Obviously there needs to be a business case made that non-expiring domain names will work. But there also needs to be a business case made for the renewal process of the theymos/nanotube design.
Time based expiry date rather than block based expiration system. Obviously registrar could remain users to renew as they had done in the earlier system. |

Then I'm confused about how else you would set up a system to arbitrarily remove a domain record from the DNS network? If you got an idea on how to implement that, I'm interested. The only system I can think of is to arbitrarily assign authority to "somebody" to take care of that issue. You could have a "voting" system perhaps that would count up requests to eliminate a domain from a majority of the network and therefore "by consensus" drop the domain. It would also provide an unneeded attack vector on the network as well as the "votes" would also be subject to some kind of manipulation that perhaps would be even worse than a trusted authority figure.
You misunderstood me. I didn't suggest anything like voting or whatever. |

Who would be given the "authority" to remove domain names? That implies central authority of some sort that has control over this network.
Domain squatting has a time honored and long tradition anyway and isn't going to change with how we are going to be running this system. By setting up a system to "delist" a domain name, it also sets up the person or group of people with presumably some private key which can in turn authorize the removal of domains as a target for receiving judicial injunctions and potentially other sorts of legal problems. If instead you can demonstrate that it is cryptographically impossible to change the domain registration information, all you can do is throw your handseddrli up and say "I can't change that, sorry".
The owner of the IP address referenced by the domain registration should be the target of attack, not the domain registration system.
You have forgotten the rule that I asserted earlier in the thread: When in doubt, remove human elements. Adopt certainty of computer software code over uncertainty of judges. Complicated rules invite gaming and abuse. Nowhere did I suggest that we should give authority to whoever, or shutting down the DNS system in favor of court/judges/messyhumanjudgement. |

We really don't want the DomainChain system saying that it will "protect" 1000 names but "refuse to protect" all the rest.
It could set some precedent for protocol change that allow people to shut down certain domains. I suspect most of the domain names will be grabbed by speculators who will ransom it to large corporations. Search engines would ignore domain names that violate certain standard of a business mark. |

Ok, his (the host) advice is definitely close to nut job advice (the bad memory advice for example)  I got similar vibes. Feel "snake oil". (However, I am not a health expert so I wouldn't know) But promotions are good, I guess. So, Bruce Wagner, do you actually listen to this national radio? |

Yes, coding need to be done soon.

When I make enough bitcoins each month, one of the first thing I will be buying is a phone from this dude.

I think your idea is better than an autoresponse because if the person sending you the email (and the bitcoin) is a friend that you want to hear from, then you can refund the bitcoin. If it is a spammer or a stalker, you've just earned the bitcoin. Yes, bitcoin adoption is a barrier, but on the other hand this could be the application that spurs mainstream adoption of bitcoin. It's no longer bitcoin the P2P cryptocurrency, it's now "Bitcoin: spam-free email" (or "Bitcoin! Get paid to read email!"). So should it be an add-on for Outlook, or a standalone bitcoin email client?
Spammy emails are a solved problem. |

Some trusted individual take BTC donations, convert, send cash in the post to WikiLeaks. No publicity, no worries, just good practical use of the currency.
Just send money to wikileak directly. |

Overall, great work guys!!! If we can get some pros/cons of each proposal down on paper, I'm prepared to up my bounty considerably and help out where I can (perhaps on forming an official DomainChain/BitDNS foundation?)
Very strange to form a foundation for DomainChain before we form an organization for Bitcoin. |

It would be a very different direction if you're looking to make money.
Better to organize a few rich libertarian donors.

I really recommend you learn how to use Illustrator, it is a wonderful program. Much more powerful than the GIMP path tool. Even so, if you want to continue using FOSS, try inkscape.
I am a linux user and I don't use expensive photo editing tool. Beside, GIMP is good enough for me. |

http://pastecoin.com/download.php?file=16 Price: 0.102 I jumped again to another download host, looking for the best deal. This time, it's forum user genjix! I have two things to complain though: 1. WHERE IS THE PREVIEW IMAGE THAT I ASK FOR? 2. 2%? You dare add them to my price? That's unexpected behavior. As for what I am doing to the art in this iteration: I am redrawing the lines to be crispy clear with a GIMP tool called Path. It is a very POWERFUL tool. Heck, I might as well draw digitally instead of scanning in artworks. Now, at the same time, I am also shading. I finally figured out how to do that by manipulating the opacity. Combined with path, they're a piece of cake. I didn't know all these thing before I started drawing for bitcoin. For those who download...Thanks for the continued baconage!

Maybe we could have a 'time-lock' of about a week or so where you claim a domain, and if half of the network decides that that domain should be in the trust they can deny that request. Once the network is more established the minimum time-lock can be reduced.
No, no, no. The DNS system should be kept as simple as possible. There will be no silly voting, or court, or any complicating shit. |

So your friend knows that he have to convert from LR to dollars before finally making a profit?
Hmm, maybe you should trade him cash for bitcoins.

There is no such thing bug-free software, and there is no such thing as weakness-free protocol.
You might plug a couple of holes by investing a lot of resources but you will never have any guarantee that there aren't any remaining.
Waiting for perfection before confronting reality is the best way not to acomplish anything at all.
It's called a surprise party. We will have a party at the deathbed of governments, while they try to furiously struggle to get out of the bed for one last confrontation. But anyway, the idea of fixing vulnerabilities, in my opinion have merit. Software quality can get better. |
