completely missed the sendtoalias command.
Yes, it's working (it as a beta version, may still change, so it is only present in my github tree :
https://github.com/khalahan/namecoin)
would be interesting to also add a sendbtctoalias command that would open a bitcoin uri: bitcoin:1bitcoinaddress
Indeed, it could be a simple way to start managing bitcoin aliases.
Does the main client bitcoin client support uri schemes ?
good to see you alive. I thought you had been kidnapped by the cia.

I don't usually use bitcoin-qt any more but I think it has. Just noticed URI support does not work any more on my own machine with latest electrum and multibit 0.5.7 installed so this is a problem.
Also looking into shared namecoin/bitcoin private keys. I was not aware it is possible to calculate the corresponding namecoin address from a bitcoin address and vice versa.
