Welp! I did it, I went and registered a .gopher address with https://www.opennic.org/. My Gopher phlog is now also accessible at gopher://stjohn.gopher (if you're using OpenNIC's DNS servers).

I love the idea of an alternative DNS infrastructure with new domains. My blog has already been available at stjohn.bit for ages, which uses a related alternate TLD run on blockchain technology. Will any of these alternate systems amount to much? Probably not. But you'll have to drag me away kicking and screaming to stop me taking part :P
