They said it was impossible! But, as of today we have de-facto solved a long-standing problem in computer science. And that is of decentralized global naming, that is human readable, and fair.

1. Register a name on the bitcoin block chain, on a first-come, first-served basis

2. Name is in an OP_RETURN and human readable

3. That name has an npub associated with it.

4. The npub publishes the name to nostr relays, and also has a pubky

5. The name is globally resolvable using pubky protocol, and has bittorrent level censorship resistance

A truly censorship-resistant, human-readable, naming system that includes decentralized DNS. Quite an achievment!

It's not a good idea to trust human readable names. Humans could be easily deceived with false names.

We should not recreate similar problems that ICANN has nowadays.

We should just trust pubkeys/npubs. Web of Trust is the way to go, in my opinion.
