If I have to, I will port ENS to Ubiq blockchain and make a .fedi TLD. Then it will be trustless and cheap.

@Moon I think what ENS really needs right now is traditional DNS entries like A, AAA, and CNAME.

@Moon Focusing on IPFS and Tor only is trying to solve too many problems at once. If we just solved the domain name problem, it would help increase adoption of blockchain domains. Then we could use them to solve the IP address problem.

@alex @Moon The only problem is email servers, XMPP servers, fedi instances, etc having to configure their DNS settings to federate with the servers on non-ICANN domains.

@alex I can simulate them, use the URL field for CNAME and it's possible to encode both an ipv4 and ipv6 IP address simultaneously in the contenthash field.

@xianc78 @Moon The fact Brave already supports ENS by default is extremely promising. We can just tell users “use Brave to access our site.” Win-win. If they’ve already solved it there, we can solve it on the server level.But we need to be able to point ENS at an IP address for any of this to work.

@alex @xianc78 the unfortunate thing is that ENS has a URL field but not an "ip address field". in another post I mentioned that I can still do it, but I am 100% sure that Brave wouldn't recognize it.

@alex @xianc78 I don't understand what they were thinking when they made something that they wanted to work similarly to DNS but doesn't map to DNS at all.

@alex @xianc78 I guess nothing is stopping me from proposing to them how I see it working. Basically, the "contenthash" field supports a super-flexible format that, typically is only used for IPFS CIDs, but can also hold a binary format that contains both an IPv4 and IPv6 address simultaneously. I've been investigating this precisely because I want to close the gap and make ENS useful to us. Right now the official ENS website can only put IPFS and Swarm URLs in there.The field wasn't meant to hold an IP address, but the format they used supports it so I am gonna pester some people to see if they think it's a good idea.

@Moon @xianc78 @alex @guizzy Looking into https://app.ens.domains/faq and it says that yes, you can add IP addresses to the record, but "there aren't many third party tools and applications which resolve IP addresses attached to ENS."So as long as your server doesn't change your IP too often, you should be good.

@alex @xianc78 @Moon ENS has centralized governance so if it ever gains wide adoption it will likely suffer from censorship too. Also Brave browser doesn't run local ethereum node, it just uses eth.link gateway from Cloudflare. So it's even less censorship resistant than DNS but much more fragile.I think if you want full control over your name, there's no real alternative to public-key based name systems like .onion

@Moon @alex @xianc78 I think they can prevent you from renewing your name. But they promise to not "unfairly discriminate against name owners’ ability to extend, transfer, or otherwise use their names" in their constitution docs.ens.domains/v/governance/ens-dao-constitution

@silverpill @alex @xianc78 I just checked the contracts for base registrar and registrar controller and there's no facility built into them that can restrict registration or renewal. They have the ability to force migration to a new contract, which would be very painful, but they could do that yeah.

@silverpill @Moon @xianc78 We can fork ENS and prevent the contract from being replaced. It’s an option. We don’t have that option on DNS. These are solvable problems. DNS can’t be fixed.

@alex @Moon @xianc78 We can fork ENS but we can't fork all the infrastructure built around it. I'm not arguing that DNS can be fixed. It's broken for exactly the same reason, you can't just fork ICANN and hope that everyone will follow.On the other hand, public-key based identities do not require formal governance, they are usually free to use and anonymous. And human readability issue can be solved with a petname system (like a phonebook) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petname

@silverpill @Moon @xianc78 I get your point, but blockchain domains are 10x better than the ICANN. We have to advance, and this is the path.There’s currently no path for key based identities. There could be, but there isn’t yet.

@Moon @alex @xianc78 Onions are the most viable option, but unfortunately they are very slow. My favourite network is Yggdrasil (yggdrasil-network.github.io/) where each node receives a public IPv6 address and all communications are encrypted so there's no need for HTTPS. It's still experimental (only ~2500 nodes) and it's not clear how well it will scale.Ideally, instances should be able to communicate with each other via different transports and switch automatically if one of them fails.
