[namecoin] new concept of domain names alltogether possible?

[speedybugsy]

with the emergence of distributed dns's such as namecoin, could the fundamental logic of domains be redefined alltogether?

could a url be made to look like this?:

protocol://space.subspace1.subspace2.subspace3/folder/file?=POST_DATA

with 'space' being the domain name and the idea of TLD's and country name suffixes dropped entirely?


I'm writing this because I had a science ficticious hallucination last night and a white-bearded guy with a pointed hat and an e-cigar told me the domain name system was gonna be renamed to 'space name system' (SNS) and that those www.'s and dot-something's were gonna be a thing of the past.

I also saw something about desktops disappearing and 3d nodebrowsers...uh never mind

Were you smoking bitcoins on a bit pipe?

dude.. don't ask

That's a rather powerful spell to use on something as trivial as that.

It's actually more consistent to start with the top level names on left unlike the current domain name system.

protocol > top level name > subspaces > folders > file
(everything neatly in order)

When surfing using namecoins we could use a different protocol identifier like nc:// or sns:// ?

I saw the same dude, speedybugsy, holding a fresh pot of bitbrew: http://bitbrew.net/

Huh? Spell? What do you mean?

subdomains = suffixes?

I kind of like the idea of having an infinite number of suffixes for a single registered TLD..

keeps the squatters out.

www.enjoy.coke

This is my new idea for name systems.

[Sekioh]

why the hell would you save the www after all that talk of redoing the internet naming scheme?

bit://enjoy.coke/

makes more sense at that point... because you could already get that domain if you made a top level named coke. Which is where we got all these other top level names from such as .info, .name, .biz

Hmm. Could be possible if enough people ended up using it. Spaces and subspaces sound complicated, though.

The first part (enjoy) would become the TLD.
Registering that would enable you to create urls like
...://enjoy.coke/
...://enjoy.pepsi/
...://enjoy.watching.pics.of.my.naked.sister/cherrypie_mayhem.jpg
for example

Registering "www" first you could sell as many traditional looking web addresses as you want and thereby adopt the entire web while youre at it...
