Hi,

Thanks for your interest.

I don't operate anything to do with Emercoin.

Just to clear things up, the Namecoin software handles registrations 
using the Namecoin network, and all that I am currently doing is running 
a script which turns the Namecoin blockchain into a zone file used by 
BIND, which is the .bit zone for OpenNIC.

There is potential for handling registrations, although I imagine that 
would be quite complicated and of limited use. I think the crucial issue 
is the spam. I occasionally get emails asking about domains that aren't 
resolving as they should be. Normally I've linked the domains/IP 
addresses in question to reports of malicious activity. As much as I'd 
like to, I can't blacklist these domains and prevent them from going 
into the zonefile in the first place as I would need the agreement of 
the community to do this.

I'm more than happy for one of you to operate the zone. Anyone is free 
to use the script that I have on my Github, or an alternative script to 
produce the zone.

Should there be a vote on who will take control?

Thanks
