Seems like we need a chain of custody for domains, not just current ownership. Kinda like real estate. And then accounts are tied not just to the ownership stat

Seems like we need a chain of custody for domains, not just current ownership. Kinda like real estate. And then accounts are tied not just to the ownership state, but also the ownership instance ID.
Just don't tell the web 3.0 folks cause I don't necessarily mean a blockchain.
- verdverm 2y agoWeb 3 already tried this, it was called Handshake. I think their downfall is they wanted to replace ICANN / DNS rather than work with and alongside the current system.
- ycombinatrix 2y agoshame, ICANN sucks
- verdverm 2y agoI would argue the crypto bros are worse
- ycombinatrix 2y agocrypto bros are annoying but at least they're doing their own thing. ICANN is actively screwing us.
- verdverm 2y agoIf crypto bros took over the DNS system, it would no longer be them doing their own thing and we would all be getting screwed harder by the more deeply and insidiously misaligned incentives that come with crypto coin projects Anything that gets put on the blockchain gets a secondary derivatives market that then impacts your own project. There is nothing you can do about this, they are created independently and can live on a different blockchain. They are so obsessed with financializing everything and turning it into a market where they can skim off everything out there
- TeMPOraL 2y ago> Just don't tell the web 3.0 folks cause I don't necessarily mean a blockchain. Isn't this literally what certificate chains are for? Establishing a chain or custody - or rather, a chain of liability?
- spankalee 2y agoYou don't need a whole chain of custody, you just need to know that the current owner is the one you care about. TXT DNS records or magic URLs can do the trick.
