🗒️ Summary of this message: Gavin Andresen agrees with Mike Hearn and Christian Decker that Bitcoin payments should be made through HTTPS queries and potentially through namecoin.
📝 Original message:I agree with Mike Hearn and Christian Decker-- paying to
'somebody at foo.com' should become, behind the scenes, a HTTPS query to
https://foo.com/something. If you just want to (say) donate to
eff.org, then paying to '@eff.org' aught to work nicely.
And if namecoin ever takes off you'll pay to 'somebody at foo.bit'.
It seems to me that if it was DNS-based, the address should be
something like 'somebody.bitcoin.foo.com'. But I think it is unlikely
people will setup and run a custom DNS server just to support bitcoin
payments.
