What is stopping someone from just starting up an alternative DNS system? Like, if you control some DNS servers, and convince people to use them, you can make any domain name point to any IP address, right? I understand the "network effect" barrier, but can we just make our own DNS (with blackjack and hookers)?
- Yes, and people have tried before (just running an alternate root). In this case, it's just the network effects that get you.
  There have also been decentralized attempts, but either they're not global (petnames) or they're shitcoins.
- hey I like making alternative DNS services and helping people who need them, take this
