Have you ever considered using the Bitsquare platform as a domain name exchange?

Check out [Sedo.com](http://Sedo.com), [Afternic.com](http://Afternic.com), [Namejet.com](http://Namejet.com), etc.

They charge 15-20% for domains and their systems are centralized. This would be an amazing service and you can build in the [Escrow.com](http://Escrow.com) API or your own.

You would allow individuals to sell domains directly instead of going through centralized expensive exchanges.

Perhaps in the future Bitsquare becomes a market not just an exchange. Bitsquare is still in it’s early days, but we might see this happen one day. Either way, I doubt domain name sales implementation will be separated from the implementation of the rest of the markets.

I would imagine OpenBazaar would be a better decentralized marketplace for domain selling. It wouldn’t surprise me if it’s already happening

Now, if we could just get that elusive domain name system 🙂 I noticed github commits for namecoin were very high compared to a lot of top 20 cryptos the other day. Perhaps that project hasn’t drawn it’s last breath and I know there are other attempts being made.

I think Tor network made a good system for domain names of hidden services. Simple, private and secure. Derived from hashes of a public key and no site exists without a public key, that is maybe the future.

Yes, HS are fantastic! mapping readable name to the onion might be a useful service, prob. there are but i am not aware of it.
