This is brilliant! Over the past decade I've seen numerous discussions about #DNS on the #Autonomi peer-to-peer network (formerly #MaidSafe / #SafeNetwork).

Nobody mentioned this idea until MaidSafe founder David Irvine this week.

I think he just might have cracked #decentralized DNS. Different, but probably better. See what you think:

They launched the Autonomi brand only a couple of weeks ago and things are still changing over, so you will find info searching for the previous name #SafeNetwork, and MaidSafe.

The forum at https://forum.autonomi.com is a great resource and the entry to trying out the beta test networks, and the code is at https://github.com/maidsafe/safe_network API documentation is partly on the rep and API detail is on https::/docs.rs as the project is written in Rust.

Let me know if that helps.

Great to see this. It's something I'd love to put on #autonomi (ex #SafeNetwork) but first we have to get some APIs and a browser app sorted! Hopefully they'll be there as your project matures.

Visiting the repo I'm curious why AGPL rather than GPL? Being static I'm assumming no server side code. I'm not sure it matters but still curious. I don't understand all these licensing options and just make all my code GPLv3, and never do anything on a server.

@ivana #SafeNetwork is the perfect place for this, or will be when it launches (scheduled for October).

Once the file is uploaded publicly it will be there forever, for a small one-off fee.

@silverpill
Maybe also look at how #SafeNetwork can provide this. It uses BLS keys (so M of N) to access encrypted account data stored on a permissionless (autonomous, p2p storage network) that stores data forever.

I'm investigating use of human readable decentralised identity for a DNS type system on this network, but these identities will be usable for anything of course. So details are up to anyone wanting to build an identity system on Safe Network, but it is going to be interesting.

@lilithsaintcrow A big improvement is coming in the form of #SafeNetwork.

Update 14 March

In the Roadmap we promised to unveil a fresh white paper and new branding next week, and we will deliver. The white paper is all there bar the i-dotting and t-crossing, and we’re really looking forward to sharing our new public face with the world.

Good progress on folders and mnemonics this week too.

Update 14 March, 2024

We were hoping to have a testnet ready for you today, but there are still a few tweaks to go in around the launcher and faucet. But soon. Really soon. Talking of soon, in the Roadmap we promised to unveil a fresh white paper and new branding next week, and we will deliver. The white paper is all there bar the i-dotting and t-crossing, and we’re really looking forward to sharing our new public face to the world. Thanks for all the encouraging chat ...

What if someone was to demonstrate websites on #SafeNetwork using #Servo? πŸ€”

Seems do-able:
- static blog created with #Publii desktop #CMS
- versions uploaded and preserved using Safe #LocalFirst Register #CRDT
- view website, current and previous versions
- #decentralized DNS (Safe NRS) as here: https://forum.safedev.org/t/a-safe-naming-system-to-support-versioned-websites-nrs-dns/3325?u=happybeing

A Safe Naming System to support versioned Websites (NRS/DNS)

Comments, critique, questions all welcome. Safe NRS (DNS) What follows is an outline design that shows how a Name Resolution System (similar to the web Domain Naming System) might be implemented using Safe Network to provide all three sides of Zooko’s triangle: Human-meaningful: Meaningful and memorable (low-entropy) names are provided to the users. Secure: The amount of damage a malicious entity can inflict on the system should be as low as possible. Decentralized: Names correctly resolve to...

Next week is big week for Safe Network:

- Monday: updated White Paper
- Wednesday: new branding

#SafeNetwork #p2p #decentralized

I'm looking again at static website builders now that Safe Network is happening (beta this month, launch in October).

I was set up to deploy my #dWeb blog simultaneously to web and Safe Network using #ReactStatic but sadly that is no longer maintained (but still works).

So I'm working on one using my favourite #Svelte. Also trying #Publii, a WYSIWYG site editor which looks interesting. Not the best UX but could help a lot of folks get online, on web and the #decentralised #p2p #SafeNetwork.
