Yes, but my question is instead of using a centralized server that says a certain domain is binded to a certain IP, could it be done using nostr relays to "gossip" the domain resolution instead of centralized servers?

Why should your ISP listen to some random gossip on nostr?

you're right, makes no sense at all.

The only thing that makes sense is for nostr to create its own network like tor, i2p, cjdns and probably many more that nobody has ever heard of.
But "nostrnet" won’t replace clearnet (DNS+IPv4+IPv6) where 99.99% of all internet traffic happens.
It’s just going to be another tiny network that only a few people care about.

yep, like a mesh network, that make sense.

But a nostr relay for example still needs a domain on clearnet or an .onion on tor network, will it always be the case?

Bootstrapping a new network is not easy, yes.
That’s why I replied with #926803.
Btw, sorry if you thought it was rude, but I thought it was funny and I really want to laugh again in a year.

no they don't. But somebody else (from a gov agency or whatever) can see your posts and then if you link your real identity on nostr they can just go to your ISP and demand to be "liberated" by your internet access.
Internet ID is coming fast... and all these rhetoric of "decentralized nostr" is falling down to who is going to allow you to use internet.

Again, what is a domain? A human readable IP conversion. The bigger problem is not on the DNS, but who is controlling the IPs.
reply
So the DNS autorirative servers are not a problem, can't they censor some websites/servers? Or it's all done on the IPs directly?

They can because we need to trust someone to tell us the real IP.
It’s not great but I’m definitely not going to trust random nostr gossip.

The IP is the key. It can be taken any time from you and you are fucked, no matter how many domain names you have. LOL you never run your own website, self-hosted? Or your own email server?
reply
Indeed, one can have multiple domains in the same IP. Is this who controls IP addresses worldwide? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Assigned_Numbers_Authority
reply
yes these are the motherfuckers controlling the world
reply
so to overcome them we would need to build our own infrastructure?
