I added a FAQ to the code repository:
https://github.com/vinced/namecoin/blob/master/FAQ.mdIt answers some of the questions brought up in this thread and more.
@memvola @dmp1ce - a DNS bridge would be great. Yes, the value should be a zone file, and can have either addresses or a DNS delegation. I don't know if DNS delegation works well behind Tor, so maybe addresses are better.
@dmp1ce - thank you for the offer. I'd be ever grateful if you could register the name d/v . This would end up being v.bit after the DNS piece is available.
A couple of design questions to think about:
- right now the expiration is set to 12000 blocks, or about 3 months. Is that too short? Renewal will be automatic if your client is connected.
- should the TLD be .bit or something that ICANN is unlikely to ever register, like .b, .n or even .-b?
