@chjara crypto is the only working asset without US intervention as of now, the digital euro might help but I'm not sure we can trust the ECB here

While trying to work around US sanctions is pretty much going outlaw.

Exchangers which would also be subject to the threat of US sanctions.
What's truly left is cash and physical donations like hardware, also good luck with paying registrars.

Problem is more like… then you need a country that's a bit "Fuck USA" but also not anti-leftist-activism (so Russian, China, … are out).

onion services have a long random string in the "name" which makes them hard to remember but tamper-proof, the only way to change that is to centralize trust

@novenary @chjara @xerz DNS isn't out of thin air, it's bootstrapped from raw IP addresses (13 of them in fact), with also the nice effect that NS (nameserver) records are just hostnames.
Tor or something based on it could technically (there's nasty political issues) go: Here's a list of nameservers for .name.onion, here's how to register.

@senhara @yawnbox @soatok I see you didn’t get any replies that fulfilled my curiosity, so
https://tor.stackexchange.com/questions/711/onion-domains-dns-lookup#712
https://spec.torproject.org/rend-spec/overview.htmlit seems like there’s something that’s kinda-but-not-really-like authoritative DNS servers, and it’s split in two parts: the first one are Hidden Service Directories (or “HSDir”s), they take care of holding a copy of the relevant hidden service descriptors that your server generates
that… does seem to imply a third-party, centralized single source of truth, doesn’t it? well, it is, but Tor tries to take care of that
https://spec.torproject.org/rend-spec/deriving-keys.html
https://spec.torproject.org/rend-spec/shared-random.htmlthe HSDir is constantly changed every 3 hours, and needs to be found out by clients — this is accomplished by knowing a shared random value (“SRV”) that (and here’s the kicker) is generated via consensus among the directory authorities, the second part of the puzzle
https://spec.torproject.org/dir-spec/index.html
https://spec.torproject.org/dir-spec/outline.htmla list of authorities is shipped with Tor, and then your client just goes and asks any one of them about the result of the consensus
…there’s also HSDir and directory caches tho, which: I need to go eat dinner now, sorry
