  2. Decentralized certificate authority and naming
    I personally think something like Handshake[1] would be ideal. However, a major problem with most of these decentralized "internet alternatives" (including Handshake) is that they aren't designed to be compatible with the existing internet, which creates a chicken-egg problem where site operators don't want to bother supporting your system because it has no users, and users don't want to bother using your system because it has no (or few) sites. If someone really wants to replace DNS with a decentralized system, what they need to do is: 1. Develop a well designed decentralized naming system (many have already done this) 2. Buy a TLD on the existing DNS and point it at a proxy server that allows incompatible clients access to your decentralized network through a centralized proxy 3. Work to get support for accessing that TLD the decentralized protocol baked into browsers, first through extensions and eventually natively supported. [1]: https://handshake.org/.
