I did some of the earliest work on a feasible peer-to-peer DNS called CoDoNs: http://www.cs.cornell.edu/people/egs/beehive/codons.php The project website describes the kind of system we envisioned as a "safety-net" for DNS. There are lots of good reasons for not fracturing the namespace. DNSSEC helps by providing a secure mapping from names to addresses, while CoDoNs helps by removing centralized bottlenecks to the distribution of DNSSEC-protected records. - egs On Wed, Jan 11, 2012 at 7:17 PM, Tony Arcieri <tony.arcieri@gmail.com>wrote:

With the looming threat of SOPA, completely decentralized censorship-proof P2P DNS systems are beginning to look pretty interesting.

Namecoin is perhaps the most interesting to-date, but what other systems are people working on? Are there people who are particularly enthusiastic about this subject whose blogs I should be reading? Or other sites/discussion forums which deal with this issue in particular?

(And yes, I've heard of Zooko's Triangle ;)
