Why Move to DIDComm v2?
Aligns with demos, tools, and presentations
Example/demo using DIDComm V2 & did:peer:2 (there are plans to move this to did:peer:4 instead)
Adopts handshakeless interactions (no anticipating of going back)
Eliminates criticism of protocol choice - DIDComm v2 was not created within the HL Aries project.
Cleans up historical issues with Aries.
Aligns with expanded DIDComm adoption
Example: Veramo
Please Ack question – is a ~please_ack (OUTCOME)
