Namecoin Forum

ehh.. I vote for keeping the logo...?

Bitcoin recently did reduce their tx relay fee.

Some people argued against it for the reason that it would make Bitcoin ultimately more susceptible to this issue.

Bitcoin's economic disincentives offer significant protections against mempool exhaustion attacks (whether memory, or CPU-based.)

https://gist.github.com/midnightmagic/579cbe6553b3f738a56e I have built a replacement statically-linked namecoind from commitid db10ddb1a712e499068b477af027a3110b3aad3b, 64-bit, from a Ubuntu 12.04.5 host.

I don't think you understand how dangerous blockchain forks and consensus failures are to blockchain-based currencies. Requiring a hardfork every time a namespace spec is updated is completely unworkable. It also makes it impossible to experiment with new features in a real-world setting. I believe...

We could use eventually additionally to the dynamic fee system a length based domain expiration. domain length 10-19 normal expiration domain length 0 - 9 expiration in half time domain length 20- .. double expiration time Shorter domain names would have a higher recycling rate. :D Intentionally de...

What you're describing as "entropy" is just an additional speedbump for people who are willing to mine to store arbitrary data in the result. You increase or decrease the speedbump, and if you do it incorrectly, the effort is wasted, while the side-effects we have to live with until the next hardfor...

Hello!

This rebasing is a good project, and I'm glad someone is writing stuff re: namecoin. IMO, namecoin is a vital anti-censorship project.
