Me too ari

ALFIS is kinda somewhat maybe a solution to that but it sure has its flaws

arimelody.me•72 days ago

the fact that the only somewhat-passing implementations available are blockchain-based is heartbreaking to me

astrra.space•72 days ago

YES

Aren't ENS and Unstoppable Domains decentralized? Just asking. I don't know if they are.😅

arimelody.me•73 days ago

the latter at least seems to fit that description, yeah. unfortunately it seems to be just regular domain registration but on the blockchain

mizuta.bsky.social•73 days ago

😉So, not what you meant? 😊

arimelody.me•73 days ago

not quite the mark, no! ;p

mizuta.bsky.social•73 days ago

😓 Ok… I was trying to help 😅

jtp.bsky.social•73 days ago

been sitting here for the past 5 minutes trying to imagine how this might work and i got nothing

arimelody.me•73 days ago

tragically the only implementation of this i've ever seen has been on the blockchain

jtp.bsky.social•73 days ago

i don't know why i'm even bothering to ask cuz i already know the answer, but did it do anything different from icann in a way that improved anything about it? or was it just icann but worse

arimelody.me•73 days ago

it's been a really long time since i looked at it, but i think it was basically NFTs but for domain ownership. i have no idea how authoritative DNS works in this context

jtp.bsky.social•73 days ago

so like, you buy a domain and get to own it. just like icann. but on the block chain.

arimelody.me•73 days ago

yeah that seems to be it

i can't find more dense information on this atm because most people talking about this are crypto and finance bros. not like, y'know. actual network engineers

gatorzvr.bsky.social•73 days ago

onion networks?
