I am posting this here because I am unable to register on the Namecoin forums because the OpenID login system, and user registration email activation is broken; and because the Wiki does not allow regular users to create new pages, and because no one in irc://freenode.com#namecoin has responded in a week to my requests for assistance.
I am proposing and would like to receive feedback on a new name type p/ for product identification.
The purpose of this is to store the names, publishing (or producing entities), and other meta data for products.
This is similar to the id/ specification, but specialized for product information; and could be very useful for authenticable software metadata such as version numbers and hashes and binary locations.
Here is a sample json format for an example product p/meowbit :
{
"name": "MeowBit, the all-browser Anti-Censorship, Anti-Hijacking Dot-Bit Free Software for Windows.",
"url": [
"http://meowbit.com",
"http://meowbit.bit"
],
"signer": "MxYgCsHV7Nx4zMLQjHwRY7XzenU8AVAbuw",
"producer": "id/beastlick",
"author": "id/derrick",
"version": "0.3.5179.694",
"dist": [
{
"os": "w",
"type": "i",
"file": "MeowBitSetup_0.3.exe",
"hash": {
"md5": "c0c996249d49a5808e245564996eb3c0"
}
},
{
"type": "s",
"file": "MeowBit_Src.zip",
"hash": {
"md5": "e4d909c290d0fb1ca068ffaddf22cbd0"
}
}
]
}
