RE: Witness Update: Upgrade Windows Home PC Server to 128Gb RAM & 2TB RAID NVMe - preparation for Hive API Node

in #witness3 years ago

Lol this is the first time "the kids" have tampered with the blockchain.

I like how main stream sounding that is, lol children are playing on the blockchain infrastructure lol

Sort:  

Yes, the whole point of this is to show how we can get better decentralisation by people running Hive nodes at home (on Windows Home), rather than almost every node being dependent on a limited number of external infrastructure providers.

Just since law is your thing, have you ever considered buying .hive?

A domain name registry with a new age custom DNSSEC would be very beautiful sight to be hold.

If you haven't heard of quad 9 DNS please try to get the Hive stuff off the Cloudflare servers! (1.1.1.1)

You'll have to explain this a bit more.

Are you suggesting I buy the .hive root level domain and set up a new tech DNS server?

This sounds a lot more technical than legal and a bit beyond my technical competence.

But it sounds like a good idea. Ownership would need to be decentralised or else you'd have the same problem.

Its way beyond my technical level here too, but yes a full out domain name registry, DNS data center (our own 1.1.1.1 / cloudflare) with modern data protection standards.

The hardest part for me to grasp, is who is at the top of the domain name registry heirchy, but we need to put rights from them to .Hive just like .gov is for government websites only, .Hive would be for Hive sites only, and you ( or another trustworthy authority) could oversee the list of people (private keys) who are approved to use those domains with the .Hive registration

I had quick look into this.

It costs $185k just to apply and comes with all sorts of contractual obligations to ICANN.

I think it would increase centralisation because of the power it would give ICANN over Hive. Currently that power is diffuse.

Well you are a legit witness sir, I have always supported you and would have to say its moot if its more centralized. Thanks for actually looking into that. I have followed ICANN a bit but its so dry, is there a chance they have competition or its in a UN agency?

Thanks for your support.
I think its being transferred to the UN (which is worse than US control).
