I think this article is on to something really important. It is way too easy currently to get caught up in the frenzy over the specuation surrounding Bitcoin.

This idea of the Bitcoin protocol as a decentralized, secure, and transparent storage system has all kinds of applications, whether Namecoin, smart property or something else.

I played around with using Namecoin as a more consumer-friendly form of drm.

Ultimately I think this level of efficiency would probably destroy most developers who used it (especially games).
