I believe that the core problem is usability. If we can convince router
providers that we have solved the usability issues, we are much more likely
to expect stuff we produce to be used and that is going to make it much
easier to get them to implement.

Every step we ask of consumers reduces the number of likely users by at
least 50% and some say 90%.


Turning configurations into QR codes might seem trivial and unnecessary to
DNSOPS folk but it is really important when it comes to making things 'just
work'.

One option we might look at is companies like Ubiquiti which have been
producing gear that rise above the 1990s tech most in that market seem to
consider acceptable. But that is not my immediate concern. Let's start off
with the problem of how to get a public DNS provider onboard.


What if there was a way that Alice could package up an Ed25519 or Ed448 key
into a URI and that was the only thing she needed to pass to her DNS
authoritative server for them to set up the zone so her applications can
push the updates out to it?
