   @thor Ahhh... yeah... I typed before I was thinking... of course DNSSEC...
   OK! How many people suggested this?😁

     @leviathan people have largely been looking to point out problems, not offer solutions

     @thor Hmm... How many suggested to you to look up IPSEC?🤔 😁

     @thor The thing is managed by ICANN and your local domain registrar... You just hold an account with a registrar and pay them money to keep the records for you. As long as you're not a registered registrar with ICANN, you can not really own a domain, you just rent it.

     @leviathan i've been told this by pedantic people like 3 times in the last 24 hours and i continue to be as aware of this as i always was.

     how could you prove to a computer on the Internet that you're the legal owner of a domain name?

     if there is a legal contact in the WHOIS record, the computer can just email you for verification, but what about anonymised WHOIS records?

     how can you send a message with a link to the legal owner of an anonymised domain name?

     @clacke the only solution i can think of is to start a registrar, but at that point, you have a single point of authority.

     @clacke yes, and i thought of that too. the problem is that i want to issue a unique fungible token to anyone who has a domain name. you can imagine a rogue employee at a large company abusing this to claim tokens for the company's domain names.
