Precisely how is this altcoin different from NameCoin?

1. This is energy efficient PoS/PoW system. Do not need burning lot of energy for block closing.
Namecoin is pure PoW, burn many energy for support blockchain.

2. Size of DATA value in Emercoin is 20kb versus 1Kb in NameCoin. This is enough to fit long DNS records, or 8Kbit+ RSA public keys or CA Certificates.

3. Emercoin NVS is generic purpose data storage, not mentioned exclusively for DNS purposes only.
NVS can support lot of services. For example, it already used to store ssh keys (for worldwide PKI, emcssh program),
and ready to work as TTS storage (rfc3161). List of planned services you can see in doc: http://emercoin.com/DNS_and_Name-Value_Storage
Namecoin does not provide SSH PKI solution, like emcssh, or extended services.

4. Emercoin DNS system can support many TLD zones (currently *.coin|*.emc). Namecoin supports *.bit only

5. DNS-server RFC1035 built-in into each wallet. So, do not needed special dump program, which dumps zone
from coin system and pass dump file to BIND or another DNS server. For instance, our gateway emergate.net don't run any
dedicated DNS software. There is just regular headless wallet on port 53 only, which handles native DNS requests.
Also, this is true distributed and secure DNS. Each wallet owner can send DNS request to his own wallet, and DNS request cannot be intercepted/blocked/altered by MIM.

6. Emercoin DNS allows to store many record types, like A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, etc. In the Namecoin docs, we found examples for A-records only.

7. Emercoin DNS works. Just works. Most of Namecoin NS serers are out of service right now.

8. Regarding DNS service: You can specify name lease time in the Emercoin. In the Namecoin, it is constant, and always ~200 days.

9. Regarding security: Emercoin do not use centralized WEB-server to obtain external IP, as same as it doing Bitcoin, Namecoin and all descendants.
Instead, it utilize rfc3849 STUN. See details: http://emercoin.com/RFC3489_STUN_protocol

10. Regarding financial security: Fixed, non volatile exchange rate. Currently: 1c/EMC, for last ~3 months.
We assume, rate will be slowly increased only, together with EMC economy grows.
You can see historical rate chart: http://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/emercoin/


I hope, 10 items enough for first time.
If needed, I can write more.

Thanks,

Oleg
