Ask HN: Share an idea?

If you're like me, you often have a lot of ideas that you don't have the time or resources to execute on.

If so, why not write it down for your fellow hackers' enjoyment?

Topics can be anything: product ideas, service ideas, blog post topics, stand up comedy skits, research initiatives you wish could get funded, etc.

A fully decentralized alternative to DNSSEC that isn't Namecoin. Specifically:

    - Use EdDSA (i.e. Ed25519) for digital signatures
    - Use BLAKE2b as the hash function
    - Keep record sizes small
    - Recursive resolvers should use DNSCurve with pinned public keys
We would not only need a solid implementation, but a formal RFC for the IETF to consider/approve.

The idea here is to make it so that no government can influence or control domain name <-> IP address allocations.
