Is there an alternative way to register a domain that cannot be seized? It seems like domain seizure is the one thing that enables internet censorship. Is there some sort of block chain base registrars out there? I’m genuinely curious.

From what I know, the for network fits this

  1. They need to have access to the private key to seize (and even then, the site can be taken back to warn others)
  2. Lack of centralised link buying service

i2p or tor addresses. Which aren’t popular because it’s hard for both admin & user.

Is there some sort of block chain base registrars out there?

There are handshake domains, which are distributed on a blockchain, but sites that use them won’t resolve in browsers by default

I think one way is to use a domain host that is located in some country that doesn’t care at all.

You can’t have valid HTTPS on bare IPs.

yah i forgor about that
but technically you can, but with a self signed certificate only (ehich are less secure; or by asking people to set up the dns manually)
with self signed certs you don’t lose encryption, but the client won’t be able to make sure that it’s connecting to your server specifically

Technically they could by manually verifying the cert from somewhere offline.
