HTTPS + CA is the most secure option.\n📝 Original message:OK, my thoughts. My order of preference is: web service, server service, DNS TXT records.\n\nFirstBits + Vanitygen is out of the question in my mind. Not robust enough.\n\nI like web service since anyone can trivially set one up. You can provide a PHP script and a text file (that users edit) that people upload to XFreeWebHost and then they're instantly set to go. Setting up a web host is very easy nowadays- as easy as click click click.\n\nThe other ideas are not so easy.\n\nAlso HTTPS + CA is the most secure of the bunch.\n\nI'm curious to hear any other ideas too.\n\nThanks.\n\n\n\n----- Original Message -----\nFrom: Amir Taaki \u003czgenjix at yahoo.com\u003e\nTo: \"bitcoin-development at lists.sourceforge.net\" \u003cbitcoin-development at lists.sourceforge.net\u003e\nCc: \nSent: Monday, December 12, 2011 10:21 PM\nSubject: [BIP 15] Aliases\n\nI wrote this pre-draft:\n\n\nhttps://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/BIP_0015\n\nIt's merely a starter for discussions.\n\nAliases are a way to lookup bitcoin addresses so I can type genjix at genjix.net instead of 1jkddsjdskjwnk2j3kj232kjdkj"}
