This looks super cool - I always thought this would be a logical next step for Facebook since they are already pretty close to the idea of owning identity. Ultimately, with the growth in the number of Internet-connected devices, there definitely appears to be a need for an identity system to connect them all together.
Is that your vision for Passcard? Do you expect this to be something FB will eventually want to compete with?
@ankurnagpal The biggest difference from Facebook is that Facebook is a company (a single trusted party) and this is an open-source protocol. Think AOL vs the Internet.
@ssnacks yes, thanks! The way we're thinking about it is if any identity system is going to become universally adopted (across countries, corporations, etc.), it necessarily has to be independent and permission-less.
