I think the answer we're looking for is Polaris did not make it. Sorry man. I think Pakistan is having an electrical grid problem so thanks. You sound like a rubber band bummer.
your face looks good
What's up, I'm thinking how you been?
I'm doing okay. I'm excited to be here.
The class you should just plug into the chat and we'll, we'll replicate anything you say verbally if that's okay with you. I think it might be more reasonable.
So you're welcome to jump in like I don't know what main chat in Ontology discord maybe and I'll just monitor that I got my laptop up next day. But Humpty you're here this is your first Harvanger now for this space. I think it is. I'd like to think that I've been here
before, but I can't say I remember. I mean, at some point you have been doing something with this account. There's no doubt. Like, I did ever, but you know, it used to be called DID Summit and it was an account that I put together for hosting.
You know, Twitter spaces with people that were building in the decentralized identity space and It became Harvigival after you and Polaris kind of started Running with kind of this idea of building out a dow around decentralized identity, so

So I kind of wanted to, since we're here and we're doing what we usually do, which is the Web 3 and Show, we talk about what we want, also hello to A-Hon.
And if you want to come up and talk about anything, you're welcome to do that. Just request to speak at any time. I'm not going to put the pressure on you though. So, you know, I'll hit the button if you do first. We usually pick a topic and then loosely discuss whatever sort of flows around that. And this time I just wanted to put the word identity up there and see what anybody had to say about it. Because, you#
