this system can help deliver names without any central server.
how it works is instead of trying to solve zookoo’s triangle with a single name for an entinty.
you use three names for an entity.
- key - global and securely unique hard to forge - basically /ipns/ urls work for this.
- nickname - suggested name for an entity. (not required).
- petname - a name local to you that maps petname <-> key dual way.
petnames are not shared.

this system integrated into ipfs would help solve the naming issues without using a blockchain system.
