Title: NameCoin ReRoute (Java DNS server)
Post by: Orwell875 on February 26, 2012, 09:19:08 PM
I've been working on a small proof of concept code, that is basically a local namecoin DNS server. What it dose is relay all your DNS queries to your regular DNS server and for the .bit queries it makes a "fake" answer. It gets this "fake" answer from namecoind trough json interface.
This gives you a no setup, easy to use way of browsing .bit domains, witch works on all your applications and browsers.

As i sad it's a proof of concept and very buggy but it works (more or less)

Is there any interest in this little project?? I don't have much time for it which makes development go slow so a little help would be nice.

I tried to post on the dot-bit forum, but it does not seem to be a lot of activity.

Kool an easier way to view '.bit' domains is a very good idea  ;)

You should ask to be white-listed so you can post on the main boards.  You have a very good reason to be white-listed.

Only a couple more posts now and I am anyway :)

It's on github now for anyone interested:
https://github.com/Orwell875/NameCoin-ReRoute

And remember this is written as proof of concept, so probably not very easy to read the code.
