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.

Extension summary

Analyze keywords

Easy resolving of .bit, .emc, .coin, .lib and .bazar domains. A decentralized domain system based on Namecoin and EmerCoin cryptocurrencies. These new TLDs cannot be censored or seized.

Keep in mind that the browser will trigger the search operation if you type "domain.bit" in the address bar. The reason is that these domains are not recognized as standard TLDs. There are two ways to fix that:

Type the domain with a trailing slash, example: "domain.bit/".
Type the domain with the protocol, example: "http://domain.bit".

Dot BIT domains are served by Namecoin. Dot EMC, dot COIN, dot LIB and dot BAZAR domains are served by EmerCoin. All systems use Bitcoin's Blockchain technology.

Known bugs:

The server's directive REQUEST_URI contains the full requested URL instead of the relative path. This is because the app is using the browser's internal proxy. HTTP protocol requires the full URL when the request is made via proxy. Your CMS must be aware of that.
All Nameservers and IPs are cached for six hours. If you change your domain's settings, please wait the cache to expire.
HTTPS is not working. We are searching for the solution.
