Description
ncdns is a Namecoin-to-DNS bridge that enables DNS-speaking software to access .bit domain names. Its Windows installer can install or configure compatible Namecoin lookup clients and Dnssec-Trigger, set up .bit TLS certificate validation, and configure Namecoin resolution in Tor Browser; binaries for other operating systems require manual integration with a Namecoin lookup client and DNS resolver.Category: Uncategorized
