Breaking: P2P DNS to take on ICANN after US domain seizures
Quote:
In a couple days, an alternate DNS blog was born. P2P DNS states, "A small tweet turned into a lot of interest. We haven't organized yet, but trying to. The background for this project is that we want the internet to be uncensored! Having a centralized system that controls our information flow is not acceptable. By using existing technology for de-centralization together with already having a crew with skilled programmers, communicators and network specialists, an alternative system is not far away. We're not going to re-invent the wheel, we're going to build on existing technology as much as possible."
The Dot-P2P project is not filesharing, but peer-to-peer exchanged DNS data which is both open and secure. According to Dot-P2P goals, "By creating a .p2p TLD that is totally decentralized and that does not rely on ICANN or any ISP's DNS service, and by having this application mimic force-encrypted BitTorrent traffic, there will be a way to start combating DNS level based censoring like the new US proposals as well as those systems in use in countries around the world including China and Iran amongst others."
AlterNIC tried and failed to be an alternate DNS root. Some people applauded the effort while others branded it as harmful. Will Dot-P2P gain support? If interested in a P2P DNS, you can also read more at DNS-P2P Brainstorm or the IRC channel that EZTV tweeted. You can say or feel what you want about The Pirate Bay, but many people loved it. There is a good chance many will support a BitTorrent-based DNS after the U.S. governments' latest domain seizures. Are you rooting for Dot-P2P?
