We're going to need a new DNS system, plain and simple. A complete replacement for ICANN and one that bypasses the United States. The walls are going up around this regime and like the other authoritarian bills passed (Patriot Act, DHS etc) these bills will eventually pass. So planning needs to start now.


I've been participating in this project: https://github.com/cjdelisle/cjdns

It's a peer-to-peer DNS system based on IPv6. The proof of concept is in place, and I've used it and it works. Now it needs to scale and hit critical mass. I encourage anyone interested in fixing DNS to participate.


How does this p2p dns system prevent dns poisoning?


I'm all for circumventing the government and stiffing big brother.

Will that actually work? Whats to stop the evil America Empire from shutting it down or forcing compliance with the courts.

Even if you put the root servers in other countries friendly to our cause, how long before they bow down to pressure?
