Subnostr

Hm... got people who zap me fine, my LN custodian on this npub is on coinos, i guess it didn't find a route? (or coinos is busted at this time?)

Plan for ICANN-DNS: Attack on all fronts:

- Daemon a user can install

- Browser extension

- Custom forks of existing browsers to add support for it

- Start contacting to have multiple nostr clients utilize it (since that is its second use, a proper nip-05, user relay discovery, and the reintroduction of username/password evolved)

- Create a bunch of buzz (marketing effort)

- Start contacting multiple bitcoin wallets to utilize it (I realized this week that my solution (DNN) inadvertently solved a particular issue with bitcoin)

- Start contacting teams that develop linux distros to add resolves to it by default in their packages, since linux adoption is rising (I'd say linux would hit 20% to 30% of the market by 2050 from my guess)

- Start contacting the Brave team (Brave browser) to have them implement support for it in their browser to resolve it (aside from them finding it interesting and beneficial to their users, since said team likes freedom/privacy/ownership/etc, I'd also be presenting them with points to their benefits that would take take users from other browser to them = increasing their rates of browser dominance)

- Assuming success so far, millions (hundreds of millions) of users now has access to freedom domains, and because of the two points above, it'll trigger market-competitive dynamics, resulting in a domino effect of adoption/implementations in other browsers and OSs

Basically the proper actual success for DNN, in regards to adoption, is with the Brave route as the first rank, and Linux distros route coming in second.

I have a gut feeling coinos will rug me at any moment. Working terribly as of late.

Love the plan. An insignificant amount of people will install the browser extension or daemon. If the tech is more or less sound, marketing is what should take the most effort. (Brave, Linux distros, integration is part of it too)

What pushbacks are you expecting from them?

i'm not following, is there a consensus on "fixing DNS" in the nostr-sphere?

I'm assuming the pushback will be "Why DNN? Why not X or Y or Z" and so on.

I have the answers to pretty much all of them / what I think are all the questions (building up a doc with all the pros and cons of each of the past DNS alt solutions and pointing out where DNN doesn't have their issues and how DNN provides even more benefits).

There isn't a consensus as far as I'm aware about the DNS and IANA stuff yet in the nostr-sphere, aside from there being the nsite solution and a similar one before that, though what's happening after that is what I'm making with DNN (human-meaningful/usable IDs/TLDs chained to npubs that then resolve records nostr events), and 'noDNS' by nostr:npub1hw6amg8p24ne08c9gdq8hhpqx0t0pwanpae9z25crn7m9uy7yarse465gr (npub string that resolve records nostr events under a .nostr TLD).

The upcoming Soverign Engineering event (SEC-07) is specifically about tackling it / the DNS issue and more (sadly I'll most likely not be able to attend it, unfortunate since what I made is basically 'it' , along with the purpose of SEC-06 as well. I'm thinking of doing a digital version of the event in a game called VRChat, for people such as myself, and in general this is an idea I've been juggling around with for all nostr type events / tested it out a few months ago and it was neat =3)

(Side note: Arjen and others are also tirelessly working on something called Tollgate, which is (from my pov) mesh internet+nostr+ecash/cashu, and on a long-enough period could be a paralel internet / alternative to IANA (as n IPs), and DNN is prepped for the hopeful distant future).

With that said, I'll carrying on developing DNN, as I truly believe it has the best shot out there compared to all past and current attempts at solving the ICANN-DNS problem, and start contacting more promonent nostr devs to share their thoughts on it and see if they'd integrate support for it in their clients as I showcase its benefits, which there are many (including solving the relay discovery issue), with ready demos showing the magic (already demo-ed it a few times and the reactions has been pretty much positive).
