What if the first chain was simply "the .p2p blockchain" and the ticker was "P2P" or "DOT-P2P"? "DNS" would refer to the family of namespace DACs that share our frontend tools.
p2p is good. gns is also good. it sounds like genesis. Maybe ADAM as the first name of man 8)
I would suggest what Mrjeans suggested. launch a POS coin that is the proto dac of all future dacs. That would allow someone to invest in the idea of a DNS dac, even if they didn't appreciate the way that the primary dac was built.

I support this. The proto-DAC will do nothing but list the claimed TLDs by its child DACs. I think I'll write up another post about this.

I'm not quite sure I understand you, but thats not quite what I was thinking. What Mrjeans suggested in bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=3890.0 seems to me to be a simply altcoin. Branch the DNS family off of the PTS/AGS tree. Call it Bitshares-DNS. Make it a simple POS coin that allows people to invest in the idea of a decentralized DNS solution. Then branch off of that for your work and call it bitshares-.p2p. Any future revisions of your work would be a 1 for 1 snapshot of the bitshares-.p2p chain. call it bitshares-p2p-2 or whatever you like. Of course should you decide to release bitshares-.dac you could also do a 1 for 1 snapshot of the bitshares-.p2p chain if you prefer to reward those that have supported your chain, but If I think I can do it better than you I might release bitshares-.puppies (everyone loves puppies. Except serial killers) and I could snapshot the bitshares-dns chain without having to go back to PTS/AGS
This gives the proto dac bitshares-dns a value corresponding to the expected future innovation in dns, adjusted for time preference of course. While giving those innovators a single chain to snapshot that will be filled with individuals that support a decentralized DNS system.
This will reduce the value of bitshares-.p2p by stripping the expected value of future dacs expected to be derived from the bitshares-.p2p chain. It will also stabilize the price of bitshares-.p2p though. Reducing the snapshots will help prevent wild swings in price as those that only valued the spinoff product will not sell off bitshares-.p2p.
If I'm not making sense please let me know. This is my leisure time, and I have a tendency to drink a lot in my leisure time.
We are on exactly the same page. I just thought it would be iconic if, every time a distributed namespace DAC got momentum, we would make note of it in the proto-DAC. But it's totally unnecessary and could even be harmful because politics.
