How to get SQRL bootstrap to the Internet.

[coffeeprogrammer]

So here is a thought, what does everybody else on these forums think would happen if we contacted the organizations that host the sites we use most often and asked for support for SQRL as a login technology?

As a SN listener, I never really worked out how SQRL works, but if I were going to use it I would want some documentation that I could slowly read and understand, just like with passkeys. I am sure there is video of it being explained, but I find it better to be able to read and reread to fully understand.

My point here is that I am wondering what would happen if SN listeners started contacting sites asking to support SQRL? Would that be enough to bootstrap SQRL as a common authentication method on the web? If a large number of website like walmart, linkdin, hulu or amazon and perhaps other more regional sites such as your local medical providers or a bank portal? Just an idea to get SQRL bootstrapped to the Internet.

You're almost half a decade late to the party, LOL. We tried that, when it was new... you can see the results it generated. At this point it's beyond too late because it appears Steve himself has given up. But if you have the spare cycles, I guess what would it hurt... just don't let your feelings get hurt when they ignore you.

What it needed desperately was a working product that had some significant uptake. Like if someone had created a version of something that was SQRL first. But for that to have happened, someone needed to take the process of getting the IETF to issue a standard for SQRL, and while there were efforts made, they petered out before any significant success was achieved.
