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?
Fabio
