It’s a command-line interface that allows you to do “anything Monero”. You will find details in the linked resources and can get a better idea by looking at the screenshots.
This one is technically not true until you add Punycode support - and only if you manage to remain below XMR.ID’s user count by that time :D
(Without Punycode, staying RFC-compliant, and applying XMR.IST’s restriction of 30-characters max, we could provide roughly a count of 30^37-1-<amount of users>, but even if we had a 10-chars limit, the number would still be unfathomable.)
Curiously, most ended up preferring a less readable XMR ID, leaving many common and given names available.
Maybe this is because nowadays we tend to assume the good ones online to be taken - so it’s actually a great idea that you point that out! Let’s see how it affects the trend.
In personal discussions, people of such credentials confirmed that they also just “trust the [academic] process” and “don’t have time” to check the foundations of their convictions. And that they didn’t know, but “there surely was someone specialized” who does.
More clearly, in this context, saying you trust your mate is equal to saying you trust your recorder that is replaying the cassette that someone happened to have left in it.
Personally, when I opened the link yesterday, I wondered if I was looking at a product for 4-year olds: Big round shapes, bright colors, … and nothing that would give me a clue about what I am actually looking at.
I might simply not be in it, but who’s the target audience here?
It’s from monero.graphics. It could use an extra dot, I agree :)
The theme resonated - especially in the context of OpenAliases - as I consider more personal and memorable Monero destinations an important factor in the context of building parallel economies, human to human, thus making Monero “greater” through use.
Manipulation of any record would immediately trigger a notification to all affected users, leaving me with nothing but a destroyed reputation.
The most granular use I can think of is telling someone in-person to load your XMR ID on their device and then confirming what you see.
Coupled with a client that stores the result in a local address book - and compares it with the current DNS responses every time - even senders can be sure that they are still working with valid information.
(An extension to the official Monero client supporting this is in the works.)
The time required depends on where you start. Someone who knows how to register a domain but has yet to read up on OpenAlias will probably need about an hour or two (if we do not take into account the hassles associated with DNSSEC with many registrars).
Then the cost of a privately registered domain starts at around 15 dollars per year, whereas the same is roughly the one-time price of a permanent XMR ID with two domains secured against each other (meaning that both, DUKETHORION.xmr.id and DUKETHORION.xmrid.com will return the same Monero destination). Wallets can opt to verify this.
Whenever someone would publish their experiences with AllArk on Reddit, the thread would get “downvoted into oblivion”, with some people raising concerns of them themselves using bots to do so.
I also remember seeing an email log of a user “losing” a couple of hundreds to that same entity. I thought that was on monero.observer, but cannot seem to find it now.
Maybe someone else feels inclined to dig something up, but in general, just be very careful with what people recommend in the space. Most of the time they saw it mentioned somewhere and, with best intentions, just pass it on.
