I've been looking at this for months, but I still fail to understand the use case... #59

Is this meant for servers (someone who runs a hosting company?) or is this meant for end users who are granted priveleged access to a server or chain of servers? Or both?

I've discussed this project with a few others and nobody seems to really be able to make heads or tails of what this would be perfect for.

Something inside me likes the idea, I just don't know the use case.

This is meant as a mechanism to access the namecoin blockchain. Server usage is one option (for hosting companies) so that they can give namecoin access to their users. But also personal usage is acceptable, in case a group of friends wants to run a server for easy namecoin blockchain access. That way, you don't have to maintain a copy of the blockchain on your local system.

@oasisfleeting We just updated all of our documentation. Have a look, hopefully it's clearer now!
