Anyways, pick up the book Digital Gold, you wont regret it! (oh and I always thought Satoshi registered bitcoin.org and that somewhere a company had his real info, but it was Sirius who did that at his request. Satoshi thought of freaking everyting!)
Yeah, I heard they even paid in cash. Where can I find this book?

Domain Name Systems have an interesting history.
Addresses were assigned manually. Computers, including their hostnames and addresses, were added to the primary file by contacting the SRI Network Information Center (NIC), directed by Feinler, during business hours. Later, Feinler set up a WHOIS directory on a server in the NIC for retrieval of information about resources, contacts, and entities. She and her team developed the concept of domains. Feinler suggested that domains should be based on the location of the physical address of the computer. Computers at educational institutions would have the domain .edu, for example. She and her team managed the Host Naming Registry from 1972 to 1989. (Wikipedia)
I am not sure when or if ICANN made KYC mandatory for domain registration procedures. If I am not mistaken, the specific requirements for domain name registration, including any regulations related to civil ID, may vary depending on the country or registry operator.
Regarding properly securing our personal privacy, it’s worth looking at the work of Cynthia Dwork, the mother of the proof-of-work concept used to combat email spam in the early 90s (!?)
The last time I heard about Cynthia Dwork, she was a distinguished scientist at Microsoft Research. I heard her research on differential privacy is mostly used for protecting privacy in medical records, HIPAA regulations, etc.
That’s a proper “Proof-of-Dwork”
