i'm new to bitcoin but recognize an issue with it that i'm trying to solve in other projects - the lack of a simple, meaningful URL identifier that is understandable by both humans and machines.

iceland's top level domain of '.is' provides a great tool for weaving a more understandable web because of its declarative semantic properties. additionally iceland wishes to become a safehaven for freedom of expression for projects like wikileaks --- read more at http://immi.is  ---- the country also went down the tubes when their currency crashed with the financial crisis --- it seems fitting to use it for the birth of a new global monetary system.

oohhh--- thats very cool. makes a lot of sense --- so the short url can be linked to an address--- and the address can change, but the name stays the same? because people use different addresses for different things right? again, im new to this.

(edit - error removed)

Thanks.  I'll take a look.
If you don't mind, please remove the debug info from the previous post... I'll turn that off and give a standard "500" error in the future.

Edit:  I think I fixed it.  It appears that you requested a short name that is already taken.  Try again.




And you are correct, I wanted to create a service where people could reserve short names, and change the wallet address at any time.
