DNN: Decentralized Naming Network A Bitcoin-anchored naming system for nostr and the web. - Doesn't bloat Bitcoin (no data added to it). - Not a blockchain / there's no shitcoin. - Permissionless. - Censorship-resistant. - Scalable. - Cheap / no recurring payment. - Have whatever name you want and change it whenever you want. - Human-readable & human-memorable ID/address/true-name. - A lot of secondary-effect solutions and benefits that come out of this. Here's the slave ICANN site for it:
DNN
 (^ links to the readme to read about it, along with the NIP-DN and node policy) Tell me what you think. This is a draft and might not go anywhere. Decided to share it with the public early, even before talks with people. Ask any questions or share any concerns or criticisms you may have. If this turns out to be a proper solution, then I'd continue developing it, assuming I'd have funds for it, or if devs come along to help develop it.

So every name has to correspond with a bitcoin (self transfer) transaction? That seems limited in scale

From the readme 4. Publish a kind:60600 event, referencing the above and including a Bitcoin self-transfer as proof.

Well let's say it catches on and is on track to replace the 350 million or so entries in ICANN. At bitcoin's speed of roughly 7 transactions per second that would take like 1.5 years of this to the exclusion of all other transactions

Ah, ok. DNN doesn't have to replace ICANN, but it can with time assuming people like it. What you said in my eyes is good news actually. In realistic terms, people won't hop on to DNN at the same time, it'll be gradual, slowly but surely people would get a DNN name/ID (if I had to guess when it would have above 50% of the market, it'll probably be 25 to 50 years later). Though let's assume this scenario where every renter of those 350 million domains suddenly wanted to have their name on DNN, then 2 years or less of waiting (heck, 3 years why not), to move the whole of this massive legacy system to a new one, in one go, in that time frame, and then everything is done? That's fantastic and fast actually.

Thnx =3 I'd probably run a geyser campaign since it's Bitcoin focused but don't think sufficient funds will come from it. So basically this won't get developed until I can fund it myself through the success of DEG Mods (which will fund DEGA), or get an investment, or if an interested developer comes along to program it. Aside from that though, thoughts? Concerns? I'm basically seeing peoples reactions to get feedback on it and see if I'm heading in the right direct or not (for me this is a 'holy shit this is it', but basically it needs to be challenged to make sure of that).
