Namecoin Forum

Namecoin's primary advantages over other DNS systems are decentralization, censorship resistance, and hijacking/MITM resistance. All of these break if you have a centralized resolver. I never meant using centralized resolvers. My idea was to provide 1,000,000 public namecoin resolvers on an anycast...

Entropy is defined as data it'd be hard for an attacker to guess, the number of combinations you'd need to try to do a brute force search. Getting a private key from a hashed signature is no simple speedbump, it'd be totally breaking crypto & you'd need to do that first to be able to brute force a s...

I think a reasonable solution would be to implement an "expires" field at the nmcontrol level, which is equal to a number of blocks N. If N or fewer blocks remain before namecoind expires the name, then nmcontrol will refuse to resolve the name (and issue an error message saying that the name is al...

Maybe just expand the user preferences in freespeechme & nmcontrol so it's easier to set a priority for resolution methods for each site.

I'd like to see a nameid module for Drupal, I may write one.

You can find all the keys you need on this website: http://directory.io/

Increased fees for name_new
Renewal fees and/or increased fees for name_update

gmaxwell's suggestion for storing key=value data isn't well thought out, it'd make namecoin suck more by adding unnecessary overhead & weak (false) security. Simple improvement for storing a private data verification in the blockchain should be hash(data+sig), the sig should add enough entropy to th...

Good luck guessing those keys.

I'm only familiar with sql relational databases & no expert. I know little about current namecoin internals. Relational databases can be very efficient if the table structure is designed properly to minimise or eliminate redundancy. Postgres is possibly worth considering, it recently got a new binar...
