@dotmeow @da5nsy granted, #OpenNIC does also resolve the #ICANN #rootzone, and in fact they actually went out of their way to cancel a comflicthig #TLD in their rootzone...

• The problem is the concentration at ICANN and the ones that tried to fight that #monopoly legally - #NameDotSpace - seem to have gone bankrupt on that endeavour...

Obviously you'd not do a #Kickstarter campaign and try to raise $$$$$$$ in funds if you didn't want to get included in ICANNs rootzone, which paywall the hell out of gTLD applications...

@gharbeia @aral @EUCommission I mean, #OpenNIC works as an alternative rootzone, and #NameDotSpace allegedly failed at sueing #ICANN for their monopoly.

As for #certificates, @cacert iron'd out that ages ago...

@karlauerbach @endali Yeah...

AFAICT #NameDotSpace bit the dust and their #Antitrust went nowhere whilst @opennic / #OpenNIC actually works fine to the point that I use their #DNS as default everywhere...
