Dear XNDers,
We are happy to announce DigitalName and its DigitalNote GUI support. DigitalName is a cryptocurrency digital name alias system, made for DigitalNote XDN, by XDN-devs, but you can use it with any cryptocurrency.
http://digitalname.orgJust a first steps of JSON/DNS cryptocurrency alias API, but you can already use it with DigitalNote GUI wallet.
We have implemented JSON API part of DigitalName and also we made a public XDN addressbook service, based on it: XDN.IO
Instead of using a long and complex cryptocurrency address, now you can add your own DigitalName based on common web URL.
Here is a DigitalName demo JSON API:
xdn.io/digitalname/demo
xdn.io/name/demo
{
"digitalname1" : [
{
"name" : "demo",
"alias":"xdn.io/name/demo",
"xdn" : "dddneZ6zEVGG83zNytTRC35c6GpnTMcodWhXRroHScS8chjFBR3y9zdRRGPb79Aq1dJqQ3voZ.....",
"btc" : "1BitcoinAddressrCNLbtMDqcw6o5GNn4xqX",
"description" : "Demo xdn.io digitalname example",
"pgp-key" : "-----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----"
},
]
}
Use a ready-made service or just upload a simple .txt file to your web server or hosting to get your own digitalname.
If you have some domain name, lets say,
www.mynamedomain.com, you can just add a simple .txt file with JSON as your index page:
{
"digitalname1" : [
{
"name" : "mynamedomain",
"alias":"mynamedomain.com",
"xdn" : "dddneZ6zEVGG83zNytTRC35c6GpnTMcodWhXRroHScS8chjFBR3y9zdRRGPb79Aq1dJqQ3voZ.....",
"btc" : "1BitcoinAddressrCNLbtMDqcw6o5GNn4xqX",
"description" : "Demo mynamedomain.com digitalname example",
"pgp-key" : "-----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----"
},
]
}
So instead of long "dddneZ6zEVGG83zNytTRC35c6GpnTMcodWhXRroHScS8chjFBR3y9zdRRGPb79Aq1dJqQ3voZ....." XDN address you can receive XDN payments to "mynamedomain.com". In other words mynamedomain.com is your DigitalName and your DigitalNote address now.
As for now we have a JSON API support, but soon we will implement DNS API, so users can use any kind of security, like DNSSEC.
