Keep moving. ;)

I'm in..

TaPOS rox hard ..

Good news.

Interested.

..  :D

Interested

good job!

This is going in great direction. Every day there is more and more decentralized technologies that improves our lives and makes it easier.

Great work and keep it up!  ;)

+5%

This looks like a very promising project, what's your best guesstimate eta in Q2? April, May or June?

The optimist in me says mid-May. I'm gonna avoid making any promises.

I'll repost a bit of what I said on the Bitshares forum:

To add to that I think it clear that the direct to consumer route for a DNS system will not work. Namecoin tried this and failed. Bitcoin users might be interested to install the software, but the other 99% percent of the consumer base won't care enough to install some plugins for some obscure domain name system. You can beat the network effect of the system the entire internet uses.

This would be my strategy if I was running Bitshares DNS:

1) Create Bitshares DNS to spec
2) Create a traditional company
3) Have that company create APIs that allow easy support with legacy DNS systems.
4) Make tons of money selling the APIs to the Bitshares DNS. You reduce the workload of backbone providers by 90%. Blockchain based DNS system solved:

• Domain Squatting
• DNS Poisoning
• Long DNS Propagation Times
• No need for specialized hardware anymore. Just needs to be able to run the Bitshares Client.
• Eliminates downtime and censorship

5) Suddenly now everyone supports the system with no effort on the part of the users

This. Is. Awesome.

hi , good job sound really well, i traduced to spanish ,,, but not find a fastway to add like subtitles , so i think better write in here directly.


Hola, somos Nikolai(Toast) & Daniel (ByteMaster) y estamos aquí para presentarles BITSHARES DNS o Domain Shares ,,, aquí os dejo con Toast para que os presente las características,,,
Hola, a continuación veremos las diferencias entre bitshares DNS a la izquierda y Namecoins a la derecha. Empecemos comparando el modelo de seguridad de ambos sistemas, vemos que Namecoin usa algoritmo POW el cual tiene un consumo energético elevado para los mineros, por esto el precio de la shares va subiendo, lo cual repercute a largo plazo en que los stake holders al sacar mas vendiendo las shares que guardándolas el sistema tiende a encogerse, empequeñecerse.
Por el contrario Bitshares usa un modelo de transacción de seguridad T.a POS proof of stake, no necesita super rigs o mineros dedicados ni super gráficas, consumiendo una mínima parte de energía que namecoin. Básicamente la red de mineros tiene un gran ahorro de mantenimiento gracias a el uso de T.a POS lo cual repercute positivamente en el rendimiento / dividendos que recibirán los mineros/stakeholders.
A esto lo llamaremos ventas; Namecoin tiene price fix domain sales, usan un precio fijo para todos los dominios, cuestan por ejemplo 0.01 o 0.2 btc cada dominio para todos los user, es decir no puedes vender por lo que quieras. Bithshares DNS usa un sistema de SUBASTA , con lo cual tu puedes vender tus dominios mas demandados por una buena cantidad, que a su vez también repercutirá en un aumento de ingresos por comisión o dividendos para la red. Pues bien ahora vamos a sumar esos parámetros y vemos la productividad de ambos sistemas para sus inversores y la rentabilidad de sus shares, Bitshares DNS aumenta el valor de sus shares y namecoin lo disminuye.
Me gustaría hablaros un poco del sistema de gestión económico de bitshares DNS lo común es que el inversor compre una gran cantidad de dominios baratos con la esperanza de venderlos después a un precio de 1 millón de dolares en subasta  por ejemplo, es mejor para todos. Otra consideración NO técnica es saber como se financian ambos proyectos, en el caso de Namecoin su financiación proviene de de pequeñas donaciones, webmaster con interés concretos, traders de dominios. Bitshares DNS usa Angel Shares para financiar los diferentes subproyectos  que han de ser desarrollados, el dinero total esta listo para ser usado al momento. Cualquiera puede adquirir una opción para cualquier nombre de dominio que este disponible, por ejemplo google.com , entonces el primero que compra el dominio paga por ejemplo una cantidad X, la cual va completa para la red, al tiempo quiere vender el dominio lanza la subasta y saca 2X, de esta cantidad X+10% sera para el vendedor y X-10% para pagar dividendos a la red. Así vemos como va creciendo el valor de las opciones en el tiempo, de llegar a un precio demasiado elevado que nadie quiere pagar el vendedor podria recrear la opción igual pero por un precio menor. Otra de las características del sistema es que no se pagan tasas/fees por las ventas de las opciones ni por los repartos internos, no hay necesidad de crear la opción todos los años.
Nicolai es el desarrollador con el que estamos trabajando estos días, el a implementado la mayoría de los últimos avances ,,,,, Si soy profesional titulado , pero mi diversión esta con este leguaje así que para mi es un placer poder desarrollar con invictus innovations.
Nicolai esta abstrayendo los primeros protocolos para la creacion de DACs, asi que os estaremos informando estos días de las primeras novedades. Si quereis saber mas no dudeis en visitar bitshares.org ,,,,, Un saludo de Nicolai y Daniel.

Thanks! I'll put it in the OP

Looking forward  :)

 :Dgood job

f***ing great stuff ...

This looks interesting. What are the advantages to Namecoin  ?
Not sure I understand how Bitshare DNS solve the problems of Domain Squatting ?

