I get what bitcoins are, but could somebody explain namecoin to me as if I were a child..??  Please assume that I don't know anything technical, but that I understand things like what the internet is and what an URL is.  I very much want to know what this is but apparently I'm much dumber than I thought.

Does .bit domain just support tor hidden service?
Not yet. I'll web available in the next domain spec and implemented in software proxies (DNS won't be able to support that).

And how can i configure my domain .bit to redirect to "example.com" via JSON with name_update?
Redirect is not possible without a web hosting that does the redirect. I offer this service with a new domain here : http://register.dot-bit.org/, else 1BTC/year.
Another solution is to wait for the next spec and configure alias and translate, then, if you can add yourdomain.bit to your current web hosting, you can do what you want, if you can add the .bit domain... (not allowed by a lot of web hosting)
You can already do that but putting the ip address of your web server (or ns servers) and configure your web hosting (same remark).

Does the namecoin support only ip/ip6?
Current spec supports only ipv4 in records, but using the ns record will allow you to use ipv6 (see http://dot-bit.org/Domain_names).

How can do the redirect with JSON value?
Using ip or ns, and then configure your web hosting, if possible.


Ok got it..i have only a few other questions (for the future)..

Uhm..so when i will do name_update on my domain with a tor hidden service i have only to do { "map": { "" : "torhiddenservice.onion"}} to map everything to the hidden service OR i just do "{ "tor"     : "eqt5g4fuenphqinx.onion" } without adding anything else to resolve example.bit to the hidden service?

About the resolution of a .bit pointed to a tor hidden service..if i will point my .bit to an hidden service i will only be able to resolve it using the namecoin client due to DNS can't solve right?

Last: When i'm connected to Tror i can't resolve .bit domain (i think of course cause the exit node haven't opennic dns set up) but is there (or will) a way that let me browse .bit from Tor?

Thanks!

Hmmm .... I can't seem to get it working. Have namecoind running on a Linux machine at the moment, port 9332. Can't connect via RPC from another machine on the same network. I have 9332 TCP & UDP open in iptables.
