time to use public/private key-pairs to identify address owners, like yggdrasil-network does it for example, instead of antiquated centralized dns

Extant since 2012 and this is the first I have heard of them. Incredible!

This is badass. I use NextDNS. So if I switch to opennic, is there another domain filter that you recommend, or would the questionable domains be unavailable (google.com, Facebook.com, etc) anyways?

What is that? I've read most of the thing and I still don't have a clue.

If I understand correctly, root means that they are authoritative. They are effectively independent of the classical root DNS servers and provide custom top level domains (TLDs) such as .geek which are not available in the regular DNS system. Non root DNS servers merely relay requests to root servers or other DNS servers and cache response records according to their time to live (TTL).

Most DNS systems just act as a cache for the "root" domain name servers controlled by ICANN, an American corporation.

This operates independently and adds their own, additional, top level domains.

That last part is what is catching my attention the most.
Does that mean that those domains can only be seen through their dns servers? Or just registered through them and everyone can see them?

Looks like using any other dns only has down sides.

Yes it means those domains can only been resolved though their DNS servers.

Repeating the first line of text doesn't help much. I've heard of DNS servers, but root? This is the first time. I'm trying to read about it and still can't see the difference.
