611 (SixEleven) is a crypto currency featuring an included free anonymous domain name system based on reliable Bitcoin blockchain technology.

Published objects are accessible globally using the 611.to gobal domain name system. Cheesy

Using SIL, which is the currency unit of 611 (SixEleven), you can do more with your 611 (SixEleven) wallet: Register name and id objects.

Simple & Ready-To-Use
Data associated with a name or id object can be published to any device connected to the Internet using standardized domain name resolve requests. That's as simple as browsing a website.
Stable & Secure
Once a name or id object is registered successfully, no-one can take it away from you without your consent. You can associate and publish data with it that everyone can be sure is originated from you but which can neither be forged nor censored by unauthorised attackers.
Ownership of a name and/or id is based on ownership of a coin, which is based on public key cryptography. The 611 (SixEleven) network reaches consensus about every five minutes as to which names have been reserved or updated.

What's new
611 (SixEleven) is directly integrated into the public Domain Name System (DNS) - the Internet's Phone Book. Information stored within the 611 blockchain will therefore be accessible worldwide as subpart of the .611.to domain within minutes offering new possiblities for users and developers like

Market
You can trade or invest into #611coin [SIL] using the following markets:


	Market SIL/BTC [#611coin / $BTC] [BTC] Bisq, an open-source peer-to-peer application that allows you to buy and sell cryptocurrencies with no registration required.

611 (SixEleven) works on the proven first come, first served principle.
Coin supply matches [static const int64 MAX_MONEY = 611000 * COIN;] which means that the number of SIL coins is restricted to about 611 thousand.
Fees and mining values are set appropriate to ensure a good balance of demand and supply.

Mine
611 (SixEleven) is a miner friendly crypto currency. The network fee is increased to 0.0611 SIL (611 coin) to make changes to the blockchain and DNS system more valueable and to prevent possible abuse scenarios. The network fee is rewarded to the miners for sharing the neccessary ressources for the public network.
611 (SixEleven) can be merge mined together with Bitcoin and other sha256 compatible altcoins (like i.e. Namecoin) to optimize your mining profit and revenue.
It's recommended to merge mine 611 (SixEleven) together with Bitcoin using P2Pool to optimize efficiency and profits.

Quick and easy start is to pool mine 611 [SIL] coin on poolmine.611.to or simply mine.611.to. Sign-up, login and register your workers. Point your stratum miners to stratum+tcp://poolmine.611.to:3333. No fees apply. [service offline; join discussion about setting up a new mining pool...]

Hint: Blockchain registration needed, to prevent abuse.

Technical overview
Forked from Namecoin the Bitcoin protocol is augmented with 611 operations, to reserve, register and update names. In addition to DNS like entries, arbitrary name/value pairs are allowed and multiple namespaces will be available. This will include a personal handle namespace mapping handles to public keys and personal address data.

The protocol differences from bitcoin include:

different blockchain, port, IRC bootstrap, dnsseed and message header
new transaction types: new, first-update, update
validation on the new transaction types
rpc calls for managing names
increased network fees to slow down the initial rush and to prevent abuse
doubled mining rate to make 611 operations more interactive

Expert Guide [short Wiki: 611d or Debug console]
-> register a 611.to domain name or object
You can register a .611.to domain for 0.1922 SIL (SixEleven coin) using the 611 (SixEleven) software 611d or 611-Qt. The fee consists of two parts:
a) the registration fee, and
b) the transaction fees for the name_new and the name_firstupdate transactions.

command	cost w. fees^*	summary	note
name_new	0.1922	pre-order a domain, fixed cost incl. free name_firstupdate	you still do not own the domain!
name_firstupdate	0	finalize the registration after being mined into some blocks. your name becomes public, now.
name_update	0.0611	domain is updated, transfered or renewed	reset the expire time to the max!

^* To prevent spam & abuse network fees may be higher depending on the size of your request.

-> pre-order a domain name
<611-name> is your .611.to domain name without .611.to, in lowercase. For internationalized domain names, the IDNA ASCII standard applies. Unicode entries are not supported.
To check if the name is available, use the command line

Code:

./611d name_show d/<611-name>

or 611-Qt -> help -> debug window -> console:

Code:

name_show d/<611-name>

If the name is available you can now pre-order the name with the following command:

Code:

name_new d/<611-name>

The output will look like this: "0e0e03510b0b0b7dbba6e301e519693f66162121b29f3cd3a6652c238360d0d0", "9f212ff4a582fd65"

This will reserve a name but it's still not visible yet (and you still don't own the domain!). Make a note of the short hex number! You will need it for the next step. Wait at least 12 blocks, which is usually about an hour and then finalize your registration by issueing the following command:

Code:

name_firstupdate d/<611-name> <short hex number> '<json-value>'

Notes: Your json-value must be enclosed in quotes and escaped properly. Please do not shut down 611d or 611-Qt during the waiting time. If you lose the random number, you have to issue name_new again. In case of an error message you may try the <long hex number> instead of the <short hex number>.

-> update and renew a domain name
Use the name_update command if you want to change the <json-value> of your domain.

Furthermore, name_update command is used for the renewal of a registration:

Code:

name_update d/<name> '<json-value>'

This step is neccessary to prevent your <611-name> from expiring before the block countdown is heading towards zero! Each name_update resets the expire time to the maximum value, which is the block number below block #108000 and fixed to 108000 blocks after that time:

Code:

// Names registered with 611 should be valid at least 365 days.
// Increase expiration to 108000 gradually starting at block 18000.
// Use for validation purposes and pass the chain height.
int GetExpirationDepth(int nHeight) {
    if (nHeight < 18000)
        return 18000;
    if (nHeight < 108000)
        return nHeight;
    return 108000;
}

Note: Use can use name_update to transfer a name to someone else.
