The Pirate Bay founder has launched a new service to register domain names anonymously: https://njal.la/. You can sign up using XMPP+OTR and pay in BTC. The company buys the domain and then gives you the usage rights.
Seems useful mainly for people worried about content takedowns.
Thoughts?
@bcrypt think it's a great idea. Illegal content will still be taken down, so it seems the service is really targeted to non-illegal uses where anonymity is desired (think rogue Whitehouse/disgruntled parks type accounts).
To the extent that domain registration/ownership provides a static identity layer to federated systems (like mastodon), it's a big win.
