We are still here.  We have had to do a little of the “follow the money” as 
the desire to eat stayed with us.

We had public DNS resolvers that did resolve everything from ICANN, OpenNIC, 
Cesidian, INAIC, Namecoin, NameSpace, NewNation, UnifiedRoot, etc.  However 
it was clear that we did not need to handle the attacks to an open resolver.

We are more than happy to resolve the “.ibu” TLD irrespective of OpenNIC’s 
decision.  We are not trying to be consensus based, but closer to 
first-come-first-serve.

Our resolver queries everyone and if there is no conflict, the results are 
returned.  Otherwise a priority mechanism is used.  This way if ICANN 
resolved “A.Example” and OpenNIC resolved “B.Example” and not the other way 
around, correct responses would be returned.  Ecumenicalism at its finest.

Our prime focus is communications security and our rootless domain name 
system is a means to that end.  We are focused on completing our resolver 
that uses our Cryptogram technology (http://shofarnexus.com/Matryoshka) so 
that even the present of DNS traffic is hidden from all eyes.

Give us a bit more time (and a bit more money) and we will make some noise.

Respectfully,

John Kozlowski (http://ShofarNexus.com)

Hey whatever happened to that guy who came here to to sell his .occupy and 
.teaparty TLDs? Also, New-Nations TLDs don't appear resolve anymore (except 
with their own nameservers). We need to be consistent in what TLDs we accept, 
or ICANN will continue to invade our turf.
