Really easy to use once you own your name. (https://friedger.hns.to) How can you not own your name? There are two many platforms that rent "your" name to you..

@friedger_muffke I completely agree. I’m most excited about the potential to get more people to own their own name on the internet. There will be more things you can do with your Handshake name in the near future😆

@friedger_muffke Totally agree. And I'm particularly excited in seeing how Internet users mindsets' change as we shift from a renting mentality online to an ownership mentality. Decentralized tools, and Handshake specifically, provide some of the first opportunities we have to really accelerate that shift. (Also, friedger/ is great!)

I can't wait to try this out! I especially love how concise the URLs can be and the fact that I wouldn't have to worry about it being blocked. This could also definitely also be useful for dLinks that contain links to helpful resources as we have seen lately that Governments will try to block guides that float around social media. Awesome stuff!

@danielgonzo2016 thanks Gonzo you’re exactly right. I think dLinks is best for individuals/groups who are at the highest risk of being deplatformed or blocked online. Opposition political leaders and news outlets around the world often have to jump through numerous hoops to stay visible online and we think dLinks can help that.

@danielgonzo2016 In creating dLinks, we wanted to focus on creating an easy-to-use tool that could provide a form of digital insurance for your online identity. That also applies to whatever helpful resources those individuals might be trying to ensure people have access to.

We made dLinks to make it easy for anyone to create a decentralized profile using Web 3.0 technologies. The pages themselves are hosted on Sia’s Skynet, which is a decentralized storage network. Normally Skynet files have long names that are hard to remember (hashes) so to make them human-readable we use Handshake which is a decentralized naming system. The end goal is that your dLink can act as insurance for your digital life — if anything ever happens to your account such as getting deplatformed or randomly banned, your followers will always be able to find your latest links on your dLink page!

Handshake is becoming more useful day by day even more with the combination of decentralised storage. dLinks is one of the initial products, showcasing the proof of that. Leveraging the power of handshake + decentralised storage, you yes you the creator can also create great products. The time has come for creators to join the community and build the Internet as it should have been in the first place - "Ownership Secure Decentralised Private". The change will be observable slowly, but all great things are built slowly overtime. Check out my dLink - https://hns.to/bhanupratapsingh

@justgetstart_d We're definitely in this for the long haul. Updating the infrastructure of the Internet (rightfully) takes time. But we're confident Handshake provides a foundation that appeals to the exact values you outlined. Exciting to know there's others on board (and great dLinks)!

Really liked the idea of dlinks and wanted to create my own. I did a bid on my full name on Namebase but a bot snatched it while I was asleep, probably to resell at a high price, how can we make the buying of domains safer for the mainstream user? Hopefully, they will resell it so I can still own my full name on the new internet, but chances are they will only sell it at an insanely high price. I've heard quite some stories about these practices.

Hey @markk_marksen, super sucks to hear your name was sniped by a bot :( We're working on making the auction process more clear, in the meanwhile it may be helpful to know that Handshake auctions were designed in a way to enourage bidders to place their true bids once, masked with a blind. That way if you do get outbid, you're comfortable with the fact that someone else was simply willing to pay more for the name than you. Something that could also help is a bidding service where Namers could simply share how much they'd be willing to bid on a name, and we (Namebase) place the bid for you without the Namer ever needing to touch HNS tokens or learn how the auctions work. Hopefully you'll be able to reacquire your name in the Namebase Marketplace for a reasonable price! Until then, happy naming~
