Apparently they have a generic key/value storage... with values of up to 20kB. I wonder how long it'll take until the first child porn pics are distributed through that coin.

Once the domain names are actually backed with quality code and infrastructure...

After the user adoption phase...let the early users start selling their domain names at a profit.  Those are my thoughts anyway...
