Enhancement: Lamden Name Service

[crosschainer]

I figured I would make this a Github Issue to track progress and so its not only something we write about on TG.
As the Lamden Name Service is actually a big success in terms of usage I see a need to further improve it.

According to the NFT Marketplace Stats - https://taurusnft.art/stats.html
We already have 6364 Names minted at 1 TAU each and resales at 200+ TAU by different people. The most successful NFT collection on Lamden yet.

The first goal of it is pretty simple, use it as an Alias for your Lamden Wallet. As the Holder of a name it is already somewhat connected to your address.

The idea I have in mind for Lamden Wallet is

The click on next would simply send it to the matching address.
Pretty simple right?

You can either use my already existing api to get the result:
https://lns.reflecttau.io/resolve/stu.tau (append the .tau when you are doing a request to api from wallet)

or use this code as a starting point to resolve it yourself:

Additionally it would be good if the nameservice contract can be changed in Lamden Wallet Settings, like you can edit the networks you are connected to.
For example now it pulls from con_nameservice_v3, but for example if we switch to testnet and want to try a different contract it would be good if con_nameservice_v3 is default value but can be changed.

@crosschainer Thks for your advice ! I have a question. Whether the domain name is case-sensitive?

[crosschainer]

@Dapiguabc its all lowercase always

[crosschainer]

also "con_...." is not allowed since only alphanumeric charcters allowed

@JeffWScott I've added this feature to wallet. I think we should offer official name resolver service for wallet and then I can push this update.

@Dapiguabc

Can you add an endpoint to the blockservice to resolve names? I don't want to have to run more things

[Dapiguabc]

okay~

@crosschainer @cross_chain1 Allen’s priorities are to get the node dashboard out for Mainnet release. That’s a large task so this endpoint down the list.

This already appeared so maybe can finish it soon :)
