opendig is a command-line tool that extends the functionality of dig to be compatible with the Open Name System. Specifically, it adds support for the resolution of blockchain user handles.
ONS extends DNS in a backwards-compatible way by supporting the registration and resolution of:
- user handles on the blockchain (currently supported by opendig)
- domains on the blockchain (in the design phase)
User calls to opendig will return user data in a standard schema.
## Installation$ sudo pip install opendig
$ opendig -u naval
$ opendig bitcoin -u naval
$ opendig -d startupboy.com
from opendig import ons_resolver
print ons_resolver('naval')
from opendig import dns_resolver
print dns_resolver('startupboy.com')
OpenDig comes with pre-configured default servers 8.8.8.8 (public DNS server by Google) and 162.243.253.65, 107.170.167.141 (public ONS server by OneName). We strongly recommend using a local config file, and using servers of your own choice:
$ touch ~/.opendig
$ vi ~/.opendig
A sample config looks like this:
[dns]
servers = 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4
[ons]
#all these servers are queried and a check is performed that they return the same data
#to reduce trust on any single party, use your own servers or multiple public servers
servers = 162.243.253.65, 107.170.167.141
