so I want to begin pushing away from DNS. I _know_ it's possible but like how?

I'm familiar with DHT (Distributed Hash Tables) and a bit about SSB (Secure Scuttlebutt) but like I want to see if this is something I can get in a browser (or if there's a request library of sorts).

@vincent lightly - this still relies on centralized DNS (initial resolution from .eth) for bootstrapping. That might be slightly unaviodable unless it refuses to attempt resolution of any address without the whole ledger pulled

@jalcine it doesn’t really, .eth is on a different root than the rest of DNS. Also Ethereum has a (prototype) light client protocol, so one can fetch only the information required for a lookup from peers. It’s probably better for privacy to have the whole ledger pulled though.
