Consider my humble raise for concern.

#paymail protocol lacks user privacy, restricts user freedom & its security is inadequate. Building on a federated model with heavy reliance on 3rd party API is archaic.

@shadders333 @connolly_dan @ryanxcharles @JamesBelding @derekm00r3 DNSSEC/ DNS-over-TLS is not a panacea, and it contains many practical issues.

Moreover why should Bitcoin tx. security depend on a centralized top down certificate hierarchy anyway, a new more robust model is possible.
@shadders333 @connolly_dan @ryanxcharles @JamesBelding @derekm00r3 Needing to trust the 3rd party #paymail provider to generate a genuine unique address is unsettling, esp. for high value transactions.

Threats from spoofing, DNS/DNSSEC/TLS vulnerabilities, service provider breach (hacker) or going rogue etc. are real.
@shadders333 @connolly_dan @ryanxcharles @JamesBelding @derekm00r3 Self-sovereign identities & on-chain data paired with SPV is a better approach.

My humble request to the SV leaders, do review #Allegory/#AllPay paper (recently revised), it holds potential.

@shadders333 @connolly_dan @ryanxcharles @JamesBelding @derekm00r3 We can collaborate & build a better alternative.
I understand, short-term capturing market share with quick-to-market 3rd party solutions & API seem enticing. But in the long run, everyone will benefit from an open identity protocol that holds user-sovereignty in high regard.
@shadders333 @connolly_dan @ryanxcharles @JamesBelding @derekm00r3 All the cool features can work directly on chain with very minimal third party involvement.

#AllPay Public mode is easily extensible for BIP-270 like functionality, and the Authorized mode security & privacy is unparalleled.
@shadders333 @connolly_dan @ryanxcharles @JamesBelding @derekm00r3 We are still in the early days of Bitcoin and we must consider better alternatives, especially since one is available.

Unwieldy Bitcoin addresses can be a thing of the past.

Also #Allegory can be readily leveraged for plenty of other applications as well, e.g micro-blogging
@shadders333 @connolly_dan @ryanxcharles @JamesBelding @derekm00r3 I believe Bitcoin SV is on the cusp of greatness, and its the right time to evaluate/ adopt a beneficial open protocol such as #Allegory/#AllPay.

Lastly, this thread is not meant to induce distress & although I am voicing an inconvenient topic, I am pro SV and ...
@shadders333 @connolly_dan @ryanxcharles @JamesBelding @derekm00r3 ... want greater adoption & growth too. I hope this is not dismissed as a subjective opinion and instead the protocol design is objectively evaluated.
