I don't know the HTTPS possible attack, but maybe it needs a warning message too, from what you people are saying. Although using namecoin to identify hosts may be the more secure option, it's integration with the client seems more difficult and probably most clients won't support it. Using namecoin to directly specify the payment address seems a bad idea for most cases for the reasons that have been said. For the "answer format" JSON seems ok, but I mean a "negotiating protocol" like luke-jr says. I'd even include green addresses there but probably many of you don't like the idea. 2011/12/19, slush : > And if I need to choose between easy solution or secure solution for > aliases, I'll pick that easy one.

I agree.
