Here are a = few questions to start with - 

I was wondering in terms of mass adoption, = instead of long wallet addresses, maybe there should be a DNS-like = decentralized mapping service to provide a user@crypto = address?

This address translation can happen with confirmations from = the network. So instead of providing a long string, or a QR code that = needs an app, you simply type in a human readable address, and the = wallet software converts it to a wallet address.

Please let me know where I can research = this more - if there already is literature about this = somewhere.

thanks!
