Create Names
This guide will help users to create a Names using the Nexus Interface. Before we start to create a Names also known as Local Names, users need to be familiar with the concepts and usage.
Names are those created within the context of a signature chain and are also known as local names. To use a local name you must prefix the name with the owners username separated by a single colon, e.g.
bob:savings. This is equivalent to saying "look at all the Names registered in the sig chain bob and find one called savings and then see what object register it points to". There can only be one Name called savings in the sig chain bob, but another user alice can also create a local name called savingsNames are local or reside within the context of a Sigchain.In this field the user provides the name to be created.
