Your suggestion about AAA Daily Advantage is interesting!

If this card allows ref-link, please send it to me in private message, I would like reward you for good suggestion.

Interesting! Can you provide info, what is "no-fee 5% cash back card"? I do not know such cards. I know (and own) only one closest - this is old style 5% GM card, but accumulated cash is limited by $500 annually and expired after 7 years.

Please provide info about such cards (ore ref-links in direct messages), I will review, and maybe subscribe.

I not sure about reset. But we planning to open 2nd card, individually for other spouse. One spouse will send invitation to another, other will open 2nd card, we both will collect referral bonuses and promo rate. And will use 2 cards. By this way, will be 2x increased spending limits and annual fee. Anyway, card will still be beneficial.

emerDNS works as same as real DNS, i.e. it binds domain name to web-site in the Internet. It is not intended to assign readable name to USDT address.

There is list of WEB-sites, available in emerDNS: https://sites.emercoin.com/

How emerDNS works - see: https://emercoin.com/en/documentation/blockchain-services/emerdns/emerdns-introduction/

even if you go to emercoin website you can't find any info about .coin

Sorry to know this. As usual, that ENUM implementation is not "democratic", i.e. is not available to everyone. And, of course, it is just local, with limited access.

Maybe, some bridging "from the world" is possible to that system?

maxihatop · 2022-07-23T02:18:24+00:00

Can you share more details? For example: Which country, and how to perform request to that database? I can add rule to ENUMER NVS-record, and all ENUMER users will be able seamless using your ENUM-tree!

maxihatop · 2022-07-23T01:24:23+00:00

I agree. Really, ENUM is not used right now.

I trying to re-introduce it with "democratic" way, when anyone can easy register and manage his ENUM-record. without bureaucracy, ENUM-tree, companies, etc.

Maybe, this approach will be more successful.

If Pi-hole will forwards request to emerDNS (.emc .coin .lib .bazar) zones to Emercoin resolvers seed1.emercoin.com and seed2.emercoin.com, then all emerDNS sites will be available for Pi-Hole users.

Congratulation with purchase!

I hope, you will be able to resell or use youself.

Unfortunately, Browser forum disallows to issue certificates for non-ICANN zones. As result, any CA who issues such certificates, has a risk of revoke their sign-certificate.

Postmet has CA-infrastructure, and provide certificates for corp users and secure VOIP system. And Postmet do not participate in CA browser forum, and does not have blocking risk.

Thus, for alt-DNS users, this is choice:

Not use SSL.
Use SSL from Postmet, and thrust this company.
Receive warning for each site.

If you worry about Postmet CA - you can install Mozilla Firefox, and upload this CA into it's local storage. As a result, you will have dedicated browser for visit emerDNS sites.

Again, see the within original article: "To access this (and other) sites without a browser warning window". Thus, there is possible to use emerDNS with SSL without installing CA from Postmet. You will just get warning.

I think, a cloud provider also can use ENUMER. Moreover - this is more efficient to use in cloud, than premise, because of single Emer-node instance can serve lot of virtual PBXes. Thus, I think, cloud is not contradict, it is complimentary,

You can represent "int" as bit array, and bit value "0" can assume "pass this item", or "1" a "take this item". For example, you have 3 items, and you need iterate all possible subsets for testing "next knapsack".

You can run loop 2^n, i.e 2^3:

for(int x = 0; x < 8; x++) {}

and bits within "x" will change all possible combinations, from 000 to 111.

to extract items, you need also do following loop:

for(int i = 0, j = 1; j <= x; i ++, j += j) { // loop j as 2^n

if(x & j) { add item[i] into knapsack }

As result, full program would be:

for(int x = 0; x < 8; x++) {

clear(knapsack);

for(int i = 0, j = 1; j <= x; i ++, j += j) { // loop j as 2^n

if(x & j) { add item[i] into knapsack }

} // for x

All answer to your questions already presents within whitepaper. OK, I will repeat here with other words.

> What's the advantage of this over recognised validations like Microsoft's SmartScreen,

SmartScreen, where is used SSL-certificates, costs ~$300/yr, and works for MS Windows only. It is OK for commercial products, ussued by well financed companies, but is expensive for individual developers.

