first tests with nostr:nprofile1qqsthdwa5rs42euhnuz5xsrmmssr84hshwes7uj392vpeldj7z0zw3cpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhszrnhwden5te0dehhxtnvdakz7varex9 NoDNS at #soveng
a Domain name without ICANN-DNS is way more valuable then sending sats around
This still needs updating though, the latest version is in the no-dns repo
hm nodns needs to sit on top of an conventional Resolver like Bind and handover nameresolution when it can't . a more human readable version for a Nostr domain would be handy
This solution can't solve the human readable part. It chooses security and decentralization over human-readable.
I believe the human readable names to be a social problem to solve. They could perfectly well resolve to an npub's no-dns records. Meaning bob.nostr might resolve to one npub for me and a different one for you based on our differing social graph.
hm that doesn't work , the name must be worldwide unique like a npub
I disagree
For uniqueness you either need to agree on a centralized authority like ICANN.
OR
Achieve global consensus by adding it to the Bitcoin blockchain. But to me, that seems expensive and unattainable for most people in the future.
I don't like either of the former solutions. I think accepting that no globally unique owner of [short name].nostr and building for that is more realistic. You can give a name weight by putting PoW towards it or by social consensus, which is how the world has operated since forever and it works quite wel... If I say 'London', you probably know what I'm talking about and which coordinates it belongs to, despite there being multiple London's out there
bolt12 sent over a nostr-resolved noDNS BIP353 static payment address
permissionless money 👏👏👏
Payment information is now part of your address, fixing 402 and making DNS irrelevant 🤌
