Since both Dorsey and Musk have their fingers in this pie, I have to ask to what extent is atproto designed to push cryptocurrency?

IoT is the grey goo

@MikeBeas @millions @pierce BTW, I don't believe you can have a distributed naming system without some centralization. So I'm getting a whiff of snake oil here.

APub naming has DNS as its basis.

@tasket @millions @pierce atproto usernames are straight up dns entries. read up on it. my atproto username is @mikebeas.com because i added a TXT record to my domain confirming ownership of it. now i can host my atproto data anywhere i want and my username will remain the same.

usernames on the bsky.social domain are the same way. you can hold onto the username and move your data anywhere in the network you want.

its all documented on their site and currently working in the beta.
