based ethereum address decentralized IP address, Abolish ipv4 and ipv6

[Pantyhose-X]

Proposed Change

THE IDEAL PATH
What if we replace the controlled and surveilled IP addresses with new internet addresses that are based on ethereum address? These addresses will inherit all ethereum address features, i.e., they will be purely decentralized, secure, future-proof, robust, anonymous, unhackable, controlled by no single authority and many more.

Is it just a dream? For now. If this could be true we would be changing the internet as we know it.

• ethereum address + ethereum DNS, access to ethereum domain

win10 network adapters : Enter the ethereum address
Wi-Fi DHCP Static : Enter the ethereum address

IPv4 and IPv6 are centralized. They are controlled by national companies, etc.

Try to Google “Who controls IP addresses?” You’ll promptly get “IANA: the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority.” IANA is the top authority behind IP address allocation and assignment. There are five different regional internet registries (RIR) with jurisdiction under the IANA.

As a matter of fact, as an individual or a normal internet user you cannot request IP addresses directly from IANA or one of the five RIRs, but only from internet service providers, such as the services offered by mobile or telecom operators.

• True decentralization, no official singular Foundation, Committee, Corporation, or entities in permanent unitary control of the protocol.

This is a worthy question. How do you envision to solve it? Can you create a Ethereum Magician thread?

Is this supposed to be a new proposal? If so, you'll need to open a pull request adding a markdown file as specified in EIP-1.

maybe start with a thread at https://ethereum-magicians.org/ ?
https://ethereum-magicians.org/t/about-the-primordial-soup-category/122 might be the best place to triage whether proceeding straight to EIP is better or worse than, e.g., writing an internet-draft and sending it to a relevant IETF mailing list, implementing an existing EIP, etc etc.
