Whether the system gives you a new address from a pool of addresses, or contacts the merchant behind the scenes is implementation defined.\n\nI'll clarify it later. This is the relevant line:\n\nstring strRequestUrl = strDomain + \"/bitcoin-alias/?handle=\" + pszEncodedNick;\n\nBetween HTTPS service and server service, I lean slightly towards HTTPS (automatic encrypted connection, CAs + all benefits of DNS). But still interested in arguments in favour of a server service (daemon answering queries).\n\n\n----- Original Message -----\nFrom: Gavin Andresen \u003cgavinandresen at gmail.com\u003e\nTo: Jorge Timón \u003ctimon.elviejo at gmail.com\u003e\nCc: \"bitcoin-development at lists.sourceforge.net\" \u003cbitcoin-development at lists.sourceforge.net\u003e\nSent: Tuesday, December 13, 2011 1:06 PM\nSubject: Re: [Bitcoin-development] Fwd: [BIP 15] Aliases\n\nI agree with Mike Hearn and Christian Decker-- paying to\n'somebody at foo.com' should become, behind the scenes, a HTTPS query to\nhttps://foo.com/something. If you just want to (say) donate to\neff.org, then paying to '@eff.org' aught to work nicely.\n\nAnd if namecoin ever takes off you'll pay to 'somebody at foo.bit'.\n\nIt seems to me that if it was DNS-based, the address should be\nsomething like 'somebody.bitcoin.foo.com'. But I think it is unlikely\npeople will setup and run a custom DNS server just to support bitcoin\npayments.\n\n-- \n--\nGavin Andresen\n\n------------------------------------------------------------------------------\nSystems Optimization Self Assessment\nImprove efficiency and utilization of IT resources.
