Some years ago I wrote a proof-of-concept chrome extension for "unlocking" domain names. https://github.com/amoffat/hash-n-slash

The basic idea was that we should be able to use anything as a routable domain name, and not just limit it to short words or phrases.

This is super neat but also sorta defeats the whole purpose of domain names, which is to have memorable names that point to hard to remember IP addresses. This creates impossible to remember hashes that point to difficult to remember IP addresses.

This is essentially content addressing + location addressing.

If you're not familiar, IPFS does content addressing in a really cool way.

Hopefully this site will pump fake some domain squatters into buying these..? Jk of course I’m sure these are direct Whois queries, and I know namecheap doesn’t practice that if the site is using them for the searching/ai.
