> I'm not proposing to abandon ipv6, but at this point I'm really not sure how we proceed here. The status quo is maintaining two separate competing protocols forever, which was not the ultimate intention.

The end game will be a cryptographically large address space allocated based on some cryptographic operation, rather than a committee carving up the space arbitrarily.

Tor already does this, addresses allocation is not a problem. I think they used to use hashes, but now use Ed25519 public keys. Obviously, Tor is not suitable for most tasks. No one should have to pay for the extra latency if they don't need the anonymity.

The real problem is routing in these address spaces, and there have been a few projects like CJDNS which try to solve it.
