Could there be a way for someone to 'reserve' a name for a little while? So I can go into the bitcoin wallet on my computer and make it so anyone who sends to "Durdleman" for example will actually send to my address?
Edit: Actually, if there's a domain name service, is it possible for the bitcoin.org people to have a bitcoin name service as well?
not in the blockchain itself obviously but you could make some kind of program that does that.
If you would really want that though is another story, as it will be quite easy to trick people into sending it to the wrong address. Or something as simple as a typo could really screw you up.
What if I registered dudrleman, Durdlemen, Durdlemam, Durdelman, Durdeleman, Durdlleman, etc. (you get the point). and someone wants to send you money and they mistype and I get your money instead.
It would be quite profitable to create accounts for all common typos of big companies.
But sure, you can make something like a DNS, if we want it is an entirely different story.
On the other hand, you could link one of your addresses to some kind of app (like whatsapp, but obviously not whatsapp itself) and send small amounts through there. But for large amounts I personally would not risk it.
I believe they are making an app called sendcoin or something like it which is meant to be a whatsapp like thing with bitcoin integrated in it.
