Decentralized naming is an interesting problem.<p>There are several problems with this design though:<p>1) Cheap, permanent domain squatting is possible<p>2) Legitimate domain owners can't recover from key loss<p>3) Onerous storage requirements for every node
Not that I'm criticising the work, but DNS is <i>already</i> P2P; it is -by design- a federated system. However, -as Mononofu's project's README notes- it is not <i>highly tamper resistant</i>. [0]<p>I know that one could see this as a petty quibble, but just because something isn't tamper resistant doesn't mean it's <i>not</i> a P2P system. :)<p>[0] I make <i>liberal</i> use of this lack of tamper resistance to provide various levels of ad and tracking blocking for all systems on my LAN. BIND's RPZs (and mechanisms similar to them) are pretty great.
