 Who needs DNS when you have peer to peer discover gateways? All I need is the IP of a gateway that tells me where all my friends are (their IPs or their proxy IP if they prefer) and then I peer with them directly. 
DNS is nice, but we don't need it.

 Yes absolutely.  That's how it is today and how it will remain forever. We are cypherpunks to the root. 

Our OS is open source and freely extendible by anyone. If someone _else_ builds some walled garden shitcoin hell on our tech, I wish them well and anyone interested can jump it. For the darknet pirate anon-maxi, they'll be able to do whatever they want without their hands tied or their identity exposed or KYC'd.
