Re: Adopting and running gombadi/dnsseeder from the repo at Github

Next up is explaining NS records and how to check if anything already listens on port 53 on your server. On debian you can use this command: sudo lsof -i That will output a list of processes listening and will get you a clue what ports are already taken. Read more about it at https://packages.debian...

Re: Adopting and running gombadi/dnsseeder from the repo at Github

The quest continues to find the real bottleneck. One strange thing is that using an initial node that is a legacy node with protocol version 38000 ( https://github.com/namecoin/namecoin-legacy/blob/nc0.3.80/src/serialize.h#L38 ) gets me quickly to about 15 nodes found. I use Wireshark to listen to t...

Re: Adopting and running gombadi/dnsseeder from the repo at Github

We need Go to build dnsseeder from source. Its pretty straight forward. Download from golang.org and check the hash with something like "shasum -a 256". Follow the short instruction for your OS and maybe export GOPATH to a path of your liking. We will "go get" from the repo at https://github.com/gom...

Re: Tried testnet to get started...

The "offline faucet" is still working!

Tried it to import one of the addresses. The link has moved sligtly https://iancoleman.io/bip39/

Namecoin and Bitcoin Testnet is the same.. There is no "Namecoin Testnet" to select on that page. I guess a PR would be possible, to make it easier for beginners.
