@skylar @af2 @ArdainianRight @DemonSixOne @ForbiddenDreamer @graf @Hoss On one hand, most of the websites I regularly use are stored in bookmarks, and I imagine you could probably make something like this work that way, maybe with a browser extension or something that makes the process a little more normie-friendly.
On the other, the adoption problem is the big issue, in that anyone competent enough to do something like this is already able to maintain a normal URL, albeit with the occasional downtime, and anyone competent enough to use something like this already has the TOR address of any site that might go down in a notepad file. The time to make something happen with these kinds of URLs would've been that big crypto bubble where millions upon millions of people were excited about anything blockchain.

@AmericanChampion @ArdainianRight @DemonSixOne @ForbiddenDreamer @af2 @graf @Hoss jewgle already removes chromecucks saved bookmarks for copyright infringement, that's the same shit that'll happen here
extensions that translate names will continuously get pulled from browser add-on libraries, app stores, repositories, etc. and marked as malware risks and removed by every antivirus software. they won't even be lying either: it'll be riddled with countless thousands of shitty pajeet scam/malware sites long before the trannies can even report their first nazi using it.
you'll try to send a link in chat on like any platform, only to see that the message has been blocked for spam and now your account is locked out until you type in a captcha and verify your phone number.
when the one person on the planet who actually scans QR codes does so, they'll receive a big fat warning message that it's a risky site and probably a scam.

So a centralized canonical name registry that gets us right back to where we are with dns, except with needless pubkey abstraction in the middle?

@DemonSixOne @skylar @af2 @ArdainianRight @ForbiddenDreamer @graf @Hoss I was thinking just a user-side table that lets you add sites to a list, and then select from that list. Basically a glorified bookmarks bar with a shiny coat of paint.
Back in the crypto bubble days, you could've had people 'stake' (basically just having it in your wallet and not using it on any other site at the same time) Ethereum on binding a site to a URL, and the softmax value of integral of staked money on a website would be used to tell users at a glance how legit it was. For example, if I have a site 'cat.blockchain', and I've had roughly $10,000 in Ethereum allocated to making this site as the most legit owner of that URL for a year, while a few other guys have intermittently put up $100 or so to tie their own sites to the URL for shits and giggles, a user entering 'cat.blockchain' into whatever web3 app was used for navigation here would say:
> Go to <Ame's wallet address>'s cat.blockchain? (97% owner)
> Go to <random guy's address>'s cat.blockchain? (0.5% owner)
> ...
Would've been relatively clean and straightforward, but the demographic of people who are techy enough to use non-standard URLs but non-techy enough not to just use Tor was a bit of a flash in the pan.

@DemonSixOne @AmericanChampion @skylar @af2 @ArdainianRight @ForbiddenDreamer @Hoss people want the 'wild west' internet of the 90s so lets go

@AmericanChampion @skylar @af2 @ArdainianRight @ForbiddenDreamer @graf @Hoss So in theory I could make a scam copy of "cat.blockchain" and then put $20k on it and proceed to steal the user information and passwords to damage the site's reputation?
