this might actually be dead on arrival guys :< simplifying this down. only the highest authority key really matters so treat it like its the only key that exists i think. we need a way to rotate that key without the old key having any ways of gaming the decision rules to take back control later

easrng @easrng.net

but they can make another operation that also removes their key but adds a new key they control with a higher bit pattern than yours

@nel.pet

if we cant find that then this whole thing is proooobably bunk i think?

@nel.pet

well of course one solution is to "just" say that registries will always reject the second attempt at a rotation (or do so after a timelimit just like PLC). reintroducing some degree of ordering authority again. but a distributed one. thats giving the registries a lot of authority though

@nel.pet

and theoretically the bad actor could add a bunch of registries that it controls to the DID and then still force a change over to the other rotation like that by high-jacking quorum. thats just making the system quite weak to sybil attacks. still closest thing i can think of right now to a solution
