I don't quite understand what is meant by “[a] URI into a DHT”,
but the URN's I'm interested in are perfectly suitable for
communication, be it in writing, e-mail, or World Wide Web.
For instance, if you're interested in bits signed by me in
GNUnet, check [1].
[1]
gnunet://fs/sks/TU6GGH9COPQLPQTG919BB0QVEVIO1SF1IRGI7ACBGOHKVPNCGRUQG98H4DTTPDNDVMV83E8SI51GR66AL6S47BLLK4LULR8J1A7T188/ivan
What I mean is that
gnunet://fs/sks/TU6GGH9COPQLPQTG919BB0QVEVIO1SF1IRGI7ACBGOHKVPNCGRUQG98H4DTTPDNDVMV83E8SI51GR66AL6S47BLLK4LULR8J1A7T188/ivan
requires that you have the gnunet software installed, and generally you
are typing that URL into the gnunet software. It's not like there's a
gnunet protocol and API that is generally accessible across the net.
This is simply a representation of a gnunet DHT key.
