If we really want a decentralized internet, the right ISP needs to come along and strike the right balance between allowing ingress traffic and pricing. If everyone could run a website from their homes without worrying about DDNS then things would be much easier -- buy a <$25 SBC, buy a domain name, and you're off to the races on the "small" internet -- if you ever need more then pick what you want.
We don't need blockchain for this.
- danlugo92 5y agoIn web3 you'll have a public key. You won't need to worry about domain registrars or anything like that, nor DDNS. Just point people to your immutable public key, that's it.
- hardwaresofton 5y agoI’d argue that the complexity of domain registrars and DDNS is less than that of public key cryptography and blockchain. Also again the right ISP would obviate the need and do both things for you, and that gets even easier when ipv6 is even more mainstream. It’s easy to explain how web2 works right now to a lay person in non technical terms. I think it’s much harder to explain blockchain and even more so the systems and standards built on top. You’re basically going to be asking for blind trust from consumers
