In combination with the roadmap, I am also building an information portal to help support the goals of Redd-ID
Please can you explain the difference between “NAME” and “NAMESPACE” Gnasher ?
reddibrek think of namespace like a domain name.
It could be used for a group, business, or charity for example
When you create a namespace, it is done to contain a set of IDs
A name is the same as redd-id, it identifies the individual
This maybe comes across a little confused, so where I am coming from is:
- Redd-ID is the concept for a universal blockchain based ID system
- Namespace is a collection of names within Redd-ID
- Name is a user ID belonging to a Namespace
As a note, the label for namespace and name may be updated
Sounds almost exactly what nxt already has within its coin…
you can do all of what you just said with nxt and alias’s.
Drakona you have it right, NXT is almost exactly…but not the same
I have a NXT account… they have an aliasing system. Actually they have many things that others are also building…
But NXT is not the only solution
As you say, don’t put all your eggs in 1 basket
BTW nice to see you back here, Feedback is good
Never said it was the only solution, just was pointing out that reddid is not exactly new and unique. That there are similarities else where. Guess is just the whole ‘new/unique’ tag that gets me… sort of annoying when things make that claim to be found out are not as new or unique as claimed. Feels a bit like false information which can lead to distrust.
And no I dont put all my eggs in nxt either.
A little here and there and elsewhere to be safe encase anything does not look good one way or another. better safe then sorry.
Perhaps I need to read up more on reddid again to see what the differences are to learn more about which is which. Knowledge is half the battle.
Unfortunately for me. I lost my wallet.dat a few months back when my computer died and so did the backup from a storm. So have to start fresh with reddcoin. I only have my old account still tied to here, but no wallet.dat for it anymore so cant get to the coins in it anymore.
Drakona i think what I said was ‘what we are building is unique’
I will stand by that comment, as I am not revealing all the cards at this early stage.
Redd-ID is only a piece in the overall design.
As you mentioned, read up more on what we are doing.
I do blog about development progress.
If you can, be involved in the community.
You don’t need to be a coder, but if you like what we are trying to achieve than it is enough to be a support and advocate in the broader community.
Regarding your wallet, that is a shame,
A lot can be said for HD wallets… Although not fully mentioned in the Roadmap.
It is something that is being considered, and one of the reasons to bring the electrum wallets back into play
Gnasher good explanation. I still find it hard in some way to understand this ReddID system but soon enough this old brain will pick it up. Glad to know that you are not revealing all cards as of yet. We need surprise. Great job.
The Redd-ID pic you have listed above with the Acknoledgement, Reward and Promote tabs, these will be integrated into the wallet or the website for users to choose who they want to tip etc…?
altcoinbonanza I think it is good to discuss Redd-ID in general terms.
And as you mentioned, it can be difficult to grasp exactly what is Redd-ID and what can it do.
This was the basis of getting this information into an easily understandable format
As I have been contemplating the whole tipping culture and seeing where it has been successful and where it has not.
The 3 ideologies that will form Redd-ID are
- Acknowledge
- Reward
- Promote
Hidden within the roadmap are the concepts that will deliver on these ideologies.
Thanks Gnasher for your answer. I am sure this will start to make sense very soon. I am looking forward to the final product.
