To get in one of these, you'll have to pay them directly in addition to the fees that go to whoever generates the block. This can be done with additional outputs, or you can pay on their site in the traditional Bitcoin way. This is where a registrar is especially useful, since they will know all of the current fee requirements of the various servers, and they can pay them all at once automatically.<br/><br/>People who run their own servers will not get a fee like this, but will rely only on the block fee. Configure your server to require the fee that you think is best, and you will see only those domains that have paid that fee or above.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader">Quote</div><div class="quote">Is this basically "filtering out spamsites"</div><br/>Exactly.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><a href="https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1790.msg27920#msg27920">Quote from: Hal on December 07, 2010, 11:40:29 PM</a></div><div class="quote">What if the consensus is that the Bitcoin network should not be used to support DNS (as I expect)? Then the only alternative is to go forward with a parallel but independent block chain, creating a second currency. Are we ok with that?<br/></div><br/>Bitcoin already supports it technically, though recently a change was made that causes non-standard transactions such as the ones used by BitDNS to be skipped in blocks created by the official Bitcoin client. However, BitDNS transactions produce quite a lot of fees for generators, so if an implementation is created, I expect it will be easy to get a reasonable percentage of miners to ignore this new rule (only like 5% is really necessary).<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader">Quote</div><div class="quote">Are you allowing name changes of the main part of the domain? Like elephantfood.bitdns can change to dogfood.bitdns (if it is available)? Or is this disallowed, in which case, exactly which kinds of name changes are allowed?</div><br/>The left-most part has to stay the same. "theymos.btc" can be changed to "theymos.bc". Everything but the left-most part is advisory: "theymos.btc" can actually appear as "theymos.btcdns". In particular, if someone registers a top-level domain such as "theymos.", most servers will probably map it to "theymos.btc" or something.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader">Quote</div><div class="quote">Would anyone who wants be able to run one of these special DNS servers, or do you envision there being relatively few of these?</div><br/>Anyone can run them. I think the expiry time should be lowered to like 5,000, though, to make it easier to run a server.</div> text/html
