Namecoin Forum

i've been looking at it, near as i can tell the source expects there to only be 1 other thing on the stack for op_name_new so i figure i'm either reading the script wrong, it's sending it wrong, or i'm reading the source code wrong.
could you tell me if i'm reading that script right?

or if someone knows of a resource for namecoin specific extensions to the bitcoin protocol, or at least the script section, that would be useful (the bitcoin spec has been very helpful so far)

so i have this script from the block chain: 52 07 64 2f 6d 75 73 69 63 08 b2 98 3d 3d 1d 62 21 2a 01 78 6d 6d 76 a9 14 35 ca 4f a6 aa 0d fd 75 92 0e d0 f4 50 7e 90 db 0b 64 c9 e4 88 ac c0 the first one seems to add the number 2 to the stack then it adds 7 characters to the stack, then it adds 8 char...

not quite what i meant.
i did eventually find that it creates the database "nameindexfull.dat" which from what i get is a berkeley db, so i should be able to read it easy enough, but how does it get this file. i understand it's peer to peer but what protocol does the P2P network use?

i'm working on some software to get the name/value pairs from the blocklist based on certain criteria, thing is..i have no idea how to get it or how to read it. i have been looking over the code but i can't find where this happens. perhaps someone could help point me in the right direction?
