Sherpa Founders Series: Gateway.io as Cypherpunk Activism: Decentralizing the Internet – with Mike Carson

Developer/programmer & Park.io founder Mike Carson has recently launched Gateway.io, a new EPP based registrar built to serve handshake TLDs. This is an interesting partnership with NameBase.io, the biggest exchange for handshake TLDs and handshake coins, as well as with James Stevens, the former CTO of the dot-IO registry, who is creating the registry operator (like Afilias or VeriSign) specific for handshake TLDs.

– First, Mike clearly explains the decentralized protocol behind handshake.org and why that is important.
– We discuss the values behind this, cypherpunk activism, and how this prevents certain concerns. We discuss what impact this does have and has the potential to have on the entire internet.
– Mike explains the TLD options and how to purchase and/or utilize these new assets.
– And we even review & walk you through a screenshare for resolver options for utilizing seeing these handshake TLDs!

Frankly, anyone who uses the internet and wants to know what the future may look like, and certainly any individual who invests in domains or corporate brand manager, will benefit from today’s show!

      Thanks Paolo, for listening, and for your comment

        Yo Mike!

        How do we get this “Free” subdomain or “Endless subdomains” for free once we win a TLD auction?

        So say I won .ekxd how could I utilize it?

        Cheers bro!

        1. Mike Carson says:

          Hi! you can use it like any other domain. You have to set the name servers for the TLD itself on the blockchain. And from there you can use the name servers that you set to create subdomains. If you’d like to add your TLD to a registry so that registrars can sell subdomains on them, you can do it form namebase.io

            Thanks Mike, really appreciate it!
