These are just usernames, not trade marked domain names. What did you do when someone got to gmail/twitter/whatever before you did and picked the name you liked? You just picked a different name, or added some digits to the end of the one you liked. You could do the same thing here.
- DannoHung 11y agoMy experience has shown that having names be treated as unique identifiers is a hairy situation. And frankly, unique identifiers in a system for distributing source code are as important as domain names if not way more so. Domain names only ever run code in an ostensibly sandboxed vm.
- anewhnaccount 11y agoUnlike domain names they're immutable. So if it's good now, it's good as long as the private key is kept safe. If you want to cross reference the identity with an email address you could use a keyserver. If you want to cross reference the identity with a domain name, you could use a TXT record.
