I think we probably need to start with something simpler first.

I put some ideas down in this post here: AntTP - Serving Autonomi data over HTTP - #55 by Traktion

Essentially, there are a few steps:

  1. We can use QR Codes to help with sharing XOR addresses, which is handy when you can’t physically click a link (e.g. on a flyer, an advert, etc).
  2. We can bookmark XOR addresses and give them a friendly name. By default, bookmarks are searched when you type in the URL bar too, so the experience is pretty good.
  3. We share our bookmarks with others as our ‘pet names’ for sites. Maybe this forms a sort of curated list of names for XOR addresses, but it’s decentralised.
  4. Once we have a search engine, finding XOR addresses by names/keywords gets much easier, especially if some sort of ranking system can be used.

Maybe there is room for a de-facto domain names, but I suspect it will either have to be a gold rush, free for all, filled with squatters trying to extort folks. Or, it has centralised elements, which seems at odds with what Autonomi is all about.
