Naming systems are an important component of any networked information system. It’s difficult to imagine how the Internet could have been adopted by the masses had it not been for the Domain Name System, which translates machine-readable IP addresses into human-readable domain names. Blockchains, with their long and complex address formats, suffer from a similar problem. One might think a solution would be to apply the same naming system architecture we have for the public Internet to public blockchains. But DNS, in the eyes of many, is a largely flawed system. Centrally controlled by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), Internet domain names are vulnerable to censorship and barriers to entry are kept artificially high ?'” registering a new Top Level Domain (ex: .epicenter) costs hundreds of thousands of dollars.

We’re joined by Alex Van de Sande and Nick Johnson to discuss their approach to creating an open, secure and decentralized naming system for the Ethereum Network. The Ethereum Naming System (ENS) allows users to register .eth domain names, which can be used in supporting Ethereum wallets and clients. Names are reserved by placing a deposit in a smart contract and can be mapped to any Ethereum addresses. So rather than sending funds to 0x8cd…0935, one would simply need to type a memorable name like epicenter.eth into their wallet. Backed by the Ethereum Foundation, ENS will likely become the defacto standard for name registration in Ethereum.

Topics discussed in this episode:

• Alex and Nick’s respective backgrounds and roles in the Ethereum Foundation
• How the Internet’s Domain Name System works
• The problems and pain points with DNS and how it is governed today
• What is ENS and what problems it is addressing
• The ENS auction system and how names are registered
• The different parties involved in ENS
• ENS’s technical architecture and governing smart contract
• The current governance model of ENS and future plans for increased decentralization of governance
• ENS’s economic model and technical roadmap

bitcoin wallet provider and security platform Airbitz has released an update allowing users to choose which nodes they connect to.

Airbitz: Choice Is Part Of ‘bitcoin Ethos’

In a post Monday, the company cited “choice” as part of the “bitcoin ethos” as motivation for letting wallet holders decide the nodes they want to relay transactions with.

Our latest release, v 2.4.1, is now out in iOS and Android! https://t.co/uj5wo0hAOq pic.twitter.com/KExIodjODP

“We realize that part of the bitcoin ethos is choice, and while consensus eventually needs to be met, the process by which we get there involves a vote on how to move the protocol forward,” the post reads.

Airbitz hopes to enable users to exercise their vote and support their protocol implementation of choice.

Scaling-Heavy But Still Neutral?

The move appears heavily tied to the ongoing bitcoin scaling debate. Airbitz users can now select whether to use nodes supporting a specific solution, such as bitcoin Core, bitcoin Unlimited or bitcoin Classic.

The wallet provider has traditionally taken a neutral stance towards any one solution, criticizing those taking sides at the expense of progress.

“At Airbitz, we do not take a stance on preferring one implementation of bitcoin over another,” a previous blog post from March read.

Instead, we believe the industry needs both bigger blocks, like bitcoin Unlimited proposes, and scaling solutions, such as Segregated Witness from bitcoin Core.

It added at the time that a hard fork of the bitcoin network “is both unlikely to happen, and unlikely to result in the continued existence of the weaker chain.”

No Full User Control

The latest incarnation of the wallet meanwhile privileges connection quality over customer preferences.

“The Airbitz architecture by default connects to various Electrum based public bitcoin nodes to query and send transactions to the bitcoin network,” Monday’s post continues.

Part of that architecture, which is inherent to other mobile, light-client SPV wallets, is to choose nodes that follow the longest chain.

“You can enter as many servers as you wish, but note that Airbitz will only connect to 4 nodes and will chose those that provide the best network connectivity.

The release mimics that of bitcoin Core’s latest update, which facilitates an opt-in system whereby non-SegWit supporting miners can still be accepted.

Airbitz has also taken an increasing interest in revitalized DAOs in recent months, having in November partnered with Wings.ai to increase its Blockchain app security portfolio.
