I'm trying to register my DNS name 'my-host.611.to':
611d name_new d/my-host
[
"LONG_HEX_CODE",
"SHORT_HEX_CODE"
]
Then I need to make the first update:
611d name_firstupdate d/my-host SHORT_HEX_CODE '<json-value>'
And I don't understand what <json-value> is and what should be there. Is it a necessary parameter? What should be specified there?
The json-value contains the domain information you like to publish in the DNS for your (new) name my-host.611.to.
You can lookup some examples using the
Namecoin Wiki:
https://wiki.namecoin.org/index.php?title=Register_and_Configure_.bit_DomainsIt's working on the same scheme for 611 coin.
For example if you like to point your my-host.611.to to your IPv4 address 4.4.1.1 you can use a json-value like:
'{"ip":"4.4.1.1"}'
If you also like to redirect all sub-host entries to that IPv4 address, like
www.my-host.611.to you can use this string:
'{"ip":"4.4.1.1", "map": {"*": {"ip":"4.4.1.1"}}}'
Dual Stack IPv4 and IPv6 is also available, for example:
{"ip":"4.4.1.1","ip6":"2001:4411::4411"}
Let me know if you need some help on special settings.
Hint: The information in the 611 (.to) DNS automatically after your request has been mined into a valid new block, which usually happens about 5-15 minutes after updating the value(s).
If you like to manage your 611 domain names more easily, I recommend to use the Qt-client of 611. It allows to "Manage Names" using a graphical user interface and takes care about the needed commands in the background automatically.
