Is there any interest in setting up a public/private key generating thing on SaidIt that could be used to log in on other platforms carrying our identities forward? Not sure it would matter too much with anons other than to verify you're the same "d3rr" on other platforms as on here, without getting direct communicated validation in comments or chat.

This is basically oAuth. It's already running here for the android app. No one cares about additional uses for it. No one wants to make saidit the center of their digital identity.

I resemble that accusation.

I take it oAuth is good or you wouldn't use it. Would it be of use to non-Android folks?

Yes oAuth has many uses. Sign in with Google, Sign in with Facebook, etc, those are all oAuth.

Oh. I thought it was more indie. Last Feb someone (maybe Panzer) posted an alt-oAuth that sounded terrific. I wish I could find that again.
