Yeah, a bit bloated, but has some hardware adoption already. The challenge of anchoring to a SSI remained a question for me. A related initiative we sponsored in the past might be of interest iscc.io , github.com/iscc. But a non-blockchain solution would be more ideal, in hindsight.

Brain expanding meme: P2P, Reliable P2P, Reliable Encrypted P2P, Stacking your own protocols on Iroh.

Once I got over the amazement of @iroh.computer 's reliable encrypted P2P connectivity, the next unlock was the ease of protocol stacking (and the modularity that affords).

Incredible! Claude Code was able to integrate better-auth in just 10 minutes, freeing me up to spend my time on other important tasks, such as fixing this buggy better-auth integration.

Any evidence of a sleeper β€˜agent’ trained INTO an LLM yet? Thinking subtle code recommendations opening back doors…seems plausible and hard to uncover.
