alias is safer than translate #11

Regarding the warning added in https://github.com/hlandau/ncdocs/commit/a999cc28ea5504952c7a39224a3729db5009687a , I think it is good, but we should also mention that translate is much worse than alias, because with alias, you can at least only delegate an IP address but keep the TLS record (which is more important) in Namecoin. translate prevents any blockchain-based security on the domain.

I'm fine with a warning.

I don't think anyone would object to your change so I'm going to close this since we are trying to clean up this repo.

JeremyRand commented 9 years ago

I would like this migrated to the new repo. I will do this myself soon; until then I'm reopening as a reminder to myself to deal with it.

Warning added. This issue has been resolved.
