Would love your thoughts on my enhancement to NIP-5A and the Titan browser I made.

What makes it functionally different than btc.us and ENS? From what I read it looks like its just names on a blockchain

No alt coins, it’s built on top of the already existing nsite v2 stack, the browser is compatible with existing nsites and incredibly fast, you only need a wallet with op return to participate. I saw STX on the site you listed and got skeptical.

I think the gateways are an unnecessary and clunky step. They work, but why not remove that DNS dependent step completely? Having a browser that works directly with npubs or permanent names that resolve to an npub makes everything less dependent on DNS.

That makes sense, and the gateways for nsite are just mainly for launching the idea and making it easily accessible. The end goal is native support and or native browser integration. But just claiming names on a blockchain isn't going to fix the naming issue, because like we have seen with btc.us and the many ENS clones. Someone will just invent to next naming system. Also all naming systems introduce another issue of an oracle that can lie (or require KYC) in a similar way that DNS does. Anyways, I'm not convinced it will work. But I'm willing to be proven wrong

> The end goal is native support and or native browser integration. Did you happen to see the demo video for the browser I made? It does this. > Also all naming systems introduce another issue of an oracle that can lie (or require KYC) in a similar way that DNS does. What I designed is a protocol. There’s no KYC anything. It’s just first on chain gets the name forever unless they trade it. Don’t need to overthink the trading part either. Here’s the specific part of the README that covers it:

> Anyways, I'm not convinced it will work. But I'm willing to be proven wrong I’m not sure what the concern is with it. There’s no central issuer or anything like that. Anyone can scan the blockchain for an “NSIT” op return to see what utxo controls a name and what npub the name points to. I think there’s something here. Even without the naming convention I came up with.
