FoBaNS Follower Based NameService
=================================
This concept was created after reading [this tweet from myEtherWallet](https://twitter.com/myetherwallet/status/867425301403324417) and realizing even more that I will not have control over walleth.eth to use for the [WALLETH project](http://walleth.org) :-( still have some small hopes for wall.eth though ;)
These are the main problems I see with the current ENS implementation:
* who owns a domain name is determined by who has the most money
* names are squatted (and squatting leads to reduced usefulness of the system)
To solve these problems I suggest the following alternative NameService:
* everyone can make n mappings between a string and a NS-Record
* mappings for each entity in the system are unique
* Every entity can follow other entities - If a name is not in my mapping the resolver resolves the names from the entities that are followed - we can also go deeper this chain.
