[liberationtech] Namecoin: secure, anti-censorship naming system based on bitcoin
Hi all, i encountered such a project called Namecoin: http://dot-bit.org/Main_Page Namecoin http://dot-bit.org/Namecoin is a peer-to-peer *generic* name/value datastore system based on Bitcoin http://www.bitcoin.org/ technology (a decentralized cryptocurrency). It allows you to: * Securely register and transfer arbitrary names, *no possible censorship!* * Attach values to the names (up to 1023 bytes) * Trade and transact namecoins, the digital currency *NMC*. There's also a proposal to use NameCoin for naming system for Tor http://dot-bit.org/Namespace:Tor . I am wondering if this system has been already seriously considered as a resilient human readable crypto naming system for other crypto and anti censorship projects, as it seems quite promising but i didn't get deeper technically. Any opinion? Fabio -- Unsubscribe, change to digest, or change password at: https://mailman.stanford.edu/mailman/listinfo/liberationtech

Hello Fabio, Namecoin has been dead for over a year (no updates etc...). NMC merged mining is also slowly disappearing.
