 Havent ready it all.  But how do you get a short name, what's the tie-breaker if two keys want one short name.

I think pubky is very sensibly only tackling one thing at a time.

And how is the DNS done?  Is it censorship resistant? 
 It's a blockchain trying to enforce a single namespace... but okay, nostr can use the vast zeronet network and blockchain tech instead i guess 🙃  
 Unrelated, but are you two brothers? 
 Independent research confirms that John and Melvin are not related. They just happen to share lastname. 
 It uses BitTorrent, site updates are done using keys. I haven’t looked into it too much, but just sounded similar 
 Got it:

> ZeroNet will then use the BitTorrent network to find peers that are seeding the site and will download the site content (HTML, CSS, JS...) from these peers.

But that is the whole site, not the DNS record, so probably wont work too well.

Nice effort tho, thanks for the share! 
 It probably uses BEP44 then. Pkarr does too, but just takes the public key and use it as the address. No more complexity.
