If DNSCrypt is forced it's even worse. You've limited pool of participants to a much smaller number

And the thing is you can't pay for your windows license using a cryptonote currency - that's just a pipe dream in a world where cryptonote has a large scale functioning economy. (how would you propose you receive the code back btw?)

This was just an example. I wanted to express that this can easily create conflicts with registered and/or known trademarks/names. Google won|t be able to choose @google as alias because so 13 year old kiddie chose to use it as his alias

Pool operators can easily monetize alias generation service. Aliases could be traded OTC or via a third party service. This is the same situation we had and still have with domains where anyone is free to grab, if the technology takes off- (In which case both XMR and BBR holders will have big smiles on their face) squatters may stand a chance at turning a profit, just like the dotcom saga.

True, but it requires extra work/ an infrastructure to build. Also this is no 'real' free market and you can't expect to have low prices here. Why? Imagine a situation with Boolberry being as big as Bitcoin. In this situation the number of blocks is still enough, so that every new user could theoratically register themselves an alias.
Now the market/network share of pools is generated by the things they offer to miners, not what they offer on the alias side. This means, that big pools can cahrge arbitrary high fees to register an alias and everybody would go to the smaller pools, but they won't find enough blocks to give everyone an alias, which creates scarcity and with basic the most basic economic model (supply and demand) this will automatically increase the price for them (if the pool owners, don't raise them, then they will get reselled for a higher price). Because of this people will switch to the other pools, because they have to (the small pools don't find enough blocks, who can satisfy their demand, but then again increase the prices, because the users don't have any choice, but to register their alias there

EDIT: On a sidenote: Creating an arbitrary war between BBR and XMR is a poor move. The devs are working together to strengthen the CryptoNote technology and clean the codebase
