DID BTCR2 JS

did:btcr2 is a censorship resistant DID Method using the Bitcoin blockchain as a Verifiable Data Registry to announce changes to the DID document. It improves on prior work by allowing: zero-cost off-chain DID creation; aggregated updates for scalable on-chain update costs; long-term identifiers that can support frequent updates; private communication of the DID document; private DID resolution; and non-repudiation appropriate for serious contracts.

did:btcr2 is created for those who wish to have it all:

• resistance to censorship;
• non-correlation through pairwise DIDs;
• private communication of the DID document;
• a closed loop on private DID resolution;
• efficiency (in cost and energy usage), via offline DID creation and aggregatable updates;
• long-term identifiers that can support frequent updates; and
• Non-Repudiation appropriate for serious contracts.
