We already have tools that make it easy to accept sats in merchant mode, which was exactly what was missing to truly make Bitcoin a universal and global currency—all while maintaining self-custody for the business owner. In short, I think we are close to what Satoshi Nakamoto envisioned and desired.

I love this idea. Discussed it with a pleb in real life at a having party. Tere's some real potential here.

Mlkut Name System — MNS

get rate limited names by Blockchain, someone can register in bulk and transfer to users later, every update (other than ownership transfer) is offchain, and you get two extra goodies; 1) shorter IDs 2) key rotation with arbitrary smart contract, so instead of a bunker you can use any logic for someone to help you with custody, and you can change to any level of self custody as you feel more comfortable... Any innovation on key management on any Blockchain can be back ported to MNS. Now that I mentioned this, Rootstock addresses are derived from secp256k1 so theoretically you can search for the names owned by an npub.

Is the site that had the example name still up somewhere? I think it’s helpful to see what the names look like and what they can potentially do

To derive a trustlevel you mean ? In gittr.space i show an info if the owner of the repo is in your network. In Trato I went with different badges
