According to @v we'll probably never see DNS support in Farcaster becasue even prominent devs in the community have poor DNS opsec. I wonder if @icebreaker has a better approach?

Never said that. I think DNS text verification for domains on your profile is a good idea, just not yet top priority.

that's about dns as primary identity (username) which i still feel the same way about this is about dns as a verification (badge on profile saying i also own xyz.com)

The context of the original cast was using DNS to badge people as members of that org for purposes of support. Given this context, I'd argue that this badging should have the same security guarantees as your username. (ie. if allowing DNS for badges, why not both)

Agreed on this. FWIW, Icebreaker already lets anyone with an email generate an onchain indexed VC showing they have an email at that domain. Will eventually support txt based DNS verification too, and continue to interoperate w/ Farcaster verifications. So a verification on one should count on the other. DNS issues notwithstanding, practically speaking, DNS is still the primary source of truth for identity on the internet. Quoting @cdixon.eth - "The only internet objects most people feel as if they own is their websites, and only when they own their own domain names."
