Isn't Handshake the thing premised on IANA handing over control of the DNS to a premined cryptocurrency network so they can resell it? I keep wondering if I can do that with ARP. It's like that episode of The Office with the business seminar and the guy whose business idea is just that he gets a 1c cut of every credit card transaction.

Then not as far as I can tell.

If it's or, then yes. It looks like there is a 15% pre-mine: https://handshake.org/files/handshake.txt
