i’m interested in this problem:

https://spacesprotocol.org/

anyone do a pros/cons analysis yet? would this be a good alternative to NIP-05 names for nostr?

Had a quick read, some good ideas, but it has renewals, which I think are an unnecessary user cost. So prefer nomen, maybe they can combine effort. NIP-05 is not bad, and nomen allows .nostr names. Can also extend DNStr. Ultimately the best way will be on-chain commitments so names can be changed and traded.

i need to read the proposal carefully still but i worry renewals make these identities not very self-soverign

Yes, same problem with ENS. Especially when they raised renewal prices massively.

agreed. the ENS DAO has too much politics/centralization for my taste

thanks for sharing nomen. i was not aware of it. i will study it closely and share my thoughts
