[liberationtech] Namecoin: secure, anti-censorship naming system based on bitcoin
by Fabio Pietrosanti (naif) 06 Jul '18

06 Jul '18

Hi all, i encountered such a project called Namecoin: http://dot-bit.org/Main_Page Namecoin <http://dot-bit.org/Namecoin> is a peer-to-peer *generic* name/value datastore system based on Bitcoin <http://www.bitcoin.org/> technology (a decentralized cryptocurrency). It allows you to: * Securely register and transfer arbitrary names, *no possible censorship!* * Attach values to the names (up to 1023 bytes) * Trade and transact namecoins, the digital currency *NMC*. There's also a proposal to use NameCoin for naming system for Tor http://dot-bit.org/Namespace:Tor . I am wondering if this system has been already seriously considered as a resilient human readable crypto naming system for other crypto and anti censorship projects, as it seems quite promising but i didn't get deeper technically. Any opinion?

My request comes from the fact that, as far as I know, you cannot use a QR code to pay POS at an establishment, say at like 7/11. People easily become more well antiquated with quick POS payment methods. I.E. (not in chronological order) Charlie cards in boston, the upcoming paypass enabled NYC subway turnstiles (they completed a trial a little while back), the mobil speedpass which has been around for years (https://www.speedpass.com/forms/frmSpHome.aspx) and then most recently NFC enabled payment terminals popping up everywhere in the US. Anyone can apply for an NFC (really RFID, but same tapping concept...) enabled credit/debit cards easily now: http://www.paypass.com/, http://usa.visa.com/personal/cards/card_technology/paywave.html, https://www295.americanexpress.com/cards/loyalty.do?page=expresspay, https://www.discover.com/credit-cards/help-center/account/zip/. I'm sorry, but you cannot tell me NFC is uncommon functionality. Three to four of Sprint's cellphone are now NFC enabled; I'm sure other carriers are simultaneously following suit. Familiarity with tapping to pay will reach the masses through mobile phones, if it hasn't already through the card companies ...
