have you learned anything from your work in the Ordinals ecosystem that might suggest a solution to creating a decentralized namespace?
I was just asking this on it's own thread separately (#461828), but I think there's something to learn from Ordinals that might influence the solution space to explore.
this territory is moderated
Ordinals have a decentralized namespace built in - each satoshi actually has a name, and the owner of the satoshi can inscribe information onto their sat. The ordinals software indexes every sat, allowing for easy lookup. Sats can also easily be traded trustlessly, so its a great fit.
I've done some experiments with this, checkout https://satslash.com (search "gobuildshit")
The one challenge with using sats as domains is that the naming scheme for sats is constrained to 10-11 letters for now. Shorter names will not be mined until the future.

"satslash" is a cool idea, thanks for building/sharing!

I also made a browser extension for it. So with the extension installed you can literally just type into your browser directly: "sat/gobuildshit" and it will work https://github.com/deezy-inc/satslash-browser-extension
(the code is a fork of go-links with minor modifications to do DNS resolution in browser by calling a public ordinals server)

Been a while since I saw such a steaming pile of horseshit.
