Okay, so is this just for payments, or is there a way this could serve as a way to login to different websites like Persona, oauth, or similar systems? Do diff

Do different namespaces exist? DNS at least gives a ton of different options, so if a top-level domain you like is taken, you just use .net, .org, etc.
The global namespace seems like it might get crowded really fast. How to prevent that?
- rxl 13y agoA login system is definitely on the roadmap! We just decided to focus on the initial usecase of bitcoin payments. You're right, the global namespace very well might get crowded, but we'll see how it plays out.
- antocv 13y agoYou should consider cities or regions as namespaces and not countries like tld, because as you see with Ukraine, Kosovo etc they change. Birthcity or village remains through generations. Language is also very crowded, names just arent unique.
- icebraining 13y agoI don't want my identity tied to my city or region. I might not want to give out my birth city, or I may simply not identify with it anymore. Forced namespacing is just a poor solution. Users can add whatever namespaces they want to their own username if they want to, after all, it's just a string.
- icebraining 13y agoYou can always register "<myname>.net" on OneName, no? Such namespaces are artificial, you can always emulate them on a system without them.
