Impressive!
Time waits for no one.
“You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun
And you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death” -Pink Floyd

This is cool, but another cool feature would be to make sure that the feed in Damus doesn’t see duplicates. So if somebody post something and I follow them and then somebody else I follow repost, then somebody else I follow repost again I get to see the exact same thing three times in my feed And then if I repost it myself, I’ll see that as well.

Storj was trying to do this, but they chose to create their own “governance token”. Which they then tried to portend as a proxy for ownership of the company…. And I think that was the downfall. Lightning #BTC is more respected, liquid and honest. Separate the VC from the money.
So like storj, get “distributed nodes” to compete for a share of the lightning/on chain receipts.
So the more popular a service is, the more receipts it gets and the more the hardware/network gets paid out. So nodes will gravitate towards a need. Very free market…

Applying for a TLD
Applying for a top-level domain (TLD) involves a significant process and financial commitment. You need to apply to ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) to create and operate a registry business supporting the Internet's domain name system. This process includes demonstrating operational, technical, and financial capability to run a registry and comply with specific requirements.
The application process typically includes several stages, such as the String Similarity Panel, which assesses whether a proposed gTLD string is likely to result in user confusion due to similarity with any reserved name, existing TLD, or any requested IDN ccTLD. The application window for new gTLDs has closed in previous rounds, and the dates for the next round have not yet been set. You can stay informed about the latest program news and future application rounds by visiting the ICANN website.
The evaluation fee for each new gTLD application was $185,000 (USD) in the last round, and additional fees may have been incurred based on the application path taken. If the application is successful, the applicant is required to sign a New gTLD Agreement with ICANN, which includes a fixed fee of $6,250 per calendar quarter and a transaction fee of $0.25 once more than 50,000 domain names are registered in the gTLD.
It's important to note that the process is highly complicated and politicized, involving extensive red tape and rigorous evaluations. Therefore, it is crucial to be well-prepared and informed before initiating the application process.
