Namecoin Forum

yep - trifecta of currency, identity, storage of data specifically the data needed seems to be: - inventory - friends list - profile inventory is huge, the other two are small Yes, this is exactly, what i've had in mind. This system could profit amazing from Namecoin. I am not sure how to solve the...

Personally I think anonymity is one of the most important features that can be added. People can always choose to break that and make it obvious who controls a domain name.

It's important to realize that anonymity supports more than criminal activity - it protects free speech itself.

- immune from censorship and seizure - theft resistant - removes politics by eliminating ICANN/registry operators/registrars I think the most important part is the last section. The new ICANN president commisioned this working group to bring a recommendation forth, which they did over the objection ...

I like #2 because it gives more control to the user in the sense that if yoyoyo network catches on fire tomorrow, the cool kids can put this into their id/ and it will be perfectly valid (if I understood correctly)

"social":
{
"instagram": "domobian",
"yoyoyo": "misterma"
}

What I was trying to ask (yes, it was me) was about the scenario where A. price goes up to $10 USD per namecoin (or something higher than current) B. renewal cost is implemented The theory is that *most* people would feel a disincentive to stop hoarding large numbers of domains, as the carrying cost...

It's such an important theme for many mainstream users, protecting trademark holders' rights. The practicality of doing this is exactly as @virtual_master suggests though. ICANN's way does not work well at all, and without a central authority how can it possibly? WIPO decisions are arbitrary and hig...

I think of this as a chicken and egg problem. So many mainstream users need an onramp like a registrar to hold their hand. But there can be no registrars without multisig -- am I missing something? Not trying to start a flamewar with ".BIT registrars" but how can anyone who understands recommend in ...

I just registered id/johnkenney so I have that as well as id/JohnKenney now, both with different values, how do DNS servers translate .bit domains if there are conflicts like that on d/ ? Wow that's not good - id/ names are case-sensitive? Imagine if that were true for d/ :( legacy DNS system treat...

Disclaimer, a boatload of personal opinion follows... in no way represents blah blah blah .... This paper does not represent my view, this represents the general consensus on the BitsharesDNS boards, with only minor exceptions. And yes, I think there are all kinds of great applications that can be b...

I think spaces are crazy. It's not good to just shrug and say that it's the end user's problem. How does an application of some sort disambiguate if the string is embedded in text, e.g. email, document, forum post, etc please see id/myid T his id for my details that whole text could correctly be int...
