Register the name (chipnet), upload the page to Sia, mirror on VPS. Content
consolidates existing docs (silentmode.st/tlds/, INSTRUCTIONS.md) into one
canonical entry point and names the deferred pieces — wallet portal, Sirius
Studio site editor, decentralized git remote — as roadmap items.

<h2>Documentation</h2>
|
||
<p class="lede">The BCNR protocol, the TLD registry, and the wallet/registrar layer — in that order.
|
||
Everything is user-runnable; nothing here requires trusting a server.</p>
|
||
|
||
<h3 style="margin-top:1.4rem">The TLD registry</h3>
|
||
<p class="lede">Under the current design, every second-level name lives beneath a TLD whose
|
||
certificate exists on chain. No TLD cert → no valid name. The full model, current TLD list, and
|
||
verification paths are documented at
|
||
<a href="https://silentmode.st/tlds/" rel="noopener">silentmode.st/tlds/</a>. Fifteen TLDs
|
||
currently minted on chipnet: <code>bch p2p bit nav test x asm neo gt sc sia com dex cex nt</code>
|
||
(<code>.com</code> is held by the operator, not offered for public registration).</p>
|
||
|
||
<h3 style="margin-top:1.4rem">Register a name — end to end</h3>
|
||
<p class="lede">The buyer's certificate mints straight to a wallet they control, in one transaction
|
||
that also publishes the initial records and pays the beacon. Nobody, including the operator,
|
||
can take the name back — the covenant work in progress adds an expiry / reclaim clock but does
|
||
not change who controls the key.</p>
|
||
<ol class="steps">
|
||
<li><b>Search a label across every TLD</b> <span>The registrar fans out to all TLDs in the
|
||
registry in parallel and shows available / taken / held per row.</span></li>
|
||
<li><b>Create or connect a wallet</b> <span>Built-in browser wallet (PBKDF2 → AES-GCM in
|
||
localStorage) or WizardConnect to Cashonize / Paytaca — both mint to the buyer's own key.</span></li>
|
||
<li><b>Confirm the price</b> <span>Miner fee + beacon dust + certificate dust + service fee.
|
||
Chipnet placeholder is 10,000 sat; real pricing is a mainnet decision.</span></li>
|
||
<li><b>The certificate lands in your wallet</b> <span>The name resolves the moment the
|
||
transaction confirms. Records can be set or changed later — only your key can sign a UPD.</span></li>
|
||
</ol>
|
||
|
||
<h3 style="margin-top:1.4rem">Records — where a name points</h3>
|
||
<p class="lede">A registered name carries a small JSON records object. Every record is optional;
|
||
multiple can coexist. The gateway picks in order: <code>h</code> (on-chain inline HTML) →
|
||
<code>s3</code> (Sia bucket key) → <code>ip</code> (host header served by an IP) →
|
||
<code>u</code> (redirect). Subdomains inherit from their parent with a slight priority tweak
|
||
(see <code>record-picker.js</code>).</p>
|
||
|
||
<h3 style="margin-top:1.4rem">Where the chain is authoritative and where the tracker is a cache</h3>
|
||
<p class="lede">A tracker publishes signed snapshots of the TLD registry to Sia and Nostr so
|
||
downstream clients don't have to walk the chain. The chain is the authority; the tracker is
|
||
speed. Every signed snapshot carries a cryptographic <code>root</code> anyone can recompute
|
||
locally from the chain — a lying mirror is caught by any recipient that bothers to check.</p>
|
||
|
||
<div class="note"><b>Runbook — for operators / new sessions:</b> the exact commands to register
|
||
TLDs, mint names, update records, and deploy are in <code>INSTRUCTIONS.md</code> at the repo
|
||
root. The public docs above explain <i>what</i>; the runbook is <i>how</i>.</div>
|
||
</section>
|
||
|
||
<section id="request-tld">
|
||
<h2>Propose a new TLD</h2>
|
||
<p class="lede">The per-TLD registry means minting a TLD is a real, paid action — not a namespace
|
||
land-grab. During the alpha, all TLD mints are operator-signed. To propose a TLD, get in touch
|
||
via the channels below. The design (mainnet) adds an on-chain covenant with countersignature +
|
||
tiered USD price floors: 1-char $100k, 2-char $50k, 3-char $15k, 4-char $5k, 5–8-char $1k,
|
||
9+-char $250; one-time payment (not annual). See the design doc for the full model.</p>
|
||
<div class="note warn"><b>ICANN-adjacent TLDs (<code>.com</code>, <code>.io</code>, …) are
|
||
specifically not open for public mint.</b> They are reserved by the operator to prevent
|
||
squatting, and — under the covenant — even a fully-priced request will not be countersigned.
|
||
A TLD registry is only useful if it does not immediately collapse into an ICANN-shadow.</div>

<h2>What's coming</h2>
|

<p class="lede">sirius.x consolidates docs and registration today; three larger pieces are on the roadmap.</p>
|
||
<div class="grid">
|
||
<div class="card">
|
||
<h3>Wallet & name portal <span class="pill soon">next</span></h3>
|
||
<p>Sign in with your BCNR wallet, see every name you own, edit records inline, mint or renew
|
||
from one place. Same self-custody as today — the portal never handles your keys.</p>
|
||
</div>
|
||
<div class="card">
|
||
<h3>Sirius Studio <span class="pill soon">planned</span></h3>
|
||
<p>An in-browser site editor for names you already own — the WordPress / Tilda / Wix pattern,
|
||
but the whole site persists to Sia and the name's <code>s3</code> record updates on save.
|
||
Sites live where the name says they live.</p>
|
||
</div>
|
||
<div class="card">
|
||
<h3>Decentralized git remote <span class="pill soon">separate track</span></h3>
|
||
<p>Forgejo on the VPS with automated Sia backups, so the git remote for BCNR-related repos
|
||
survives a VPS outage. sirius.x is the canonical URL; the underlying stack is a
|
||
concurrent-session build.</p>
|
||
</div>
|

</div>
|
||
</section>
|
||
|
||
<section id="verify">
|
||
<h2>Verify this page against the chain</h2>
|
||
<p class="lede">You do not have to trust that <code>sirius.x</code> is served by anyone specific.
|
||
The name's certificate is on the Bitcoin Cash chain; the records point to Sia; every path is
|
||
independently checkable.</p>
|
||
|
||
<h3>1. Confirm the certificate exists on chain</h3>
|
||
<pre>node --input-type=module -e "
|
||
import { loadWallet } from './Argus/src/lib/wallet.js';
|

import { resolveName } from './Argus/src/lib/bns.js';

|
||
console.log(await resolveName(w.provider, 'sirius.x'));
|
||
process.exit(0);"</pre>
|
||
|
||
<h3>2. Fetch the TLD-registry snapshot from Nostr</h3>
|
||
<p class="lede">The operator-signed snapshot of the TLD list is published as a Nostr replaceable
|
||
event. Any relay carries it; the event's content field carries the current snapshot root.</p>

<h3>3. Reach this site via more than one route</h3>
|
||
<p class="lede">The same content should be served from at least two independent paths. If one
|

mirror is unavailable, the others still work. If two mirrors disagree, the on-chain record is
|
||
the tiebreaker.</p>
