"An experimental peer-to-peer root naming system."
What are your thoughts on it? Do you think it'd be big enough for browsers to adopt it in the future? Especially with ".js" TLD being on the HNS (instead of DNS), I am anticipating it'd blow big but I feel that that it's largely dependent on browsers enabling it.
My 2 cents from reading about it - the HNS token can barely be found anywhere - you need to be able to get it on popular exchanges.
They use the token so the cost stops squatters but when I looked at domains on auction there appears to be a lot of random 4 letter domains sitting there waiting to be bought
As op says browsers would need to integrate it (and/or wallet extensions)
HNS also lost a number of core contributors about a year ago. The guy who ruined freenode is largely running HNS behind the scenes and is also invested in Namecoin.
tlds being owned by singular people under hns don't exactly fix the issue, do it
