The ReddID Profile System provides comprehensive identity management built on top of the auction infrastructure, enabling social features and cross-namespace identity.

ReddIDs are specialized identities that can span multiple namespaces, providing consistent identification, reputation tracking, and social connections throughout the Reddcoin ecosystem. They extend beyond simple identifiers to create a complete social identity framework.

The ReddID Profile System consists of several key components:

1. Profile Management: Core identity information and metadata
2. Reputation System: Metrics and scoring for trustworthiness
3. Social Graph: Connections between identities
4. Cross-Namespace Resolution: Mapping between ReddIDs and namespace-specific user IDs

Each ReddID profile includes:

• Core Identity: Primary identifier, display name, avatar, bio
• Contact Information: Optional social links and encrypted messaging capabilities
• Verification Status: Self-attested, community-verified, or officially verified
• Namespace Resolution: Links to namespace-specific identifiers
• Reputation Metrics: Multi-faceted reputation scoring

ReddIDs support various social connection types:

• Follow: One-way connection (similar to Twitter)
• Friend: Two-way, mutual connection (similar to Facebook)
• Endorse: Reputation-affecting positive connection
• Block: Negative connection for filtering interaction

The reputation system calculates trustworthiness based on multiple factors:

• Longevity: Time the account has been active
• Transaction History: Volume and patterns of transactions
• Community Engagement: Social interactions within the network
• Verification Depth: Level and quality of identity verification
• Auction Behavior: History of participation in auctions

One key feature of ReddIDs is the ability to maintain a consistent identity across multiple namespaces:

• Bidirectional Mapping: Links between ReddIDs and namespace-specific user IDs
• Priority Resolution: Consistent identity across different contexts
• Standardized Addressing: Supports formats like id@reddid or id@namespace

The ReddID Profile System is implemented through:

• ProfileManager: Handles profile creation, updates, and social connections
• Dedicated database tables for profiles, connections, and reputation
• P2P network extensions for profile data exchange
• Blockchain integration for immutable record of key identity operations
