Bug: [unknownabcd1234].eth for names I have favorited

When I view my name list at ENS App most of them are of the form [unknownabcd1234].eth. If I click on them, they correctly display the name, I think because I have them favorited or I have recently searched for them. However, I cannot get them to correctly display the textual string in the “My Names” list.

This is because ENS only stores the hashes of names, not their preimages. We know some preimages from registration events and from a general dictionary, but we don’t know them all.

Can you please file bugs and feature requests at https://github.com/ensdomains/ens-app/issues/new instead of on the forums?

I have the identical issue–unknown name in names list but name shows when I click on it.


Address: 0x5b4981355c62c555c59547974807b715b87a24e7 name is ettally.eth and shows when I click on it sometimes, sometimes not. ENS make up your mind! Didn’t it used to remember the name once you identified it?

Here’s another couple unknowns I cannot find the name for: [unknownfe79e65f42].eth and
[unknown4b535d4dca].eth These are names are under my account but I can’t figure out what the name is. I saw something how to determine that but lost the guide to do it.
