Optionally mapping names to OpenBazaar GUIDs using Namecoin & DNSChain.

User-friendly names that map to GUIDs have several benefits in the development of a web-of-trust for reputation based in commerce (as put forth by Dionysis: https://gist.github.com/dionyziz/e3b296861175e0ebea4b#pseudonymity). For example, to access specific stores, users send around their GUIDs (as can be seen here: http://www.reddit.com/r/BazaarMarkets/comments/2fjui8/selling_google_glass/). It's easier to remember reputable stores by their user-friendly names.

Here's a proposal to implement such a user-friendly system in OpenBazaar that is acceptably (debatable) decentralized using the Namecoin blockchain (http://namecoin.info/) & DNSChain (https://github.com/okTurtles/dnschain) model & server tools.

Namecoin + DNSChain + OpenBazaar GUIDs.

Namecoin

Namecoin is a decentralized key-value store using blockchain technology. It's been used to map decentralized domains (using .bit) & identities (using namespaces such id or u: https://github.com/opennamesystem/openspecs) amongst other uses. It is the m

The one-size-fits-all key to Grunt.js happiness

This page: http://bit.ly/grunt-happy

One of the complaints people sometimes have about Grunt.js is that the configuration files can grow unwieldy when you have more than a couple of tasks. And you have to explicitly load each of those tasks.

Except that you don't. Here is the one-size-fits-all key to Grunt.js happiness.

1. Set up your project folder

Checkout github pull requests locally

Locate the section for your github remote in the .git/config file. It looks like this:

[remote "origin"]
	fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
	url = git@github.com:joyent/node.git

Now add the line fetch = +refs/pull/*/head:refs/remotes/origin/pr/* to this section. Obviously, change the github url to match your project's URL. It ends up looking like this:
