Funnily enough, this made me realize how amazing DNN is, not DNN itself but the idea behind it: Cleanly, harmlessly, and effeciently anchoring nostr identity to Bitcoin that results in unlimited application/usecase possibilities.
At first I was amazed "holy shit is the ICANN-DNS problem solved?", and in the past two days I've realized "holy mega-shit this extends beyond solving ICANN-DNS". DNN is just the first application/usecase/solution in this system.
This also means, to a degree, there's no need for a lot of alt blockchains to exist, so this isn't a threat to Bitcoin, this is actually a potential threat to a large number of alt blockchains...
But I'll only be focusing on DNN for now and make that the best that it can be and try my best to have high adoption with it so that people don't need to worry about ICANN-DNS (and SSL/TLS) anymore. Others could figure out other services with this now discovered system, which... let's call it 'Cross-Protocol Anchoring'.
A process that connects a key from an identity protocol (e.g., a npub in Nostr) to a key in an anchor protocol (e.g., a Bitcoin address) to produce a verifiable connection record within the anchor protocol. This connection record can then be used as a deterministic reference point to tie application-specific data under the identity protocol, without modifying the anchor protocol itself or adding any new data to it.
This probably needs a document or whitepaper or something to be written for it. Hopefully I'll remember and find the time to do that x3
