Oddbean new post about login | logout i’m interested in this problem: https://spacesprotocol.org/ anyone do a pros/cons analysis yet? would this be a good alternative to NIP-05 names for nostr?
That can never scale as much as we'll need if we're serious about replacing DNS, so it's pointless to try. But of course some people will try and have a lot of fun and make a lot of bold claims for many years.
have you seen any proposed solutions you’re drawn to as possibly interesting directions? any strawman ideas to spitball?
My preferred solution involves creating a so-called "spacechain" -- a parallel blockchain dedicated to this that relies on Bitcoin and don't have any shitcoins in it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2ow4Q34Jeg (specifically I want them without the burning, but that is irrelevant). There are many possible ways, none yet possible in the current Bitcoin, unfortunately. I made a prototype that worked on signet: https://github.com/nbd-wtf/soma, but this was a long time ago, and I thought we were close to getting APO on Bitcoin 4 years ago, but how naïve I was. The question of preventing namesquatting I think can be handled gracefully by just releasing shorter name availabilities slowly, with a fixed predetermined schedule -- kinda like Runes did with the names of their shitcoins.
Had a quick read, some good ideas, but it has renewals, which I think are an unnecessary user cost. So prefer nomen, maybe they can combine effort. NIP-05 is not bad, and nomen allows .nostr names. Can also extend DNStr. Ultimately the best way will be on-chain commitments so names can be changed and traded. https://dnstr.org/
i need to read the proposal carefully still but i worry renewals make these identities not very self-soverign
Yes, same problem with ENS. Especially when they raised renewal prices massively.
I don’t see what this offers that ordinals and inscriptions don’t beyond not being associated with the word
i’ve seen the satslash addition to ordinals to attempt to solve DNS routing. is that an approach you like or is there something else in the ordinals/inscriptions ecosystem i should know about?
