Hey guys, I'm actually working on just this project over at http://paythru.to

I'm implementing payment notifications now and would really like to push for the further development of BIP 0015 in Namecoin, so that a real standard can be implemented in clients.

FWIW there's a Bitcoin address field on bitcointalk profiles
And people often put their address in their sig

But yeah if you have other projects you may want to prefer them

I can't see any case where this would be useful but why not if you can

Cheers guys.  I keep asking people "whats your btc address".  I thought others might get that problem.

Anonymity... thought about that.  You would only list the address you want to socialize.

Anyway, doesn't look like there is a need, so Ill work on other projects Cheesy

Would it be worth making a public address book to look up peoples btc address via email or mobile?

It would be a simple www.url.com/[email protected] which would return 13y7CJJuap6kuBGycu9rheRtFEJXZ9f25b

The addresses only go live once the users confirms via email or txt.  Phone address books etc could then interface with it.

Or is there no need for such a service?
