based monero address decentralized IP address, Abolish ipv4 and ipv6

Open Pantyhose-X opened this issue 11 months ago • 9 comments

THE IDEAL PATH What if we replace the controlled and surveilled IP addresses with new internet addresses that are based on monero address? These addresses will inherit all monero address features, i.e., they will be purely decentralized, secure, future-proof, robust, anonymous, unhackable, controlled by no single authority and many more.

Is it just a dream? For now. If this could be true we would be changing the internet as we know it.

  • monero address + monero DNS, access to monero domain

win10 network adapters : Enter the monero address Wi-Fi DHCP Static : Enter the monero address


IPv4 and IPv6 are centralized. They are controlled by national companies, etc.

Try to Google “Who controls IP addresses?” You’ll promptly get “IANA: the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority.” IANA is the top authority behind IP address allocation and assignment. There are five different regional internet registries (RIR) with jurisdiction under the IANA.

As a matter of fact, as an individual or a normal internet user you cannot request IP addresses directly from IANA or one of the five RIRs, but only from internet service providers, such as the services offered by mobile or telecom operators.

  • True decentralization, no official singular Foundation, Committee, Corporation, or entities in permanent unitary control of the protocol.

So your proposal is to essentially implement namecoin into monero ? Also the title is off-topic. You can't ban IPv4 or IPv6. These are the instrinsics of the internet, that's why its called Internet Protocol. DNS is giving out IP address to connect to. Or do you refer to an overlay network on top of monero daemon ??

I don't want to sound harsh but you don't understand what you're talking about...

No, it doesn't work that way. Also I think you need to learn what is BGP and RPKI
