Do cloudflare want to be registrar for other foreign TLDs in the future?

I would love to see them support TLDs such as .dk, .de, .it etc. That way both me and my clients could begin consolidating domain registration in one place, instead of using expensive and shitty domain registration management services. Harder ones, like Tonga (.to) or Greenland (.gl) would be nice to have as well, but I don't think it's feasible (or possible even) to integrate with all countries.

Yes, we do.

Hell, yeah. Get into hosting next. Destroy the whole internet. It's what the 'competition' deserves.

Is this sarcasm?

Presumably, but they have a poorly-articulated point -- Cloudflare has an incredible potential for (even unintentional) destructive effect based on their extreme consolidation and centralization of internet technologies. I think a terrific example of this is when they put a DNS server on 1.1.1.1 (in historically unused address space which was assigned to APNIC for research purposes), got a certificate for the IP address, then added that certificate to the Chrome HSTS preload list, meaning people who ended up on captive portals on 1.1.1.1 (and there are a _lot_ of them) couldn't access the internet, because instead of observing what people _actually_ do and paving the cowpaths, they took the point of view that acting against the standards was punishable, and the people being punished are nontechnical folks visiting hotels and airports who are using a modern browser (it has since been removed from the preload list, but if you're foolish enough to visit the site you'll still get HSTS-poisoned).

An even better example, of course, is Cloudbleed, but I guess we've all agreed to pretend that never happened?

Thank you for articulating these points, agreed. They seem to have an insatiable desire to "become" the internet. I also find it bazaar that their CTO submits every single one of their blog posts to HN. This is the 16th Cloudflare blog post they've posted to HN this week. You would think they might have a marketing budget.
