This is a great step forward, however the nature of all "domains" is centralised. DNS is a great idea, that decouples the centralisation to many parties, but it is central at many points; registrars, ICANN, DNS servers (though can be local). Tor's unique .onion address are the perfect way to fix the centralisation and the security, but comes at the cost of human readability.



I really liked the idea that created peercoin. I.e. a currency that also enabled distributed the registrar's (at least I believe so).


You mean namecoin.
