Re: Hardfork 2016 Value Size Limit

How many people know what GPG/PGP is?, to begin with...

Most likely only root authorities like institutions and developers (ex: Satoshi) will need to have (and maintain) a key onchain. Maybe journalists like Assange?.

Re: Hardfork 2016 Value Size Limit

Not having to depend on "import" for space so much would also simplify the implementation of Namecoin services. If more data is allowed on a name doesn't mean that people will use it to spam. Just look the namesquatters, they just post a bitmessage address. Services like Onename were not scalable, ...

Re: Hardfork 2016 Value Size Limit

I'm all in for an increase to 2kb. people are paying money to store a tiny amount of info on his/her domain, the least we can do is allow to store the whole set of data in one step, linking many names to store a tiny bit of data is redundant and causes overhead and maintenance problems.
