Why should your identity be digital?

Why not? Because everything in hard copy is destructible. Anything on the blockchain platform is imperishable. This undestroyable nature of the blockchain is the most sought-after one. This gives immense security and keeps the matters private yet anonymous.

This is termed as pseudo-anonymity. Which means you are given identity, but your real identity remains hidden. Now, what is the whole point of blockchain digital identity? How is it beneficial? Firstly how can we implement blockchain for digital identity?

Applying blockchain for digital identity

The very essence is going to be about the certificates being verified by the nodes. When a file (say your certificate) is uploaded on a blockchain, it is checked and okayed by the nodes that maintain the network.

This happens in a consensus. That is a general agreement between all the nodes. Even if one node does not agree with the terms, or does not verify okay, the certificate has to be checked for authenticity. 

At the same time, when your certificate is verified okay, it is stored on the blockchain with unique codes. It is tagged as authentic. It increases your credibility as a verified certificate holder. 

Importance of blockchain-verified digital certificate

When in a country not familiar to us, we would prefer using google ratings and reviews to more about a hotel, doctor or even a restaurant. However, if the concerned person is too good at marketing, the reviews may or may not be true. 

However, with blockchain, the same review is carried out only by the nodes. There is no way to bribe the nodes or add fake reviews about the site on the blockchain. Hence any hotel, doctor, or restaurant holding a blockchain verified digital certificate has higher values.

There are numerous blockchain companies in the industry. However, the one with the best teams is still a question. If you have any more doubts regarding the best blockchain firm for digital identity, post your comments below. I will get back with exciting answers. 

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
