Re: [therightkey] First public DNSChain server went online yesterday!

Paul,

Your understanding is incorrect.

That is not the idea. Docs are on GitHub, and I know you're smart enough to comprehend them.

> If this TLD gets allocated to someone else, or gets blocked by middleboxes

It cannot get allocated by anyone else. It is designed specifically for DNSChain servers, and they will not look that up in the old DNS networks.

You can definitely fork the 120k and own it on the old network. It doesn't matter.

Documentation, that has gone through considerable improvements in the last 24 hours, is still available at the same URL:

https://github.com/okTurtles/dnschain

Cheers,
Greg
