JSON trouble with name_update

Post by will »

I bought a domain yesterday: will.bit
and I updated the map using "name_update" to forward the domain to my blog.
the JSON is: {"map":{"":"peakoilproof.com"}}

it shows up in the name scan (http://webpagedeveloper.me/name_scan.php) as:

[294] => Array
(
[name] => d/will
[value] => {"map":{"":"peakoilproof.com"}}
[expires_in] => 11927
)

but for some reason when I go to will.bit, it doesn't go anywhere. I have the DNS servers properly set up and can visit other .bit URLs.
Can anyone help me solve this?

Current DNS servers does not support the syntax you have used.

You must put in ip address instead of "peakoilproof.com" and configure your web server either to redirect will.bit to peakoilproof.com or to point to the same folder as peakoilproof.com.

Here are all possibilities for the json : http://dot-bit.org/HowToRegisterAndConf ... our_domain (except translation which is not compatible with DNS).

Since the website is a blog and the domain is hosted through google's blogger service, there isn't a single IP address that I can map to which will connect will.bit to peakoilproof.com

Is there any way to do this?

is there some kind of free online service that provides a static IP address that I could forward to a url?

Maybe i can do it for 1BTC if you are interested, or you may find one free, i don't know if it exists.




ps : if possible, prefer a real webhosting that will not redirect, to follow the essence of the project.
