Re: Namecoin Local PGP Keyserver
Posted: Thu Dec 17, 2015 4:17 pm
prototype here: http://blockchained.com/stuff/namecoin_keyserver.zip
Current features:
* will do exact match lookups on id/
* will download keys from the specified location or from a keyserver
* will proxy normal lookups to a standard keyserver
* works with client and nmcontrol as backend
how to try:
run Namecoin Client (blockchain must be completely downloaded)
launch via: python ./server.py
Thunderbird --> enigmail --> key management --> keyserver --> search for keys
as server enter 127.0.0.1:8083 (default)
then search for e.g. id/domob id/phelix id/jeremy id/greg
you can also search for non id/ keys as usual
pondering about a name: namecoin key proxy - nmckeyproxy? namecoin pgp key server - nmcpks?
