Namecoin is a peer-to-peer generic name/value datastore system based on Bitcoin technology.
Allows you to:
* Securely register and transfer arbitrary names (keys), no possible censorship!
* Attach values (data) to the names (up to 520 bytes).
* Trade and transact namecoins, the digital currency NMC.
Use case examples:
[Name] => [Value]
DNS: domain_name => domain_zone_configuration
Identity: user_name => user_public_identity (email, name, gpg key, etc)
Timestamping: document_hash...
