how did that happen?

Soon we may need the solution from @Freakoverse

It looks like you used namecheap? Or the provider you use leases from namecheap. Icann shows it was updated today, and they do not show any status codes on it from what I can see. So this does appear to be a namecheap issue not icann?

That sucks =/ Hopefully you (and others who faced the same issue) don't have to deal with that in the future assuming DNN's success.

It was through namecheap. they didn't like my contact info, haven't heard anything from them so I probably wont get the domain back :(

permissionless domain names would be nice but for dev tools and docs it does need to be easily accessible

Hmmm, if you paid for it successfully, I don't think theyll take it from you unless they yoinked your whole account. It's been a long time since I used namecheap though.

Needing to install DNN-savvy DNS handling creates huge friction.

damn owning all my domain through namecheap with dumb contact info

I haven't looking into DNN yet. But the biggest hurdle is always going to be that stock iphones or stock androids won't be able to resolve the domains

You're right. That's why the plan is to get it whever possible installed by default, with the first big goal having it implemented in Brave (so no user install, no friction), suddenly hundreds of millions of users have access to freedom domains, and as more websites continue to be on only those DNN domains, so only on Brave, it'll create competitive pressure overtime where other browsers start adding it (domino effect). Second core push is having it by default on linux distros as well in their latest builds (another "no user install"), as more linux is increasing in user adoption over time. Wherever path I can take to push DNN to be implemented by default on software where it makes sense, I'd push for it, all so users don't have to install anything.

Yup, i realize that, and that's why I'll have push, where i can, to have browser have DNN support implemented in them, most obvious one would be Brave, then linux distros, etc.

What is the difference with no-dns?

GitWorkshop.dev

Decentralized github alternative over Nostr

Forked a browser done =3 Next up (well, after a bunch of nostr clients implement DNN and people start using it on them, then have decent discussions about it on forums and other social media, a tiny bit of buzz basically) to talk with the Brave team to see if it hopefully implemented there and explain how they can benefit from it as a business (aside from plucking at their heartstrings of freedom and so on of course x3)

Ouch. That's where I have my domains too. Noted, and I'm not registering anything new with them.

noDNS helped me with figuring out the network stuff (recognition given in the DNN readme =3 , and looking forward to a Tollgate world, where DNN is prepped to roll with it 🤘). Regarding difference (as far as I'm aware): noDNS: one domain, and one website per npub, under one TLD (.nostr), free Example: npub 18n4ysp43ux5c98fs6h9c57qpr4p8r3j8f6e32v0vj8egzy878aqqyzzk9r.nostr --- DNN: multiple domains under an acquired TLD (which is also an ID) that's human-readable/memorable. super cheap to free. Examples: freakoverse.nwinterzookd banana.nwinterzookd bonus: it also solves a bunch of other problems: relay discovery, relay centralization, nip-05, long event addresses, long user addresses, unfamiliar login flow, decently helps with WoT, other

I'm guessing nobody rugged anyone here. 99% of times on Nostr when you hear about how so and so rugged me (ICANN, Cloudflare, Namecheap...) what actually happened is just some clerical thing, forgot to renew the domain, credit card expired, didn't get the settings right, etc.

This is amazing net work 🔥🚀
