Re: Price discovery: who votes?

Since Namecoin is merged-mined, it would actually be a bit of work to get GBT going for it. Basically, it'd take these steps: Extend GBT to be merged-mining aware at the Bitcoin level; miners would need to tell the pool which merged mining chain(s) they wish to participate in, and the pool would re...

"Namecoin 2.0"

Just throwing out a concept here... This is NOT based on ANY of the existing Namecoin infrastructure/design. In particular, this does not have any dedicated currency/tokens for buying domain names. The Bitcoin block chain is required. Names can be added by associating a Bitcoin output with a value o...

Re: Validation bug fixed - please upgrade to nc0.3.24.64

Actually, only a majority of miners need to upgrade. Once that happens, those who don't will just be subject to a higher rate of invalids. Users who don't will need to wait for more confirmations.

Re: Testnet Merged Mining Block Number

See https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Alternative_Chains#Scaling_up . Ok, having read this page I have a lot more (hopefully constructive) criticism: 1. Bitcoin already has its own serialization format. Protobuf adds yet another dependency, and breaks compatibility regularly. 2. Putting every transaction ...
