What happened?

It's been a long time, so for people who weren't around since Namecoin rebooted in the 2015ish era ... hello! I was extremely active on the project during my college years: starting with helping the community get back control of online infrastructure, I built a JavaScript DNS polyfill (speech.is), a...

Misc Social Media Accounts

I saw that I have a Namecoin Twitter login in my password manager today, and I vaguely remember having access to Hootsuite and Clipperz as well. Have the passwords on these accounts been rotated? Has the email for these accounts been changed (I *might* have signed up for them using my blackhole emai...

Re: Facebook Page

But if it helps ... According to Jeremy, I am a persona-non-grata here. I'm still unclear on what that means, but I'm assuming that I shouldn't have admin privileges on any official projects. ... and doesn't require me to actively log in more often ...

Facebook Page

I went to remove myself from the Facebook Namecoin page today, but I found out that I'm the only admin still on Facebook. I don't have many functional days ATM, so please let me know what to do ASAP.

JSON standard for DNS Information

Hey everyone, I'm still trying to ... get back on my horse but the IETF is working on a JSON standard for DNS records which I thought some people might be interested in. It's being handled by the dnsoverhttp working group, you can find the mailing list here.

Hope everyone is well. :D

Re: Giving a Percentage of Name Fees to Miners

Giving *any* fraction of the name fee to miners immediately creates an incentive to sell discounted names, which is unacceptable. As I said above, I don't think *any* incentive is unacceptable, it's only unacceptable if they can turn that discount into a profit and significantly decrease the revenu...

Re: Giving a Percentage of Name Fees to Miners

I also think this is a bad idea. Name fees should be destroyed and not given to miners. Besides the negatives of giving them discounts, miners are already those network participants that actually earn some reward for their services. Merge mining is not really that hard to do (once you've set it up)...

Giving a Percentage of Name Fees to Miners

I've recently been concerned about what happens after block rewards run out. We aren't Bitcoin, so our transaction volume will never be high enough to provide a decent security margin. And even if we assume 0 additional overhead to merge-mine Namecoin, we have to defend against attacks on our own. F...

Re: Officially releasing Namecore

I disagree. That text isn't changed very often, and the usability benefits of having accurate build instructions outweigh the bother of having to manually merge changes occasionally IMO. There are plenty of intermediate-expertise users who are comfortable with a command line but don't have extensiv...
