@silverpill Distributed to which entities? Who will own those names?

This is why the blockchain must be a single entity. Every node should have ALL info if you want it to be not removable :)

@silverpill @erlend
The easiest way is something like this:

1. We have one small blockchain without coins.
2. Every server is proving their authority over their domain, and create a block in blockchain.
3. Every other node/server is checking for some key published on that server, for example server1.example/root.key AND accept that block in their copy of blockchain.
4. After that this server can create IDs in its 'namespace', signing blocks with new identities by its key.
5. Maybe every identity can have their own keypair to move from one 'namespace' to another. Even if that server1 dies.

@silverpill
But those providers must have the same synced DB.

@erlend

@silverpill Don't try to invent the wheel :)
Database must be single and replicated. And generally you should choose between PoW/PoS and PoA.

Why do you need such a system in the first place? I didn't get it.

@erlend

@silverpill > but there could be hundreds of them

And how will they interoperate?
For example, I have my own DB, you have yours. I direct my PC to resolve names from my DB, you from yours. But domains are different, even intersecting.

@erlend

@silverpill You may do this, but the people don't want any authority to "approve" their domains.

@erlend

@erlend @silverpill Yep, it is very unlikely to change. Ownership of a domain must have a price.
