Title: Possible Namecoin Applications
Post by: Sou on May 14, 2013, 08:49:46 PM
What are some of the things you think Namecoin could be used for? Personally i like the idea of just having a name (ie: yourusername.bit) to send Bitcoins or any other kind of currency to instead of a long string of numbers.

It's easily doable via a new namespace, if someone proposed and the team accept.

I looked into the same exact thing. It is possible with the 'aliases' namespace still under development (http://dot-bit.org/Namespace:Aliases). Offering something like this would be a huge boon to both namecoin and cryptocoins as a whole. Payment addresses are so confusing to most folks.
