people hate this but people should hate blatant rent seeking behaviours even more.

if channels ever gets decentralised it needs a sort of renting system where you pay rent as a % of total worth and that worth being the price you'd be happy for someone to immediately take it off you.

I still think that ENS system unfairly rewards early birds & squatters rather than incentivise for best use of resources.

how about just using the proven ENS system? what's so bad about a system that allows squatting names? under your proposed system, @javabu.eth would have to pay quite a lot to upkeep /politics or else it could suddenly get sniped overnight by a well-funded attacker, while the channel doesn't have a lot of immediate value to him (yet he does an incredible job of moderating it in a bipartisan and fair way)... seems like an obvious net negative to plutocracize public goods like this

dunno if harberger tax is right here, maybe with a window to up price if someone bids
