I support this idea, but not sure if it makes sense to do this with a name. (Since everyone can register a name to put stuff into the blockchain, so this wouldn't really emphasise anything.) Maybe a coinbase transaction of some block (like lots of people did with Bitcoin)? We would need a mining pool to do that, though.virtual_master wrote:Could we put a remembrance message for him in the Namecoin blockchain in special namespace ?
It should remain in the blockchain forever.
(For Aaron Schwarz may be we could also create a namespace entry which should be renewed each year.)
