How to edit your Bitcoin wallet profile on onename.io?

[Kazimir]

I recently read about a decentralized system (using namecoin blockchain) to store a Bitcoin "identity" = wallet address with custom names: http://bitcoinowl.com/onename-makes-bitcoin-addresses-friendly

Seems pretty cool. Just one thing: does anyone know how or where I can edit my profile?

The article mentions "they currently have no way to edit profiles, but they are promising to release an update within 2-3 days" and that was more than two weeks ago.

hmm thats a good idea....

i think many other sites should use a public key as their username.. show a person a random message that they need to sign, using that key. where the signed message is their password and proof of identity..

surprised that the main players have not even thought about that before..

Edited a little bit, since passwords tend not to vary but signatures do:)

Public keys or wallet addresses as user names is indeed a good idea, this puts all the user names into one universal name space. The implication of this is that user names can actually belong to the users rather than the sites that provide services.
