[video] BitShares DNS

[Troglodactyl]

Wouldnt it be necessary that some organization (more abstractly a consensus about who handles it) that handles a domain name register to acknoledge this system?
I know Namecoin or BTS DNS are supposed to replace exactly this. But is the availability of the system as such enough. Doesnt it need some "political effort" to make this the system that everyone agrees upon worldwide?

In short, no.  This system can exist in parallel with current systems, and software will be made available to use it.  Eventually once it's become popular enough the major browser vendors may provide integration with this system by default, but it will work fine without any support from existing DNS "authorities."

Who, exactly, would you trust to do this?

Good to know the progress of BTS DNS, it's exciting to see so many DACs working in parallel.

thank you toast

It was to communicate "angelshare funding", I didn't mean to imply distribution. DNS will be 50/50 pts/ags.

hey toast why is it that on your video presentation about bitshare dns, only AGS is honored ? how about PTS?

Okay - toast is the man.  This guy is 20, and he's got potential... (1) He's sharp, (2) He's a good speaker and has potential to become a really good speaker (3) He can develop software like a champ.  I3 could really grow with toast and vice versa, my two cents
