Here's another triangle
Human-meaningful: Meaningful and memorable names.
Unique: The referent of a name is unique and immutable.
Intergenerational: The first generation of users can't take up all the good names.
- cowtools 4y agoI think the intergenerational aspect is intertwined with the "centralized" aspect if zooko's triangle, because traditionally in DNS you have some central authority (ICANN, IETF, registrar) that is expected to "solve" that somehow by deciding who should be allowed to own certain domains.
- eternityforest 4y agoThis is another good case for just tossing the whole unique name thing entirely and going with key hashes and freely chosen nonunique names.
- qwerty456127 4y agoIMHO there should be no good or bad names and no choice which do you take. I loved ICQ so much because it didn't require me to invent a nickname nor to struggle spelling it aloud to people from different countries. Just a reasonably short number - that was amazing.
