dotNAV - Githubissues

aguycalled commented 2 years ago

This Pull Request introduces the consensus changed needed for a naming system dubbed dotNAV secured by Navcoin's blockchain and signalled for activation with version bit 34 (using block header's nonce).

Names are only allowed with the suffix .nav and to have a maximum length of 64 characters. Only allowed characters are alphanumeric and -, and the first character can't be a -.

Valid names: satoshi.nav satoshi-nakamoto.nav satoshi21.nav 21satoshi.nav Invalid names: -satoshi.nav satoshi_nakamoto.nav

RPC Command: registername name

Examples:

registername alex.nav

Registration has a cost set by a consensus parameter (initially 10 NAV) and lasts 400 days worth of blocks (modifiable through consensus parameters). Names can be renewed by everyone (not only the owner) with the rpc command renewname name. The name's expiry date will be set to 400 days worth of blocks after the moment of the renewal, and it will have the same cost as a registration.

After registration, it requires a minimum of 6 blocks to allow the set of values.

Each name can have different keys, each pointing to an arbitrary value. Those can be exclusively set by the owner of the name and each name has a maximum allowance of 1024 bytes of data.

Domains allow additionally one subdomain, which must stay in the same character set constrains as a name.

RPC Command: updatename name key value

Examples:

updatename alex.nav ip 127.0.0.1 updatename alex.nav email alex@nav.community updatename personal.alex.nav email alex.home@nav.community

Names can be resolved through the RPC command resolvename name
