In terms of number of ID’s per account there will be a rolling limit of three to begin with.

People will create multiple accounts to bypass the limit… unless it costs Safecoin to create an account?

@dirvine

If the network can clean then we ill be good, but also paying once is a really neat feature of safety in many ways.

Agreed, the Network should charge Safecoin per Public ID. Treat it like a “special PUT” request because Public ID’s are considered (unique), therefore costs more than regular data.

EDIT: Great suggestion by @happybeing

@happybeing

If we can apply a charge to an ID it should be a multiple of the current PUT cost rather than a quantity of Safecoin - so that the cost remains a deterrent but affordable rather than rocketing if Safecoin rises in value.

At the very least, this increases demand for Safecoin, and helps recycling.

Elephant in the DNS room.
Obviously, the cost/value of Public ID’s (Domain Names) are highly subjective. The Network only sees “data” so pricing can be done arbitrarily (1SC per ID), and then human markets take over, assuming these ID’s are transferable.

If each Safecoin is unique SD data on the SAFE Network, can Public ID’s be treated the same way, using previous and current owners? Just wondering.

What about this alternative: Anyone can register any domain name by providing a public key. This name + public key (hash) is the actual internal network address. For every domain name, the network maintains a ranked list of such addresses. Rank here is simply a numeric value equal to the amount of SafeCoins paid to the network for that address. By default, the browser resolves a domain name to the highest ranked address. Additional SafeCoins can be paid for an address by anyone to proportional…
