I don't understand how using petnames, uuids or even a re:claimID identity (see below) could solve the problem with "rewriting history" in case a person wishes to change his or her previous _published_ name (petname, uuid...) in an archived content-addressable storage system. As a side note, other than the "petname system" please also consider re:claimID from GNUnet: https://www.gnunet.org/en/reclaim/index.html https://www.gnunet.org/en/reclaim/motivation.html [...] Regards, Giovanni.
