Re: [bitcoin-dev] A DNS-like decentralized mapping for wallet addresses?
Also check the Open Alias project. It's based on DNS+DNSSEC but it offers the usability feature you mention (nice addresses). https://openalias.org/ On 01/12/2017 00:20, mandar mulherkar via bitcoin-dev wrote: > Hello, > > I am new, so apologies if this has been asked before. > > Here are a few questions to start with - > > I was wondering in terms of mass adoption, instead of long wallet > addresses, maybe there should be a DNS-like decentralized mapping > service to provide a user@crypto address? > > This address translation can happen with confirmations from the > network.

Saying "it did not catch" is not accurate I'd say. It still works great, and namecoin has actually made great progress this year 2017. I'd say that namecoin has great potential but just not widely adopted yet. Would be real nice to have namecion support in major bitcoin wallets for name to data mapping. ___ bitcoin-dev mailing list bitcoin-dev@lists.linuxfoundation.org https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/bitcoin-dev

Check out namecoin, there is also blockstack as someone mentioned, but I personally feel namecoin is technologically better. If do not want a static bitcoin address mapped to a username, could use a stealth address (we need more support for stealth addresses in bitcoin wallets). ___ bitcoin-dev mailing list bitcoin-dev@lists.linuxfoundation.org https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/bitcoin-dev
