I want to be able to install a browser extension which hijacks normal operation of the URL bar so when I type
google.com -> Takes me to google.com.p2p as determined by BDSN and I don't want to ever want see the .p2p. ever. Is this technically possible?
Who owns google.com.p2p? Google or someone who was lucky enough to buy the name google.com on BDSN?
The highest bidder. But I'd use a system that makes them very expensive to start the bidding for in the first year. Very high minimum opening bid which decreases over time & for the most valuable legacy ICANN domain names, the minimum auction opening bid, would be their $ value at start of DAC divided by maybe 10 000 with a 25% monthly drop.
As long as we reserve the name "com" (and other current TLDs) on the BDSN global namespace, no one is able to buy any names that end with .com (or .org, or .edu, or any of the other current ICANN TLDs). Because no one is able to own those names, the browser extension is able to unambiguously know you are talking about a domain name on the legacy ICANN system. So, it will use that legacy system to find the IP address 4.53.56.93, and take you to Google's website. This means early adopters who use the BDNS browser extension can still use all old domain names like they regularly did. This helps adoption.
Thanks for the explanation! Great! I think I understand now. So we're reserving them on purpose so that BDSN takes our browser extension users to that domain name on the legacy ICANN system.
But you're saying my request it's technically possible? - For a BDSN browser extension to completely ignore ICANN .coms & .orgs & redirect users to our .com namespaces, or at least our .com.p2p namespaces where the .p2p is always invisible to the user? Which may or may not be owned by the same people that own the domain names on the legacy ICANN system.
If so - Woohoo!
I'm probably wrong, but I think then the current model is great & will be a success. But the current BDNS with our unique TLD's is to domains what Bitcoin is to USD but my BDNS model is to domains what BitUSD is to USD.
It's 3:30 am here, so I'll explain my thinking in the morning...
