An alternative name system for I2P: XNS

4 months ago by CAVOK to c/i2p

XNS is the eXile Name System. It makes Monero the only source of truth. Each XNS name is a result of a 0.01 XMR burn transaction with the desired name and owner public Ed25519 key.

Now it can be used as the name system of I2P.

Why would you use it all of a sudden? Because currently, there is no safe names in I2P. Unless you use direct b32.i2p addresses, which are not human memorable.

What's wrong with .i2p addresses? They are just entries on your own machine and on jump services. You have to trust those jump services if you share your .i2p address with others and expect reliability. Think of it as .local/.lan names your network router resolves.

While with XNS, once you claim a XNS name, as long as Monero stands, your name will be yours and no one can take it from you.

Read more about it on https://xns.rocks/docs For I2P specific articles, read https://xns.rocks/docs/xns-and-i2p/xns-on-i2p Source code: https://xns.rocks/exilens/xns Matrix channel: #xns:xns.rocks | https://matrix.to/#/#xns:xns.rocks

XNS is made for the Internet of free people. I believe I2P is the only reliable way.

well I am not against this. But you can't be the admin and violate your own rules. In the rules is statet that you shouldn't talk about crypto currencies. But you clearly do.Pls remove the rule or this post.

I get what you're saying, but the rule is basically just there to not turn the channel into a crypto-ad channel. If you're making something for/in I2P that somehow touches the crypto space, but that's not the focus of it then I'm OK with it being posted. I'd be happy to update the rule to something more suitable if you can help me come up with something.
