This looks legit. I haven't fully crunched through the whole paper but the parts that I have managed to read make sense and seem well considered.

Hello you can read more about it here: https://spacesprotocol.org/paper/

To be honest, I have read it a few times but I still haven't been able to understand it completely. Because I am not a technical guy.

Usernames (venmo, twitter, instagram, etc..) and domain names, but they don't have to be owned by a trusted third party. They can't be taken away and can be used without permission. It's like getting rid of banks and the fed reserve, but for naming.
Even the encrypted traffic you use to submit to https://stacker.news is signed by someone else's keys (not the owner of this site). It requires the use of a trusted 3rd party certificate authority
Spaces fixes this

Thanks for clarifying.

Yes, I've read it, I also don't understand where this system is actually going.

So, if I own a space name, I own it as a domain? That's what it is used for?
reply
you can use it for anything, it is a generalized decentralized naming system built on Bitcoin. You can use it for nostr, for identity, domain names, to resolve onion address, for bip353, etc..

This looks cool! It would have been better if you had provided a little context or some use cases in the description!
