[liberationtech] Namecoin: secure, anti-censorship naming system based on bitcoin
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?
