[Bitcoin-development] btc name server
wonder if it would be good idea to have a alias to wallet id nameserver in the client software where a person can use a english name to describe a wallet public key address? and the software can use it to look up the wallet id. wallet ids are hard to remember/recall. -chris http://tawhakisoft.com/ -- Get your SQL database under version control now!

Re: [Bitcoin-development] btc name server
Chris, First, an important point: addresses are not wallet ids. They are single-use destinations for a single transaction. It isn't intended that anyone should remember them, just that they should send them electronically (or with eg, QR- Codes). Bitcoin does not (yet?) have a person/wallet identity system, but there are other mechanisms for this already (eg, PGP). With regard to your idea, I believe it is satisfied by the new Payment Protocol that Gavin has been working on. You will be able to publish a URI for a website which people can reuse to pay you more than once.

Re: [Bitcoin-development] btc name server
I'd raised this topic before suggesting to leverage DNS as its kinda useful for mapping names to numbers. Expect no support. -rick On Fri, Aug 2, 2013 at 1:40 PM, Chris Evans aaxiomfin...@gmail.com wrote: wonder if it would be good idea to have a alias to wallet id nameserver in the client software where a person can use a english name to describe a wallet public key address? and the software can use it to look up the wallet id. wallet ids are hard to remember/recall. -chris http://tawhakisoft.com/ -- Get your SQL database under version control now!
