Re: 3 ideas to make namecoin much more accessible

We need more DNS-suffix services. Currently we have none! This is described here: http://dot-bit.org/HowToBrowseBitDomains#Full_support_with_DNS_suffix_resolution The installation on Windows is as simple as downloading and launching tiny .reg file, then (probably) rebooting PC. .reg file should look...

Re: Namecoin to zone file

Is there a DNS server available that is only capable of zone transfers? This way we could configure the DNS we already use (I'll never use BIND, for instance, thanks to DJB's advertisement ) in an universal way.

Do anybody have a backup copies?

Due to lack of viable options, I'm still not .bit*enabled.

NameCoin as an I2P name service

I2P lacks advanced DNS support from the beginning. There are addressbooks. There is a private addressbook for every user and there are public addressbooks that are being consulted by other users.

DNS suffix: yet another way to enable .bit

I've added some info http://dot-bit.org/HowToBrowseBitDomains#Full_support_with_DNS_suffix_resolution Most DNS servers are useless as DNS suffix because queries constructed by OS resolver contain ".bit.", and these DNS proxies lack .bit namecoin.us looked appropriate, but both namecoin.us and bitnam...
