HTTPS + CA is the most secure option.&#xA;📝 Original message:OK, my thoughts. My order of preference is: web service, server service, DNS TXT records.&#xA;&#xA;FirstBits + Vanitygen is out of the question in my mind. Not robust enough.&#xA;&#xA;I 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&#39;re instantly set to go. Setting up a web host is very easy nowadays- as easy as click click click.&#xA;&#xA;The other ideas are not so easy.&#xA;&#xA;Also HTTPS + CA is the most secure of the bunch.&#xA;&#xA;I&#39;m curious to hear any other ideas too.&#xA;&#xA;Thanks.&#xA;&#xA;&#xA;&#xA;----- Original Message -----&#xA;From: Amir Taaki &lt;zgenjix at yahoo.com&gt;&#xA;To: &#34;bitcoin-development at lists.sourceforge.net&#34; &lt;bitcoin-development at lists.sourceforge.net&gt;&#xA;Cc: &#xA;Sent: Monday, December 12, 2011 10:21 PM&#xA;Subject: [BIP 15] Aliases&#xA;&#xA;I wrote this pre-draft:&#xA;&#xA;&#xA;https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/BIP_0015&#xA;&#xA;It&#39;s merely a starter for discussions.&#xA;&#xA;Aliases are a way to lookup bitcoin addresses so I can type genjix at genjix.net instead of 1jkddsjdskjwnk2j3kj232kjdkj</html></oembed>
