I like DomainChain as well.
I would also argue against any particularly special attachment to bitcoins, what would the purpose of that be except to hopefully promote bitcoin? I prefer to allow it to be a separate market in it's own right. With people able to pay for domains from those who've managed to generate them using whatever payment method they want to agree on.
Do we have a wiki yet?
Where the incentive for generators to get paid? On the other hand, it won't be limited right? It will be a unique name of some kind.

+1 on DomainChain or BitRegister over BitDNS (no offense kiba ) Bleg. All I need to do is change the name. In any case, do ribuck and RHorning have any inkling on what you guys agree on and how to implement the protocol? The faster some things that are agreed on, the more code we can do.

Exactly. The domain name block chain.
Anyway, I have registered domainchain.org, in case people like it. I think DomainChain better-explains what's going on than BitDNS. But I won't object if people prefer another name.
What software are you using for the site?

Before we go too far down the track, can we agree on a project name? I'm uneasy about BitDNS, because we aren't writing a Domain Name Server. How about BitDomains, or DomainChain?
It's easy for me to change the name of the git project, whatever you decide. Still BitDNS is catchy.

Yes, the core developers should be focused on the network and the protocol.
I am making it my project to write a BitDNS client. I don't need the bitcoins. I just want to help so that the core developers can focus on the important stuff.

Economy / Economics / Principles I discover/thought of

These the are principles that I discovered/believed govern...bitcoin.
1. Certainty rule. It is better to have have predictable simple rules over complicated and uncertain rules that can be gamed or justified away. Human judges are worse than computer programs since they can be bribed, feel with irrational emotions, and prone to logical reasoning failure. Algorithms have no hidden feeling, especially when we can inspect it.
2. Least Violence.
Incentive structure should be devised to keep scammer and baddies in check. However, we won't raise hell to confiscate bitcoins and other goodies. People don't die in bitcoin transactions.
If we raise hell, we have a court system, which violated the Certainty rule. Then we must have police force to take down the scammer and confiscate his bitcoins/goodies. That send a strong signal to bitcoiners to be reckless and careless with their money because they can alway use force to get it back. That's bad for the rule of law.
Your thoughts?

I suggest tahoe lafs if you are looking for a database for storage.
Remember, speed is of the essence. We can alway replace the database with something else, but not time. All non-essential features should be blocked from implementation focus. That mean the core developers don't work on a fancy GUI. They will focus on: 1. The mechanism to mine, register, and change a domain name. 2. The mechanism to distribute or output the DNS database.

For the love of god, do you want another war?
Two wars that cost a lot of money, then we get social security liabilities(entitlement) to worry about. Then we got this security and military industrial complex to worry about.
