The significantly high difficulty makes it financially infeasible to squat on TLDs, yet is enough to keep TLD abuses in check, since there is enough to encourage competition. For second-level and third level, you'd have normal nameservers like PowerDNS and BIND9, though I'd strongly suggest implementing DNSSEC + DANE + DNSCurve and a few more enhancements for privacy and security as a general convention from the outset.

Our objective is not to be an alternative root, but to eliminate the need for roots. With the rootless system all TLDs are peers. With the peer model, the central authority is gone and the whole system is more resilient. Our offering of TLDs, such as ".Gun", ".TeaParty", ".Occupy", ".ProChoice", ",ProLife", and others use a digital signature based system that allows for true ownership rather than the rental model. SLDs are offered at a $10 one-time fee and the business model allows for any party to become a retailer and retaining about half of that amount. Our technology includes a model where DNS traffic is hidden from the ISP to prevent logging. We invite dialog here and you can contact me directly at John.Kozlowski&lt; at &gt;ShofarDomain.com.

We offer paypal and bitcoin donations. While paypal is the most popular way to pay online these days, we do realize there are security concerns and thus we welcome any ideas for further consideration. If you would like to donate funds in another way, please email alex at alex [AT] opennicproject [DOT] org and we can see what we can do for you. Rest assured that these donations are put only towards the maintenance of OpenNIC infrastructure.

I've been making a point of spending more time at irc.PirateIRC.net and interacting and keeping up. Very recently, I've been saving up money for a Linode (their new 4GB plan in Dallas) so I can host a Discourse ( http://www.discourse.org/about/ ) instance. I plan on hosting this for the purposes of discussing and voting on issues of interest to TXPP, and on organizing and coordinating efforts both internally within TXPP and to other state chapters. I just thought I'd poke the listserv about this, since it seems people noticed me here, as well. So hai :D -------- You are a member of the OpenNIC Discuss list.

Otherwise, hang in there until we get it sorted out, and we'll be back up and running again soon!
