the Namers chat on Discord for Namebase.io (cool community) the Handshake_HNS room on telegram
Surprised it didnt exist already
From their restrictions page: Due to regulatory reasons in the US (we're not happy about it either), Namebase accounts are restricted in functionality until they have successfully been verified. Once an account has been verified, it'll be able to:
Trade on Namebase Pro (non-US only)
Withdraw HNS (non-US only)
Buy and Sell HNS with BTC (global)
Buy and Sell HNS with USD (US only)
Before an account has successfully verified, it'll still be able to: Transfer HNS into its cloud wallet
Bid on Handshake names
Withdraw Handshake namesWebsites instead of being http://whatever.com are just http://whatever/
It offers free free NS Hosting, free web hosting, free blog hostting, and free URL redirection for Handshake.org TLDs. No account is required (as per their website): https://dns.live/hosting.html
is the free hosting link
To learn more about it they have a start page: https://dns.live/start.html
And here are two excellent turorials on it: https://www.namebase.io/blog/how-to-access-handshake-domains... and from Namebase.io (the ONLY TLD auction) has a good write up on NextDNS and how to get it going: https://www.namebase.io/blog/how-to-access-handshake-domains...
Namebase.io is like the auction system to obtain the domains, dns.live lists them and offer hosting
For me I just enabled Nextdns on all my devices and checked the handshake slider so I can see websites like http://ix
Regular dns works as it should and it blocks trackers etc.
The default blacklist for NextDNS is really good too; stops a lot of Windows phone home stuff too, and can easily see all that.
Don't add a bunch of blacklists though or websites break
this is cool i may contribute to the code. super busy though. I love IRC, and we have many challenges to face but this is the right direction
saw your last posts on your acc. keep up the good work. how can we all help tho?>
i just use stuff that works
check out http://www.nextdns.io (like Pi-hole) gives you control over things like ads, blacklists, etc
set your DNS Servers to whatever it says, mine are
45.90.28.42
45.90.30.42
and go to that website https://my.nextdns.io
click settings and enable handshake
then you're good to go and can access TLDs from the chain
check out http://ix
took me 2 minutes to figure it out
I'd love for browsers to support HTTPs on these TLDs.
Firefox already supports NextDNS, there's instructions on how to set up DNS over HTTPS
I'm kinda liking nextdns anyways over 1.1.1.1 (cloudflare)
project has my interest
