Description

More zeronet onion peers are needed in the Config.py "trackers" boostrap list. I would like to propose a solution that involves the "zeronet" entry in Namecoin support (in ZeroName, for which I do not have the source code) as such. Instead of being a map of subdomains --> ZeroNet site addresses, it would be an array of 2 elements, the first one being the current ZeroNet site map, and the second being an array of zeronet peer addresses, as such:

`{ "zeronet": [
{
"" : "1MZTSurvwBMiVGcMgRQTtM1tGnjBbQKA3z",
"penis" : "17xzX33PL2o3GEjX8rNmWJBZgzQypoSA7G",

},

Research direction

Start with Config.py and its trackers bootstrap list, then trace the Namecoin/ZeroName "zeronet" entry; the issue notes that ZeroName source is unavailable. Determine how the proposed peer-address data would be represented and verify that additional ZeroNet onion peers are included in bootstrapping.
