btw, i haven't mentioned this before, but DNN isn't reliant on DNN nodes to work (and that's pretty cool!), but it does rely on it to lessen the load on users/nostr-clients/browsers/OSs, as well as provide a similar quality of service and reliability of traditional DNS and services like Mullvad/Cloudflare for content moderation and saftey.
Having a DNN node network/system also provides many other benefits, aside from reliability, so that's another reason for its existance and value for people to run one up.
If you're wondering how it isn't reliant on a node to work:
naboutgateb > translates to block 6744 at position 2 > queries bitcoin nodes to find the specific transactions ID after applying rules > queries multiple nostr relays to find an event published with this TXID > finds it then the npub that published it to derive a bitcoin address from it > if the derived address matches the input/out of the bitcoin transaction then it's verified that this npub is the owner > print: ☑ for ID verification /or/ start fetching domain records /or/ start fetching metadata
This all would be done client-side/browser-side/OS-side without a DNN node, unreliabily, but with a node it handles all of the middle part and highly reliable.
