Handshake.Mastermind - Epic Round Table Discussions on HNS and dWeb Clubhouse truly is taking over, the FOMO is real! Mark Smith, from Namesake.domains and many others went out and bought an iPhone for it. I fight my daughter for the family iPad for it. Yet it definitely seems worth it. On Jan 30-31, 2021 Mark Smith initiated an amazing “meeting of the minds” on Clubhouse in the Domain investment space and the Handshake / dWeb space and it turned into an epic 5 hour+ deep discussion. We made a recap post on this in the Handshake.mercenary forum here http://handshake.mercenary.hns.to/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=180 I was tempted to record it for re-use - but as it was an experiment and first call - we decided to hold off. BUT LET’S ORGANIZE THIS. Introducing - Handshake.mastermind The idea popped in - this is more than a Clubhouse call - this is a MASTERMIND. And the SkyInclude team does have that mastermind/ TLD - so let’s get it to good use: Handshake.mastermind is live! Just a simple landing page now with an email signup. Signup and get email alerts on future Clubhouse calls and other “mastermind” sessions on the topic of Handshake and HNS. We will also do our best to record these sessions and make them readily available for those who missed it. The main goal is to bring people together to learn, but also to organize the community. As a decentralized community, organizing and coordinating and community is of the utmost importance. So join us in this journey, open your mind, open your ears, and open your mouth! Let’s make this happen. Read this post on Handshake.Mercenary (DNS version) http://handshake.mercenary.hns.to/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=185 ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMfggaglsRY

ENS domains vs HNS, What are the differences of Ethereum Name Service and Handshake? We are all students in today’s newly developing blockchain internet , web 3, aka dWeb. full post at https://skyinclude.com/ens-vs-hns/ How will domain names work in this future internet. ENS Domains is an early solution for using blockchain tech, specifically Ethereum, to register domain names via a smart contract on ETH. The main website is ens.domains/ Handshake, HNS, is another solution (FYI and disclosure, we at SkyInclude are biased to Handshake due to our vested interest) that is on its own blockchain and POW (Proof of Work), called Handshake - with a whitepaper and more information on handshake.org All of us at Handshake welcome ENS domains for collaborations and alliances. So let’s go through each point of difference. Also a great resource on this was posted in Namebase’s Namer News - https://news.namebase.io/post/2093 Point 1: Naming convention ENS domains - currently mainly used on .eth TLD of ICANN. So when you register a domain (as of April 2021) you are registering myname.eth BUT - after studying ENS domains more, the idea is ENS can use its blockchain technology on any ICANN TLD. The thought process being that ENS is the blockchain solution on top of the current internet. So .xyz for example can also use the ENS domains technology and network of integrations. HNS domains - are not technically domains, but TLDs (domain extensions). So when you are bidding on and using a Handshake name, you are using what is “to the right of the dot”. And 99.9% of these are not overlapping with the current ICANN TLD (meaning you cannot register .com on Handshake, that is reserved for the legacy internet) So if you win .skyinclude (which we here own) - we can setup a http://skyinclude/ at the root, or, use http://setup.skyinclude/ as a normal domain you are used to. But to be clear, currently the Handshake blockchain will not keep track of the SLD ownership, only the TLD ownership and records. Point 2: Financial Proceeds ENS - when you buy a name - myname.eth , you are sending money to a private wallet controlled by a group of 7 people. When you bid on a handshake name - the second highest bid amount is burned from the highest bidder’s bid amount. Point 3 : Integrations ENS has been around longer and is ahead currently on integrations. You can access a site if you have Meta Mask on your browser for example. HNS is catching up with integrations, NextDNs supports Handshake, hdns.io was developed by Namebase to make it super simple, Puma Browser supports it natively, hns.to is an easy way, and there is hopes Brave browser supports it soon. Point 4: Ownership ENS - you are paying a yearly fee + gas fees. Sure, you can register for 100 ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hg1ytvzTMr0
