Whoa! That is... what? πŸ˜‚ I want to play with that too! Link?

Truth. Christianity is not a social club. It is a complete social paradigm, worldview, and all encompassing way of life.

Whoa... that is remarkable...

Maybe Bitcoin was invented as a way to incentivize a decentralized attempt on cracking SHA-2 and is going to be used to break into government secret archives and whatnot

πŸ€” ... okay, I'm listening

The issue is that domain names are for memorability and trust, the latter of which is inherently impossible to decentralize without a peer-to-peer consensus mechanism. Like you said, it is hierarchical, and an alternative must somehow be emergent, not established.

ICANN, I believe, has a hand in authentication for registrars and coordinates them for the sake of consensus. I've been building websites for seven years now and still don't know the real global structure of the DNS system.

Dang. I hate the whole domain name captured industry now.

I have several clients with *.coach domain names, and now they're $60/yr. I got them for $20, and now I'm having to up my renewal fees. *.com and the other gTLDs are also going up a few bucks a year, some several.

This presents a real problem. How do we decentralize domain names and make ICANN obsolete?

Use should. If a chain is used it will be mined. With enough nodes mining/validating multiple chains at a time the system should remain stable. Unlikely that a chain goes down, especially with a finite number of chains like sub-1000.

Still looking into it, and I'm not sold either way, but that one's fairly clear.

I need to look into drive chains more. I've had an idea about decentralized LN nodes such that the actual node is run by many L3 sub units in a trust-mitigated manner like the actual L2 is. It's just an idea at this point, but I think it's worth considering.

Had a packed weekend but managed to get this window seat finally built. Wife painted the face and added the embellishments, touched up with copper rub-n-buff.

Looks really good, if I do say so myself πŸ‘
