieved from it?

     @hugot Yes, this solution is only suitable for power users who know how to run onion services. But it is cheap and you can have full control over your identity.

     @silverpill I see, so profile data is either requested from servers, which request it from the onion service, or from the onion service directly. It really does need to be online ALL the time then, I was thinking of shortcuts if that wasn't a hard requirement :p

     @hugot No, I also don't know much about it.

     @silverpill BTW, have you considered using #freenet? I don't know much about it, but from what I've been told it's a decentralized datastore like ipfs, but it doesn't leak IP addresses.
