Suggestion: DID's should have a unique and case sensitive description field

Open CaptainStevey opened this issue 6 years ago • 4 comments

Given that DIDs are case sensitive, it would be nice to be able to verify if you are sending to the correct DID.

I.e, I want to send 1000 ETP to Chen Hao, but I'm not sure if his DID was Betachen or betachen. If there was a way to check his description it may help, especially if it contained an authentication code. A user could also consider this a double layer of confirmation to ensure there are no case screw ups in future. This would be a unique field so people couldn't copy it exactly.

As did supports the naming rules of email accounts, it is case-sensitive. When you send ETP to other did, you should check it carefully. In the future, we will authenticate the did, you can send to the authenticated did.

Ah mistake at the start of my comment. What will be the authentication method out of interest?

I still think you're leaving yourself open for issues in the future by not having the unique note field to put in some kind of PGP or other verification/note.

I think we should make the avatar names case insensitive for future avatars to avoid confusion
