This document lists the set of features scheduled for the 0.15 release, due in mid-September 2017.
- Automatic name renewal in the clients.
-
Revert the namespace lifetime multiplier change in 0.14.
-
Adjust the price multiplier to preserve a $230 USD to 1 BTC exchange.
-
Make name transfers take up to a week to complete, and make them cancellable by either the sender or recipient. This is to limit the damage that can be done by a key compromise.
-
Allow the name owner to specify a "name administrator" key that can update and renew the name, but not transfer or revoke it.
-
Allow a name owner to specify a set of trusted revokers upon registration. Each revoker owns a key, and a threshold of them (e.g. 3 of 5) can transfer the name to a new address. After 30 days, the name will become usable again by the address's owner. The idea is that a name owner can give some of his/her friends a revoke key, and if the owner loses their key or has it compromised, his/her friends can forcibly transfer it back. The revoke keys are one-time-use. The 30 day window gives the owner time to give out new revoke keys, or (if the revokers were compromised) gives the owner time to register and establish a different name.
