Title: Bitshare DNS and distributed static site content
Post by: zhangweis on March 20, 2014, 02:09:17 am

With bitshare DNS, we can have a secure p2p network for naming. But if I want to put up some static web content, I still have point of failure risk as I need to point my DNS to an IP address. Some example risks:

. IP address banned.
. Attack on this IP.

Can we set up something backed by torrent and bitshare DNS? Something like twister(http://twister.net.co/) and pirate bay plan(http://www.theregister.co.uk/2014/01/08/pirate_bay_blockade_evading_client/).

That's "application layer" stuff. DNS just provides a key-value store. So yeah, you can make a convention for how to embed a magnet link into the record. It's all about how apps interpret the value you put in.

Thanks for the reply and it's clear now. So it's kinda like namecoin that we can put anything we want into the record.
