 Yes centralization and censorship are the issues/

“Encryption as identity” is our phrase for systems that use public/private keypairs to communicate, and not centralized DNS.  This includes Nostr names.  

We reject government DNS as legitimate and promote:

1) Nostr. Nostr does use DNS for the nodes, but these nodes can be transitioned to Tor onions, which is going to be supported by the Gossip client in this new year.

2) Tor Onions
Our .Onion for Tor Browser:

2) Session as a distribution platform.  This is blockchain based ID

 TOR onion addresses are no better than IP addresses, in fact worse, in terms of convenience and ease of remembering. IPFS does not work in practice. Unstoppable domains are also based on a centralized contract, you’re choosing between government control or private company control, which is no better than ICANN. 
 Tor Onions can be copy and pasted to avoid censorship.

Our IPFS website works right now, go look at it.

It's true that the website interface for Unstoppabledomains.com is a private firm, but it's on Polygon and can't be modified to take-down. 
 I want to see some NOSTR I2P servers (but which also is visible on the clearnet/normal internet)
