Re: Pricing things in USD onchain
That's indeed an interesting idea. I honestly do not see this happening anytime soon on Namecoin, because it would be a quite large change in the near- to mid-term (and also the immediate benefit does not outweigh this complexity at the moment), but it is good to have some ideas for when we may want...

Re: Harberger taxation for names
That's certainly an interesting approach. In the past, there were various ideas about ensuring that names are distributed "economically efficiently" - but my view is that this is not actually a good goal for Namecoin. One of Namecoin's main advantages over e.g. the DNS system is censorship-resistenc...

Re: How to import NMC wallet to Electrum-NMC?
Extracting and importing private keys is certainly a way. But if you have a newer version of Namecoin-Qt, it uses an HD wallet; if you use "dumpwallet" from the console or namecoin-cli, you may see the "xprv" key in there - and I think you can try importing that into Electrum to get the full wallet....

Importan...

Re: Selling my names
Perhaps, but then of course it depends on the names you have to offer and the price you want. So I suggest you post that information here if you want potential buyers to step up.

Re: Ownership of whole name spaces
So here's my understanding of what you said: If you want to get a chain of nonces and hash commitments, you can do something like H(H(H(N))), then revealing N will reveal all of them. But in the situation I described, you don't need actual hash commitments, and you want to reveal one nonce at a time...

Re: Ownership of whole name spaces
Yes, you can use a hash chain instead. But I'm not actually sure how that would simplify things or reduce blockchain usage, to be honest. You still need to reveal the next preimage from the chain every day, just as if you had generated random commitments. Or perhaps I've misunderstood your proposal ...

Ownership of whole name spaces
In some situations, it could be useful to have a notion of "owned namespaces" (not just names). In other words, if I owned "domob/", then only I should be able to register or update any name in "domob/". Everyone else should still be able to look them up. Obviously, this is not possible with Namecoi...

Re: Domains Lost due to hard drive crash
Yes exactly - names are stored in the same way as currency in your wallet. So if you had a backup of your wallet (which you generally should always make anyway), you could restore the domains as well. If your keys have not been backed up in any way, then I'm afraid the names are also lost. But as yo...
