Re: Merged mining block number

As of a few days ago, the master branch of https://github.com/vinced/namecoin/ has the latest namecoin-merged stuff. RC3 is: https://github.com/vinced/namecoin/tree/nc0.3.24.53-rc3 So far, switchover block # is 24000. See: https://github.com/vinced/namecoin/blob/master/src/namecoin.cpp#L94 For bitco...

Re: Testnet Merged Mining Block Number

I'm not sure on this... but are the testnet problems because: main.cpp: CheckProofOfWork() switches on GetAuxPowStartBlock() ... which ends up calling GetAuxPowStartBlock() in namecoin.cpp as: virtual int GetAuxPowStartBlock() { return 24000; } But I don't see any checks on main vs testnet along the...

Re: Merged mining block number

Sorry for littering this thread, but there is a question that came to my mind. On Masterpool we are generating Testnet BTC fine. But Testnet NMC are rejected (I guess due to the fact that block 24k is hardcoded) Do we have a possibility to test if the namecoind if working properly above block 24k? ...

Testnet Merged Mining Block Number

Many people are interested in testing out the merged mining system before it goes live. Namecoin testnet chain is an ideal place for, well, testing. To speed things up in regards to merged mining, may I suggest those of us active on testnet set a date and/or block number to upgrade to merged mining ...

Re: Problem on Block Explorer?

Indeed, testnet block explorer is a bit confused, and not showing all coins in this case... Perhaps a clue: In block 12947, in the transaction http://testnet.explorer.dot-bit.org/tx/20645 the address mmFrW2cDEUrJY4yctxZ2vMaxgCghbqAfoh is showing up three times: - As input of 123.456789 - As input of...

Re: Testnet Block Explorer

The namecoin-testnet block explorer is at:

http://testnet.explorer.dot-bit.org/
http://testnet.explorer.bit/

But the namecoin.us proxy via http://testnet.explorer.namecoin.us/ seems to be down currently.

enjoy your testing 8-)

Re: FYI: Somebody put our wikipedia article up for deletion.

The survival of the Wikipedia Namecoin article will depend on 1 (one) thing only: multiple references from reliable, independent sources. Currently, the references on the Wikipedia article are weak. So most likely the article will get deleted. No big deal. Just keep watching for mentions of Namecoin...

Re: EFF, Wikileaks namecoin donations

Sadly, I think the case EFF made against accepting bitcoin donations is the exact same case they'll make for not accepting namecoin donations.

So scratch EFF off the list, they don't want our coins.

Re: Messaging system

Yes, the cost is a concern. Best to try this on testnet for a while first ;) The 1023 limit makes it a SMS/twitter type of thing. Creating longer messages via multiple chained-together m/ names is possible. The public nature of messages is a choice of the sender. Message content can be encrypted. Fo...
