Adds BTC DNS scheme for Money Addresses #40
Conversation
Refers to resolving a Money Address via DNS according to BIP-0353[^0]. Changes: - Updates table of contents - Adds BTC DNS currency specific part definition Notes: - In the format definition, I've referred to the user-provided input value as `internet-identifier`, based on the address specific defined by RFC 5322[^1]. Although BIP-0353 does not explicitly mention this, its definition does match RFC 5322.

Let me know if there's a more appropriate example I can use here, e.g. matt@mattcorallo.com.

I thought dns was the most appropriate prefix here, as the Money Address is resolved via a TXT lookup.

@hugomd do you know if there are any other dns based address/invoice/offer lookup BIPs or conventions that are used within Bitcoin? if not, dns makes sense to me!

I didn't think there were, but I did some more digging. It looks like OpenAlias defines a similar mechanism using DNS.
Given BIP-353 is a merged BIP, I'm inclined to say we should use dns, and other mechanisms should use their own namespace, e.g. urn:btc:openalias:<internet-identifier>
Refers to resolving a Money Address via DNS according to BIP-03531.
Changes:
Notes:
internet-identifier, based on the address specific defined by RFC 53222. Although BIP-0353 does not explicitly mention this, its definition does match RFC 5322.Footnotes
