RIF Name Service Description
For those who are not technically able to use the internet, ease of use is crucial.

Unstoppable Domains
All you need to know in order to send cryptocurrency is the blockchain domain of the recipient. You can send bitcoin, ethereum and any other cryptocurrency using one domain. You don't have to worry about sending to the wrong address. Blockchain domains can be rented or owned. You can purchase the domain for a one-time registration fee and you will never have to renew it again. Just like a cryptocurrency, the domain is stored in your wallet. It is your property and you are the only one who can move it. Point your domain to content on a distributed storage network. After you claim the name on blockchain with your wallet, the domain is stored in your cryptocurrency wallet.