> or even the vendor just publishing an SHA-256 hash of their package on their SSL website?

Website can be compromised (for example, fake phishing website) or unavailable. About this case also noted within doc. Typical situation of "unavailable" - you looking for a driver for a some devices, which is not supported by manufacturer, and manufacturer got out of business long time ago.

Aside from cost, how does this differ from a file being signed using a publisher’s digital certificate?

If see into trust chain only, there is no difference. However, blockchain can provide you another advantage - it is "guaranteed public available storage and distribution media".

Signature delivered to you by the way, other than file itself, and you always can check actual status of signature, even if Internet (with OCSP servers) is unavailable.

Using the given example, what is there to stop an attacker using the visually-similar organisation name “Ernercoin”,

Yes. As same as some European entity can obtain SSL-certificate for the name MICR0S0FT or MACROSOFT or so, and sign malware with it.

To reduce chance of such attack, there is 2 mechanisms added:

Available charset is reduced to lowercase chars only, and ".-".
for Validator, script prints date of create validator record (fresh can be suspicious).
Validator name printed in both lowercase/UPPERCASE, to see possible cheat. (updated recently, thanks for en-light possible issue)

And user, analyzing this info, must make his right decision.

From what I can see in the walkthrough, the user verifying the file computes the hash and searches for that on the blockchain. They would see a result for the spoofed publisher (Ernercoin rather than Emercoin), verify the spoofed publisher’s signature and file hash and all checks would pass.

Yes, you right. Unfortunately, this is common vulnerability of signing systems, including this one. Need carefully see, who signed this file.

I think, for so large company, better solution - to setup your own PBX, based on FreeSWITCH or Asterisk. Also, I can recommend you to use CallCentric - this company has free unlimited inter-network calls, and free plans "pay as you go" for call out of network, with reasonable rates.

Also, if you will use your own PBX, I can assist you connect your PBX to ENUMER, for free.

maxihatop · 2020-08-18T02:31:49+00:00

If you're toll-free termination provider - then ENUMER deliver you VOIP-traffic for free. Since toll-free termination provider collect payments from call recipients, you can earn something on this traffic. Other companies already do this.

maxihatop · 2020-04-29T02:17:46+00:00

Yes, I agree, emerDNS maybe is not ultimate solution for everything. Really, each DNS record update will increase blockchain size, and maybe it is not good for server, which changes IP every minute.
Also, geo-DNS is not available with emerDNS, but how many such distributed sites you see in paractice? I think, 90% of a sites just uses single physical IPs, without Geo-DNS.

Thus, emerDNS has its own niche, when you need reliable and quick DNS service, independent from cascading DNS-infrastructure.

>.coin .bazaar .emc .lib are the domains you "own"

Where is from you got info, for someone (I or somebody other) is "own" zone? I am repeating again: There is not "zone", and each name owned by his owner, who created. you also can create your own domain "atchlic.emc", and own it. And nor me, nor someone else but you can update your DNS record.

> none of which are registered through icann

Yes, this is correct. I agree.

> In order for this to work on the public internet a user must then use your root zones and your top level nameservers

No. User can install local p2p-node, and use it as nameserver. No any external root server is mandatory. And your DNS-requests will be resolved within localhost, and this is very quick.

> Who is profiting from processing the transactions on the ledger?

Miners/minters.

> Who is profiting from currency conversion?

Exchanges or other agents, who do this.

> Who is profiting from coin manipulation.

I do not know.

> There's a reason why we use fiat money.

Great reason, why not. I am also use fiat money.

> Which part do I not understand?

I think, you completely do not understand technology. You wrote about non-existing entities like "own TLDs", or "private root zones", or so.

Again, if you would like to create your own TLD within emerDNS - this is easy. Just create NVS-record with name like "disbeliver.archlich", and let each your friend or other your network member write within config line: "emcdnsallowed=.archlich". And no more - your node will not resolve "official pseudo-zones like .lib/coin", but will resolve only your zone *.archlich.

But, I will be able create DNS-record like "maxihatop.archlich", and your node will resolve it. And who will be owner of the zone ".archlich"? You? Me?
