PeerName

Enables the resolving of .bit domains by Namecoin blockchain. Also .emc, .coin, .lib and .bazar domains by EmerCoin blockchain.

PeerName: Blockchain-based Domain Resolver

PeerName is a Chrome extension that facilitates the easy resolution of non-standard .bit, .emc, .coin, .lib, and .bazar domains. It uses the blockchain technology of Namecoin and EmerCoin cryptocurrencies, ensuring these domains don't get censored or seized. Users should type the domain with either a trailing slash or with the protocol to avoid triggering a search. PeerName caches Nameservers and IPs for six hours, and currently, it does not support HTTPS.
