Hello Tor-Dev,

One of the criticisms of Namecoin which seems to be raised sometimes is that the current domain namespace spec doesn't have a method for a .bit domain owner to prove that they are in control of a .onion. (This is also an issue for .bit domains that point to .i2p.) I'm interested in improving this situation, and am looking for feedback.

At Tor2web we've been considering using Namecoin for those features:

If someone want to hack on those feature, we'd love to support! :)
