IPFS support

If you have not checked out IPFS you should do it: https://ipfs.io It looks like a great match for Namecoin as it allows storage of files by hash very easily. Note that ipfs is not anonymous: https://github.com/ipfs/faq/issues/18 I have created a patch that adds IPFS support to NMControl: https://gi...

.bit Redirection to Legacy Domains

With a proxy solution it should be very easy to implement something like this:

mysite.bit ---> whateverlengthydomain.org/somepath/moarpath/

Is "alias" or "translate" from the d/ spec ok to use (what is the difference between these btw?)?

Re: Hardfork 2016 Value Size Limit

Reopening previous discussions is bad practice but I can't help it: (from https://forum.namecoin.info/viewtopic.php?p=6574#p6574) [...] Assuming that a single large-value name is more expensive than multiple small-value names, then users will only use long-valued names for use cases such as the 4k ...

Re: Hardfork 2016 Value Size Limit

I'll post a more thorough analysis of this later, once I try to analyze the economic arguments. But, we should consider whether it's possible to implement value size changes without a hardfork. In particular, how do the Namecoin consensus rules view a name_update that has more than 2 PUSHDATA ops? ...

Re: Google Summer of Code 2016

Well then. I opened this thread a month ago so that we could try to get things done ahead of time. Joseph is the only one who has assisted substantively in the past month. At this point, if we can only get 2 people to look at a wiki page or forum thread in a month, I don't think I can in good consc...

Re: Getting Jekyll deployed soon

If not, I suggest that we consider pushing a commit to the old site which does an HTML redirect to the version of the Jekyll site that is hosted by github.io. The benefit is that this is trivial to deploy and can be done very quickly. The drawback is that end users would see a github.io URL instead...

Re: [NMDF] Namecoin Bounty Cornucopia

They talked to me extensively and discussed it on IRC. Feel free to check the IRC logs on #namecoin-meeting. I believe there is more than reasonable consensus that BitcoinJ is an acceptable way to go about SPV support (indeed, all of the P2P SPV Bitcoin clients on bitcoin.org use BitcoinJ), so I'm ...

Re: Module Request: Keep a Namespace in Sync

I wrote a patch for Namecoin Core which adds a name_sync command, which is used to implement namesync. It's in a subdirectory of this repository but github is down so: https://github.com/hlandau/namesync Hit! Once again I am impressed by the thorough specification and general sophistication of your...
