nip05 is associated with a domain, we do NOT need domains. Domains are centrally controlled by govs.

so are ip addressees
thats why encryption exists... so no one sees the content of the transmission. BUT with domains its so easy to target someone, you see more domains taken down than internet connections turned off. that says it all....
we've needed a decentralized domain name system for a long time
relays have domains too
It's a separate project
1. start with a TLD that no one uses
2. build up a decentralized domain name system that checkpoints to bitcoin
3. Make it very easy for people to access it using the legacy domain name system
4. Make it very easy for people to upgrade their DNS to use it
5. watch as it goes nowhere, just like namecoin
this might change with nostr after it has the first 100m Users... before that no one will care as the userbase is too small.
