That's just an immediate non-starter then. Nobody is following all of these esoteric systems in the case that one of them gains marketshare, it guarantees that people will be phished and defrauded as soon as they use it. We had this issue with namecoin already, where people went and registered names of prominent people and tried to use that to solicit fraudulent donations.

That’s a fair point and I share the same concern. I would have allowed anyone that owns a domain and can prove it, to get their domain for free in the new system. You could do the proof similarly to how Let’s Encrypt does it
