But who are those for? I mean, I get what you're saying I just don't think it solves the issue. Sure,I could sign up for JoeRogan.biz and start posting using that handle, but I would also have to pay to hide the whois information.
All government agencies would have a verified .gov domain.
States have access to .gov domains
hell, My local town has a .gov domain.
States have access to domains like ca.us, schools in states have access to k12.ca.us domains.
I guess States could offer domains like, person.county.town.state.us but what a mouthful. Or maybe person.citizen.state.us but doesn't seem ideal either.
I guess you could have a verified TLD so you can have individual domains like johndoe.verified... but it takes away from the domain being linked back to my website. Sure I could set up a redirect but boy that's starting to get complicated.
I think domains are a fine barrier for entry for vanity handles. Current domain registers could offer their own verification services where they can include the verification in the whois information.
If Joerogan.biz doesn't come back with some kind of verification string inside then it's not Joe's domain. That string could be a pubkey and services could allow for either encrypted posting or including an encrypted string that verifys against the domains whois information.
Or that pubkey could be stored as a txt record in the domain.
