Protecting Namecoin Users from Their Mistakes: Namecoin Wallet UX

CDC Mini Stage
CDC
If user mistakes cause their website to go down, that's already bad -- but not nearly as bad as if user mistakes make them permanently lose control of their website or get doxed and arrested. This talk is about how we're helping Namecoin wallet users avoid mistakes before they cause irreversible consequences.
People are generally way more careless than we give them credit for, and all it takes for a full on security breach is one mistake, anywhere in the worst of cases. Our job in Namecoin is to prevent such incidents from occurring, and this means designing our UX in such a way that mistakes can be avoided by end-users. In this talk we discuss the consequences of mistakes on the user's end as well as mitigations that have or will be implemented in Namecoin. Topics to be covered include: * Warning about likely-invalid domain configurations. * Preventing accidental expiration disasters. * Anonymity for name registrations. * Monero+Namecoin interoperability. * Loading a common UI for Namecoin Core and Electrum-NMC from one codebase.
