That might be part of the answer
- octoberfranklin 5y agoSo called "pet names" like /etc/hosts span only two of the three corners of the triangle: http://www.skyhunter.com/marcs/petnames/zooko-triangle.gif http://www.skyhunter.com/marcs/petnames/zooko-triangle.gif
- Karrot_Kream 5y agoGNS does not "square" Zooko's Triangle. It relies on petnames as said above, so names are purely local, like /etc/hosts. The global identifier used by each Zone is an opaque identifier, like IPFS hashes, that is not human memorable.

- Karrot_Kream 5y agoIt's a very similar UX, but doesn't have anything to do with onion routing.
