Then again, why not use namecoin ? They (we ?) have a spec with what format your records should look like:

https://wiki.namecoin.info/index.php?title=Identity

Basically, there's a whole id/ namespace where you register your personal information, and there's a d/ namespace where you register domain names (akin to DNS). Onename is the same except they use i/ (they haven't even tried to discuss it and basically did it all from scratch to start clean)

The major problem is that you basically need a namecoin client to interact with the data... unless you use dnschain [0], which act as a HTTP-to-Namecoin and DNS-to-Namecoin bridge. Try this:

$ dig @dns.dnschain.net otokar.bit

$ curl http://dns.dnschain.net/d/otokar

both are my personal domain, delivered to you through plain old protocols. The last one even works in your browser !

Come and join us, this is actually the future. Oh and by the way I'm id/rakoo.

Looks like they didn't pay protection money to a CA. Huh.
