So does this mean that to keep a domain I have to keep running the namecoin service thereby using up CPU time that could be better spent serving requests from users?
- thwarted 15y agoYou could outsource that just like you can currently outsource DNS.
- Groxx 15y agoNot really. It's bitcoin-like, so "the network" of miners would collaboratively re-enforce your control of your domains. You'd only need to use up CPU (/GPU) time to create new name coins for free - you could also purchase them from people who had mined them previously, and hadn't used them.
- polarized 15y agoRunning the service does not use very much CPU time. Mining is separate, and you don't even need to do that just to keep the domain up.
