Unlike `dns-prop279`, it does not use the DNS wire protocol.  This reduces attack surface and binary size, but prevents delegation from Namecoin to DNS via NS/DS records.\n\n## Usage\n\nYou need [StemNS](https://github.com/namecoin/StemNS) or [TorNS](https://github.com/meejah/TorNS) in order to use `ncprop279`.  You also need a Namecoin lookup client such as Namecoin Core, ConsensusJ-Namecoin, or Electrum-NMC.  Your StemNS/TorNS services configuration might look like this:\n\n```\n_service_to_command = {\n    \"bit.onion\": ['/path/to/ncprop279'],\n    \"bit\": ['/path/to/ncprop279'],\n}\n```\n\nncprop279 can be configured by arguments on the command line (see `ncprop279 -help`)\nor by the same arguments listed in a configuration file. An example configuration\nfile is provided in `ncprop279.conf` in this repository, uncomment and edit any\ndesired lines. Note that the `[ncprop279]` section header is required. This configuration\nfile will not be used automatically. To specify command line arguments directly\nor give a path to the configuration file, append to the list in the map\nmentioned above:\n\n    \"bit.onion\": ['/path/to/ncprop279', '-conf=/path/to/ncprop279.conf']\n\n## Security Notes\n\n* `ncprop279` hasn't been carefully checked for proxy leaks.\n* Using `ncprop279` will make you stand out from other Tor users.\n* Stream isolation for streams opened by applications (e.g. Tor Browser) should work fine.\n* Stream isolation metadata is passed through to the Namecoin lookup client, so any network traffic produced as a result of your lookups (e.g. traffic between Electrum-NMC and ElectrumX) will be stream-isolated.\n* Lookups are cached; the cache is stream-isolated.\n* This whole thing is highly experimental!  Please test it and give feedback, but **don't rely on it behaving correctly**.\n\n## License\n\nncprop279 is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify\nit under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by\nthe Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or\n(at your option) any later version.\n\nncprop279 is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,\nbut WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of\nMERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
