Tor,

I am not sure if this the correct forum for this question and if not =
would you direct me there; however:

I am aware that there is a Project Idea (under =
https://www.torproject.org/getinvolved/volunteer.html.en#improvedDnsSuppor=
t) point q. Improved DNS support for Tor; however has there been any =
exploration or development of a fully fledged DNS system for Tor that =
could give human readable names to hidden services?

This could give full DNS control over the domain and expand on the =
project listed above.  This would give a step advance in usability of =
Hidden Services and therefore the user traffic and public awareness.

If further consideration is given to also pursuing the registration of =
the .onion domain as a TLD, this could also open further publicity and =
revenue for the Tor Project.   The domain auctions for .tv and .co =
raised significant revenue for the Tuvalu and Colombian countries not to =
mention the managing organisations.

Has any of this been looked at previously or are there reasons why this =
is not being pursued?
=20
Yours sincerely
