There is a thread over in the press child board > https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/2018-02-13-microsoft-to-embrace-decentralized-identity-systems-2942471

I think from reading the links that with this proposed DID everyone
will be in control of their own info.

While BTC, ETH and LTC are mentioned in the news Microsoft will be
creating their own blockchain possibly with the help of some existing
crypto partnership.

I am just visiting this thread again from yesterday and reading over the reports.
There are a lot of points of interest.

As stated in the Google Newsstand article it is not clear what or how Microsoft plan to implement the Decentralized ID system,
or whether we will see them adopting an existing project like, Bitcoin, Ethereum and Litecoin or building a decentralized network themselves.

“After examining decentralized storage systems, consensus protocols, blockchains, and a variety of emerging standards we believe blockchain technology and protocols are well suited for enabling Decentralized IDs,” today’s announcement post from Microsoft says.

Identity is one of the long-touted use cases of blockchain technology that does not have anything to do with payments or currency. In today’s post, Microsoft points to Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Litecoin as three specific platforms that are suitable foundations for DIDs.


This is from their blog post mentioning "new partnerships", is this a wink to IOTA?

Over the last 12 months we’ve invested in incubating a set of ideas for using Blockchain (and other distributed ledger technologies) to create new types of digital identities, identities designed from the ground up to enhance personal privacy, security and control. We’re pretty excited by what we’ve learned and by the new partnerships we’ve formed in the process.

Do not get too excited microsoft didnt announced that they will use these coins you have mentioned and i personally doubt that they will because they can easily create their own cryptocurrency using the blockchain technology which is better than having partnership with these solid coins.I dont like KYC verification because it may compromise our privacy this is just like what microsoft is planning to do with DIDs.

Still a little mad at you Charlie but good news for BTC ETH and LTC. DIDS (Decentralised ID systems) sound amazing and looks like a promising future for privacy:
Quote
"Unlike the forms of identification used in the world today, a decentralized identity system is not controlled by any single, centralized institution such as a government or large tech company. The idea is that a decentralized identity system removes the possibility of censorship and gives an individual full control over their identity and reputation."

Welcome Bull back to the crypto market!
Microsoft will only use the blockchain technology but they didnt say that they will use these three cryptocurrencies are you making up something? buy BTC LTC ETH  for what?these coins arent even a privacy coin which you are mainly concern about because your topic is about Dentralized Identificaton System.

Finally the good news get traction. This one is actually from at least Feb 12.

And Charlie Lee's PR starts to pay off. Litecoin has a spectacular growth! Now I am sad that I had to sell at 0.016, I clearly didn't expect this...

It will be good if more and more big companies adopt blockchain technology to integrate in their already functioning infrastructures, but I hope this will also help to raise the bar of crypto and also raise the value of the various digital currencies we like to hold for long term value. I think many of us are hoping that more and more mainstream corporations will use this technology to benefit mankind and also help more and more people out of poverty as well. Let us see if this Microsoft work will be in everyone's favor now and in the near future.

I think you are getting over excited OP. Yes, Microsoft said that it will use blockchain technology to create Decentralised ID systems, but that does not mean that the prices of BTC, LTC and ETH will also increase. Blockchain is something, which most countries and institutions are positive about, including those who hate Bitcoin. But yes, if they use the blockchain of a popular coin, then yes, you can expect some good bull run!
I guess we will have to wait then, if Microsoft decides to create their own private chain then this is the same old problem of having a centralized institution control of your information and this will have no effect on the price but if Microsoft begins to develop this on one of those chains then this will be good news for the price, but I will not trust personally something developed by Microsoft unless the whole thing was open source and independent developers reviewed the code.

I like the whole idea of having a decentralized ID system but to we really need this system? if nobody can get access to these IDs why would someone will create such system?who will be responsible if some information were leaked to the public if a hacker compromised the whole system?I dont want my  Identity to be at risk just like joining these KYC ICOs.

Is this serious? Microsoft?
I would argue that a decentralized identity system can be better than KYC. What do you think?

But what I love is that Microsoft says it will choose BTC, ETH and LTC as three specific platforms suitable for the decentralized identity system it will build. This news is like a firefighter who comes in times of disaster.
