(2010-12-01) P2P DNS

The Domain seizures by the United States authorities in recent days and upcoming legislation that could make similar takeovers even easier in the future, have inspired a group of enthusiasts to come up with a new, decentralized and BitTorrent-powered DNS system (Dot P2p). This system will exchange DNS information through peer-to-peer transfers and will work with a new .p2p (P2P) domain extension. (TLD?)

They need this built into core-FireFox and Google Chrome.

Jan06'2011 update: Aaron Swartz designs a "scroll" system. The names are secure: they’re identifiable by a key of arbitrary length and cannot be stolen. They’re human-meaningful: the name can be whatever string you like. And they’re decentralized: no centralized authority determines who gets what name and yet they’re available to everyone in the network.
