Decentralized DNS (and other stuff)

 Thanks for the info! 

 For the DNS part it reuses the bittorrent mainline network, which is very clever.  In retrospect it seems obvious, but no one thought of it until now.  That has 20+ million nodes and 15 year track record.  It is almost impossible to censor. 

 Need to do some research. Insofar all I know is that clients get a .torrent file or magnet link which is used to download / seed some data files.  

 If it switches to ed25519 keys it can leverage Mainline DHT.  There are no DHTs that support secp256k1 key and if you bootstrap one, it will probably stay as small as the number of relays, because these are the entities willing to run infrastructure in the first place. 

 It doesnt need to switch.  Just each key signs the other one.  It's trivial, 10x easier than NIP-05.   

 yes but clients who don't know you by your pubky, will not see your cross signing unless they can resolve your nostr profile.

but maybe that is OK if it only needs to be done once. 

 The pubky is in the profile, so every client sees it.  It's way easier than NIP-05 which every client already does.   

 Yes, why not?
