We must be careful with such adjustments.virtual_master wrote:Yes. The actual protocol doesn't allow such a structure, at least not so as discussed there.georgem wrote:
Sounds like an incredible idea.
But somehow we must adjust namecoin protocol so whole namespaces belong to a person (or group)
That would imply something like a parent --> child foldersystem that namecoin completely lacks at the moment.
I mean, obviously... d/ doesn't really exist.
It's not like d/ is a folder... it's just the two first characters of the "name"
We discussed something similar here---> http://forum.namecoin.info/viewtopic.ph ... 4&start=10
But:
1. We could think about how could it be implemented if needed.
2. Then contact ICANN and ask them if they are interested.
3. Implementing the top level domain feature support in Namecoin(activated only by the ordered top level domains) for a contribution to the Namecoin development fond.
The development contributions should come in advance like by the ASICS order.
4. Hand over the top level domain control to the legitimate organization.
If we build in a new functionality that lets a single entity control a complete namespace...
what stops an entity controling the d/ namespace?
Or will this be somehow ruled out?
And another thing is.... does anybody know how many tld domains exist, and how many million domains are registered worldwide?
A few million NMC are not going to be enough to handle that amount of registrations fees.
Fees would have to drop by a factor of thousand in this case.
