    I’m not talking about phishing in wallets. im talking about signing Content ID with NFT domains which means the content directed to when you go to website.eth is exactly what was published by the owner on IPFS a decentralized filesystem. meaning the web can be peer to peer with security and bandwidth optimization in mind while also being secure.

      Ah yes that’s a very interesting property indeed! What do you think about other decentralized naming schemes like .onion, .i2p or the GNU Name System? (not talking about Handshake because the design is very similar to .eth)

      I personally find the design of GNS much superior from a technical perspective: it’s backwards-compatible with DNS, and via hyper-hyper local root breaks Zooko’s triangle by dissociating human-meaningful names to global machine-generated public-key-addressed names. Clever stuff!

        I like anything that allows for security, and I think we can use the technology for good. We should also be vigilant because it will mostly be used for bad things. And I think people generally are vigilant, but they lack understanding, and get hung up on weird things imo.
