What's the usefulness for the average user for the naming service? Anyone know?

If I register a name "joe" and linked it to my qora address I can ask you to send coins to "joe" instead of sending you 20+ characters address.

Or names could be linked to URLs. Browsers doesn't support such things at the moment but for example there already exist Nxt addons (oh how does it called) for Chrome and Firefox and if you install it you can type URL that looks like nxt:apple, nxt:porn which linked to websites. Probably someday all browsers will include such things.

There're much more things names could be linked to.


So if you had a Qora name URL what can that do? Are you saying if your website is Qora:joe   someone can send money to the website address?

You can associate a name with anything. If it's your qora address people can send coins to "joe", if it's btc address people can send bitcoins to "joe". It also can be an e-mail or phone number or some other things.
