🗒️ Conversation Summary: The group discussed proposals for using DNS lookups to publish wallet addresses for Bitcoin transactions. While some suggested using email-like addresses or SRV lookups, others argued that HTTPS mapping was simpler and more secure than DNSSEC. The group also discussed the potential risks of using DNS-based resolving for Bitcoin addresses, including the possibility of MITM attacks.
