Trust Domains

Namecoin is an experimental open-source technology that improves the decentralization, security, censorship resistance, privacy, and speed of certain components of the Internet infrastructure such as DNS and identities. (For the technically minded, Namecoin is a key/value pair registration and transfer system based on Bitcoin technology.) Namecoin was the first fork of Bitcoin and still is one of the most innovative “altcoins”. It was first to implement merged mining and a decentralized DNS. Namecoin was also the first solution to Zooko’s Triangle, the long-standing problem of producing a naming system that is simultaneously secure, decentralized, and human-meaningful. Protect free-speech rights online by making the web more resistant to censorship. Attach identity information such as GPG and OTR keys and email, Bitcoin, and Bitmessage addresses to an identity of your choice. Decentralized TLS (HTTPS) certificate validation, backed by blockchain consensus.

A Starname is a name you can use. It can be your universal username for the blockchain world. A Starname enables you to receive crypto-currencies, keep digital assets in an easily accessible manner with your Starname profile, and transfer value in a fast, easy, and cost-effective way with blockchain technology. The Starname basic edition is free with a Gmail login. Alternatively, you can register a basic domain for 1,4 IOV. The fees support the work done by validators and Starname promoters helping to keep the service decentralized. An open domain is a name that you are the owner and it can't be suppressed or modified. thewizard*iov is an example of an open domain, we can say it derives from iov, but it can't be modified or managed by anyone else except the owner of thewizard*iov. Starnames sales and renewals are the main blockchain revenue, which is distributed to delegators and validators. The product fees are what allow the Starname (IOV) blockchain to revert to 0% inflation.
