I can't help but feel jealous and bitter when I come across a news article or whisper.sh message about how people found their true love. Some stories for example about a lady who was nearly murdered by her abusive ex and eventually married the paramedic that saved her life. Also a story about a man about to commit suicide only to receive a mysterious phone call from someone who would eventually become his wife. Source: about 2 years ago

Tbh, I'm surprised it took this long for the app to be taken down. It was 99% scammers. You can verify the app has been taken down by visiting their website and clicking get app. The play store doesn't take you to link to download it and if you search for "whisper," it doesn't show up at all.

It's based on the handshake blockchain https://handshake.org/ and yes, it's outside of DNS from what I have read. I originally assumed that had bought 1,000,000 TLD at $240k each :) which is crazy as its sounds. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

The Handshake [0] project used (uses?) Vickrey auction to auction off the initial supply of names. It had some other cool ideas, such as replacing certificate authorities with self-signed certificates verified by the blockchain. I know everyone hates blockchain, I kind of do too, but Handshake I found genuinely interesting. Disclaimer, I own some Handshake names so you could say I'm shilling for it but mostly the... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

Our stack is built on Handshake. You can know more at handshake.org. Source: about 1 year ago

In the future things might change, there's discussions around decentralization of trust that now has accumulated with a select few (donut domains? Verisign?) Handshake is one such protocol that allows you to have decentralized trust and hence gives you freedom to have your own TLD, porkbun will even sell you one if you'd like but it's very much experimental today.
