I have an idea: although Nostr is actively working to eliminate its reliance on DNS, certain aspects still temporarily require DNS for functionality. If the Nostr community could establish an eTLD service (similar to js.org and eu.org), it would provide an option for those unwilling to spend money or attention on domain names. These domains would be managed by an organization within the Nostr ecosystem. Any Nostr user could obtain domain usage rights for a reasonable fee. All organizations within the Nostr eTLD would use these fees to maintain the domain allocation service, thereby controlling issues arising from domain expiration.
Until the day Nostr completely eliminates its DNS dependency.
