it is a completely decentralized naming layer for bitcoin. It is not only useful, but urgently needed
Whats a single urgent need that is solvable by Decentralized Identity or DNS?
There is no good answer to this.
This solution is not completely decentralized, its completely centralized!
bitcoind is decentralized and running on ~50k+ hosts.
What incentive is there for folks to run another proprietary daemon that returns the incorrect DNS results for names? Sounds like nonsense.
You don't get to spam junk to the Bitcoin blockchain and say that you are decentralized.
Doing so is no more decentralized than any of the out-of-protocol spam we have seen since bitcoin began (Mastercoin/Omni, Counterparty, etc). It just isn't!
Just because you spam bitcoin tx with junk doesnt make this a solution FOR bitcoin, or USING bitcoin.
Its just putting shit where it doesn't belong at great expense.
“If you don't believe me or don't get it, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry.”
This solution is just awful.
Whenever folks claim to be "cypherpunks", yet want to implement "decentralized identity" using completely centralized code and centralized paradigms.
There is nothing decentralized about any of this. It, just like runes and ordinals and other spammy trash is not decentralized.
These fools think that if they store data in a decentralized data structure like a blockchain at great cost their app is decentralized. This is magical thinking, and very very wrong. The PROTOCOL must be decentralized, not the storage. Storage alone is insufficient. Abuse of shared storage resources is called spam, and society (let alone other cypherpunks) very much dislikes it.
It all requires proprietary services to parse the proprietary data that is stored on chain. These services will all fail, like every other attempt in the past.
They are a negative value proposition for Bitcoin. Eventually the spammers learn at great cost, but we all suffer the consequences.
The Bitcoin protocol does not have any identity components at all, it is purely pseudonymous by design.

You are doing a great disservice to whatever persona you believe you are filling.
