Only those need to use Enigmail that want to use Namecoin themselves to verify keys. The recipients don't need Enigmail (but need to store their fingerprint in Namecoin by some means, e. g., the Namecoin client), and there can also be other implementations of the underlying "protocol". Engimail would just be the first one, since I think it is quite common (and what I use myself). > I think the best place for this is GnuPG. Just like key server > functionality is implemented in GnuPG. Ok, I acknowledge that. Of course it would be even better (from my point of view) to have this in GnuPG itself, but I thought that Enigmail would be a more realistic place. It seems that's not the case, so I'll start a discussion with the GnuPG people in time. Thanks for all the feedback so far!
