But...why? Using URIs is much simpler and can be more useful in terms of being able to give different addresses and/or values per user. Also, despite DNSSec being "out there" DNS is still very insecure to transmit something that will result in money transfer...some idiot tries it on public WiFi and a MITM steals your coins...DNS is really just not well suited for this kind of thing. If you want nice name->address mapping, a simple HTTPS server with addresses and client support (there are some patches around for this) works much better in the end. --=-uHHDaplK4tE7q/OUZIbR Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) iQIcBAABAgAGBQJOLhn6AAoJEBrh01BD4I5UG+sP/RWfeJ0FXkLQLRXE1YpxoMph 8AiYgJ4lye9PAPpcRkFf4xPBlIT9AE3b9El/kL5exoKlmlRxZBKvkL96Gpx0u1qL bItKtEMgRiXgRtbuq9BPDbCLuCaiqE54q+mM4d2ae4AiodlQ2muiHBNSOp/GTDnp slwE+Vykh4dxUat+hrgPfpA80xXokuSRFU8p9TkQ4wySj2vIlWiOsXbfuy6zV8Co MnPpTweqo1C5KvKxsNnR+HJMUcTvsPvY3oFJeECRL73uvGel5uIUn7r1xAAR9JJL AK8CN6rTpVbEy2JRSo6ycux4DnhbVSjd2Q7Rh7W58bxnhd9/Cs+A4JAonCMcCBaJ uxqlq0somMgcFEeYtCEXzuplVd4CAEIrWNlw5kv25OdqCDQ+3NJ9uhCgxBXNSzNF ev6cOyzo3+eimfYpF/WVr1FlVIj3/WHv6DFrh3M0VR8v+34SSndNzcLV5yVDjRbu DGOkMX6WXDCwwcHnd+x1e03Prhtaabo4TxCo5k76fRWFIA8maJXmKKUs1AcInSJT Y7i129tCSioY+YGJhZh2gE3zcBJ8DBNhXnymj/Oaas0eXHxyPUvD1R4n/icUi0a/ v+gGbhfY+WidZfVWxTde1OeeGTcW4gc4i7Cj2gPG0eWohJ4FdfpkictuRWHfNbN+ HzcBsBB/MCAXrEGmyMmB =Wgq9 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-uHHDaplK4tE7q/OUZIbR--
