Add support for Unstoppable Domains #1002

Open Bird-NZ opened 4 years ago

Bird-NZ commented 4 years ago

Make peer to peer sending easy by adding support for human readable crypto addresses via Unstoppabledomains.com. This would enable wallet users to no longer need to pass around long public strings when we can use human readable names like Brad.zil and the wallet looks up brads public ada address (or any other crypto currency this wallet may support) for the ada you want to send him. Essentially DNS for crypto.

I'd like something like this or ENS so I'd welcome a spec about which one works best for our case and for Cardano and why. However, now is not the right time for this because Shelley will deprecate all existing Cardano addresses so it's not too useful to ask people to register a name for an address now only to break it when Shelley is released

Thanks Sebastian, address are very easy for people to update and intergration into other wallets is growing quickly. Eg expecting Trust wallet soon and already in Coinomi and others. Point being this will become a standard wallet capability soon and people are already attaching ada address to domains. How about i get the unstoppabledomains team to get in touch and pass you the spec for you to review.

We don't have time for this until at least December probably just due to resource constraints on our end so we will have to re-evaluate this later.

Another considerable DNS integration could be https://handshake.org/

Another suggestion: OpenAlias.org. It uses simple txt records in DNS (DNSSEC).
