I'm not familiar with Namecoin, but I thought I'd just point out that someone will be working on OnioNS, the onion name system, as part of the SoP in Tor. The person who will be working on it just sent an e-mail to this very list yesterday. You two seem to be after the same "human-readable way to access .onion domain names" target as you yourself described, so there might be room for collaboration. -- Daniel Martí - mvdan@xxxxxxxx - http://mvdan.cc/ PGP: A9DA 13CD F7A1 4ACD D3DE E530 F4CA FFDB 4348 041C
