The GNU Name System

I was wondering which names are currently available. Apparently there is a first-come, first serve domain ending in ".pin" but the server is down. "Bad gateway."

So it seems like more of a software project than a running service at this point?

What server are you getting a 502 from?

It's supposedly a decentralized naming system, so running a node/client yourself should be enough to get started, otherwise I don't see how they can call it decentralized. But I'm not finding any links to any source code from this specification, which is to be expected, but my searches are not helping me either.

Start [here](https://www.gnunet.org/en/index.html). The release notes for 0.15.0 talk about about the "First-come-first-served GNUnet top-level domain ".pin" zone key."
