Privacy-preserving user verification for Web3

Another small step closer. "In Web2, users sign in with centralized identifiers like email addresses and social media profiles. In Web3, users create and own their Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs). DIDs are cryptographically verifiable identifiers stored on the blockchain, and independent of any organization. DIDs contain no personal data or wallet information." The way this works is, if you log on using your Web3 ID you are presented with a QR code. Scan the QR code with your phone, and your identity provider sends your credential to the service. You can use it to perform authentication tasks (verify age, membership in an organization, possession of a degree or credential, payment of a token) anonymously. Here's live video (warning: long, boring) of me trying to make it all work.
