#
[jacky] something from #identity in blueksy discord by Blaine that's interesting
#
[jacky] (incoming screencap + link + text)
#
[jacky] > Also, there's a bit of functionality that I haven't seen expressed but is maybe possible with DIDs and the like: being able to make an authenticated request to a webfinger endpoint so that you can obtain restricted profile information - the user interface would be "tim@textuality.eth would like to know your phone number? Grant permission?", and the API would be `POST webfinger-endpoint/private-resource/request` with an auth header
#
[jacky] identifying the requestor. I think this is an important bit of functionality if we're talking about account linking, because there are plenty of scenarios where knowing one linked identity _does not_ imply being able to know other linked identities.
#
[jacky] I found this interesting because it's something I think I might want to use with my site - showing more `rel=me` values if someone's signed into it _or_ has passed a test that confirms that I'd want to show them some other identifiers
#
[jacky] Like if I don't want to link to my Trakt profile publicly but if it's someone who asks for it in some other context (like attempting to see what I watch and wanting to verify backlinks), I can give it to them (I can see TicketAuth helping out here as well)
#
aaronpk i'm surprised blaine of all people didn't connect that functionality to oauth which is exactly what it's for
#
GWG [jacky]: Re profile information, we briefly mentioned the idea of a theoretical future userinfo endpoint at the IndieAuth popup.
#
[jacky] OAuth has _not_ mentioned at all in that channel
#
[jacky] lol, I think that might be the only blocker

#

#
doosboox We could have something like that for the IndieWeb too! What should that currency be called?
#
capjamesg[d] How does that compare to karma here?
#

Loqi Through has 1 karma over the last year
#
capjamesg[d] I knew that would happen 😅
#
doosboox capjamesg[d]: it doesn't :D
#
doosboox I mean, it's pretty much the same thing
#
doosboox although for now there's nothing keeping track of how much someone's received 😆

doosboox [KevinMarks]: hahaha! Is that a real cryptocurrency?
#
Loqi awesome

[KevinMarks] It worked when I made it, I mined some to check. I haven't touched it in years though
