It is really interesting why he is in prison. Basically for attending a tech conference in North Korea. Frankly, this reminds me of the Soviet times.
"Basically for attending a tech conference in North Korea." Yeah, nah. That's not what happened. He deserves to be in prison. He is so smart yet so stupid at the same time.
Will domains have to be renewed at all in the future? When you put a transaction on the Bitcoin blockchain, it will stay there forever. You don't have to renew it. Why not the same for domains? You put "mydomain > 111.222.333.444 signed: me, the mydomain owner" on a blockchain and as long as you do not put another signed message that overrides it, it points to 111.222.333.444 forever.
Then certain domains would become impossible to change as soon as someone loses their keys or dies etc.

There is no problem to 'fix'. The people who paid for eth.link domains do not own them, so GoDaddy has zero obligation to even acknowledge their existence. Hell, they're lucky they even got a statement at all, if I was them I'd just start selling off the domains slowly while I watch Twitter melt down.
> if I was them I'd just start selling off the domains slowly while I watch Twitter melt down. Why do something you know to be bad and will lead to many people being angry? Why not... be nice and helpful?
Because there are rules around this stuff. Rules designed to maintain integrity of dns and trust in the system. They can't flaunt the rules, and if they did, they'd be at risk of losing accreditation.

Registrars seem to flaunt the rules all the time and not lose accreditaion. CloudFlare cancels peoples domains prematurely due to "false positives" - gets away with it. NameCheap cancels peoples domains prematurely due to their country of origin - gets away with it.

It's so funny how people are so happy to jump in defense of the US regime. Are international sanctions laws just? Should the US government have the right to bar other countries from transacting financially with the world? > Griffith has been limited to two or less meals a day, usually peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, because gangs in MDC control the kitchens and the commissary Gangs control US prisons because the…
> Are international sanctions laws just? Should the US government have the right to bar other countries from transacting financially with the world? North Korea happily transacts with China. It just can’t transact with us or with our friends. This makes sense given Pyongyang has credibly stated it would be happy to bomb us and our allies. If someone wants to work for our enemies, a few years in jail is–historically a…

What specifically do you mean by "cancels domains prematurely"?
