:)) I cannot believe this that there are already other PDS's running. I thought that part is incomplete and we're not able to use it. Silly me. Yea I'll appreciate an invite to implement the custom PDS feature.

To be fair, if there’s one thing that would be truly improved by a blockchain system it would be DNS. So it’s not prima facie evident that such an effort is in bad faith.

Working on a redesign of my Handshake registrar. This is the soon to be old design.

After a year of registry work and a recent short vacay in Santa Monica, I’ve been rejuvenated and inspired.

FYI
Odd if it’s the same name provider…

In some cases the provider appends the domain name in the background so you have to put _atproto instead of _atproto.alice.com

New ICANN and Verisign proposal would let any government usurp registrars and seize domain names, illustrating the case for Handshake and a neutral root zone.

✨ Bring your own algorithm is here ✨

I was inspired by Phil's tweet, so I decided to hack together a little project: Skyline 🏙️

Skyline allows you to create your own AI algo-feeds, OR use one of our pre-defined feeds. Try it out: https://skyline.gay (the domain was at a discount 😂)

one thing about Handshake that always blows people’s minds is that you can run a light client on your phone to self verify domains and not compromise dns lookup speeds