+1!

another vision

How does your proposal deal with the scenario of a company, lets call companyA, who is a very large, rich, hostile company and we also have companyB, a small company who is a new competitor to comapanyA?  Wouldnt companyA just constantly disrupt companyB's DNS operations by buying companyB's DNS out on auctiont?  CompanyA would have a very large incentive to do so, and companyB may not be able to afford to fight it.

Interesting. Let's see where this goes.

Because its an aucion and subjected to being auctioned off at anytime to someone willing to pay more than you did.  Though when this happens you do get wht you paid for it plus a tiny bit more returned to you.

From watching the video, companyB would have to create an auction for their domain in order for others to bid on it. If they wanted to keep their domain they would simply not auction it and have it indefinitely. My question is how do you claim your domain name to begin with? Does every new domain get auctioned to the highest bidder? If that is the case then the scenario above is a very real threat.

if companyB is the owner, but the system relies on companyB to put the domain up for auction, then people can squat just like in namecoin.

What?
Initially nobody owns it. An auction starts. Suppose company B wins. Now the don't have to sell it to company A no matter what. They don't have to start an auction.
Now suppose instead company A wins the initial auction. Too bad, company A owns it.

ok i misunderstood the video then.  Since the video mentioned that the mechanism forced the network to determine the true market value of a name, then I thought that your mechaism to prevent squatting was that anyone could start an auction for it at any time, and the network would then be able to determine the market value that way, with some proceeds being returned to the previous owner to reimburse for their previous purchase.

That was why I thought a hostile company with loads of money would just grab a competitors name.  But if the reality that if you win the initial auction then the name is yours perm, then whats to keep everyone from immediately jumping in as soon as this feature is released and just grabbing tons of names for purposes of squatting?  Sure, its an auction then, but what about future companies that want the name?  Wouldnt this still be squatting?

Initial Distribution?
50/50 AGS/PTS holdings at not-yet-decided snapshot date

Does this mean that only people who hold AGS/PTS can get this？

This is squatting at a *much larger opportunity cost* because you are not earning dividends on the DNS you trade away in exchange for those names or speculating on other names (which is a lot of DNS, you buy them at full price).

Worst case company B who is "unworthy" of owning company.p2p (why are we questioning their ownership anyway? there is no way to avoid SOME kind of land rush...) bought it first but then don't do anything with it and won't sell it at a reasonable price then company A just buys something else. It's like those little old ladies who won't sell their houses in Manhattan. They won't make more off of it than the $75,000,000 they'd get for their lot, we can't really stop that.

right, I did see that as the case.  I guess that is about as good as a situation that is possible.  cool stuff, good luck

Just launched an info site: http://nmushegian.github.io/dns/

Great Ill check it out

Another iteration on the website, this time with much more information. Update OP as well.

So basically this will be a Name Squatting Battlefield Paradise (NSBP).

Because either you get outbid by someone else and thus win some small profit, or you win the bid and plan to make a even greater profit by reselling it.

Your only hope as a developer is that the squatters will fight each other so much that it won't be profitable for the last one, or that it will be expansive to squat a lot of domain names.

My prediction is that it will be a big bubble rush and then people will end up with names that they don't even use.

Question 1 : How will you redistribute the paid money to the network, is it by destroying the coins ?
Question 2 : Will you register a TLD (Top level domain) so that people just have to type the address in their browser ? Because otherwise it's prone to failure ! Unfortunately a TLD is quite expansive and is regulated.

I agree with you about the rush at the start. I think you will see names "bubble up" and then bounce around their perceived market price until someone who can actually make use of that name at that price comes along and snatch it up. The hope is that squatters and ninjas (grabbing expired domains) are faced with a high, concrete opportunity cost.

Correct. The DAC's unit of account is one BIP, or one billionth of the total share supply. So the share supply would be constantly decreasing while your functional balance would be constantly increasing.
No, we will bypass the existing system entirely. Adoption phases are roughly: manual configuration, friendly browser extension (some 3rd party "killer app"), native browser support.


Great questions, thanks for your post.

In recent times I've been very interested in this area (distributed naming systems) and several days ago I collected all my ideas into an article. I think you might be interested. Here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=596453) is the link to the bitcointalk discussion.

If you hold BitShares PTS (formerly known as Protoshares) in your wallet 21th August

you will be given a stake in both BitShares Vote (https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=6508) and BitShares DNS (https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=6509).

When BitShares Vote and BitShares DNS launch, you import your BitShares PTS wallet's private key to receive your stake in each (instructions will be given).

This means that you should retain control of the BitShares PTS wallet until Vote and DNS launches.
This means that only the amount of BitShares PTS you held in your wallet at 21th of August will matter to how much stake you get in Vote and DNS.

Also note that this means that BitShares PTS price will fall immediately after August 21th,
as everyone who bought BitShares PTS just to get a stake in Vote and DNS will be free to sell their PTS.

Also note that BTER and BTC38 will take snapshot of your PTS for you, to make it easier for users,

good

bitshares DNS to the moon

BitShares DNS will create competition for domain registrars. The .p2p extensions will scream decentralization.

Looking forward to its release！Probably it's gonna bring a revolution to the current internet 8)   

What's going on with this?  (Bitshares DNS)

Where's the main ANN?

How many Bitshares DNS coins are there total now, and how many could there be eventually?

theres 5 billion, they were awarded based on the most recent PTS snapshot in August, coins distributed within the past few days.
theyre traded as DNS on poloniex & bter
visit bitsharestalk.org most of the conversation is there under the forum category "KeyID"
