DNS proposal allows for centralized or decentralized options. ๐Ÿ“ Original message:@Matt I didn't thought about firstbits scalability, but the "registering crap" and squatting arguments don't apply to green addresses because no one wants fancy or easy to memorize names there. Is just a way to make the bitcoin addresses shorter in the green addresses protocol to be able to have various of them in the same QR-code. @Amir I see, the point is to be able to type the alias directly into the client. I like the DNS proposal. This would allow for both well known working centralized technology and namecoin (not proven, but decentralized) options to be used. 2011/12/13, theymos <theymos at mm.st>: > I like the user at server.com model.
