Re: NMControl Windows Installer RC1

The installer will automatically install .bit support on Windows 8 and higher. Only .bit requests will be redirected to NMControl. The Namecoin client (v0.3.80 or core) needs to run and have the blockchain downloaded for .bit resolving to work. Note the system tray icon. NMControl_v0.8_c_setup.exe ...

Re: Name Squatting once again...

[...] Why are possible coercive solutions discussed before the most obvious one has been tried (which is to make it possible to easily buy and sell Namecoin assets)? Well, we are trying to make things easier but it is somewhat difficult. There is nametrade/ANTPY that can be used to make secure "ato...

Re: Name Squatting once again...

This event is a matter if interpretation. This is a blurred line between illegal, unlawful and not legitimate. I would disagree with that because I approach the problem from the property standpoint. If one acquires property legally, then it's legal, lawful and legitimate. Unless there's a question ...

Re: Name Squatting once again...

A hypothetical: Imagine if names were completely free. A single attacker could register the entire d/ namespace (it would take some time due to the block size limit, but would still be very effective), effectively DoSing the system. I believe that this can be considered censorship. Names are not fu...

Re: Downgrade to unsecure version or figure out the CLI?

> The conf folder nameGUI uses is buried deeply in lib/namerpc.py (line 230 for Windows). I will add a command line option / conf file with the soon to come binary version. Also it would be nice to try to read the location from the registry. I don't think I have anything in the registry (but I don't...

Re: Suggestion: Switch to Slack, Gitter, or OSS equivalent

On the subject of Discourse, I'm also dubious. I normally browse with JavaScript disabled for obvious security reasons, in which case Discourse becomes basically unusable, providing a quite awful-looking, read-only interface. This doesn't seem like an upgrade to me, and changing URLs is a big no-no...

Downgrade to unsecure version or figure out the CLI?

I am trying to use Namecoin but since I've upgraded to the latest version, I can't use the pane for easy control operations. That leaves me with 2 possibilities; the CLI or NameGUI. NameGUI: my config file is not in the default location and I haven't been able to figure out where in the code I can h...

Re: Name Squatting once again...

A better solution to the problem would be to increase name fees. I completely or largely agree with the rest, except this solution. The idea that increased name fees would help is false and similar to the idea that increasing the minimum wage would help workers get by easier. And just like with the...

Re: BountySource Salt Fundraising

Okay, so the response in this thread seems to be positive. Last call for anyone to object before I confirm with BountySource that we're interested -- I'll talk to BountySource in a few days assuming no objections are raised. Biolizard89, I think you just go to their Web site and register, no need t...
