It’s your server, and the operation of which, including who could take it over is up to your discretion. At least, as far as I can tell according to our current policies. You can definitely hold a vote here if you’d like.

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
