Title: Address ownership Post by: wwh on June 18, 2011, 11:31:22 PM I was thinking about how Bitcoin's model of tracking ownership and mining could be applied to other electronic assets. One thing I came up with is unique addresses. A unique address could be a string such as "bob", "alsdkfjds", or "BigCompany". Once ownership of an address is established in the block chain the address could be used for a number of things where a unique human understandable name is desired .... replacement for DNS, IP, e-mail, or reputation tracking to name a few. Having a secure ownership database of addresses without a central authority sounds like a nice idea to me. I really don't like that I have to put in all my personal information when I buy a DNS name register for an IP address. Is anyone working on a project like this?
