Namecoin Forum

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand, it's gone.

A namecoin faucet is a great idea.

I know it really sparked something inside of me when I got my first few bitcoins from the faucet.

I probably told 3 people about it that night.

The only problem I can really forsee is some kind of backlash or revolt amongst mining pools for whatever reason. Imagine that deepbit.net decides to take us up on the mergined mining offer after block 24k, if only to place a few hundred thousand namecoins in tycho's personal pocket without telling ...

I don't see why everybody is worried about merged mining.

The creation rate of namecoins will even out within 1 month I can assure you, probably much sooner even. Then all we will be "stuck with" is tightened network security and less of an "early adopter problem".

Why allow the owner to revoke renting at all?

I don't believe the owner should have any say over the use of the domain during the rental period.

Any big stories that we do find, please post them here as well and ask that somebody add the relevant information into the Namecoin wikipedia article.

The title of this post is a little confusing. If it were me, I would have titled it: You MUST update to Namecoin client to v0.3.21.90 before block 24,000!!! Is that even correct, however? Is that what we are required to do? Update to that release before 24k? Is that what this thread is saying? Yes....

Thanks that makes sense given the rate at which we were generating blocks. Yes whenever we get into the area of solving blocks every few minutes, there is bound to be some discrepancy in time amongst mining rigs. Not sure if there is any disadvantage to this whatsoever, or why we even show the "tim...

imho, once popularized, a .bit domain registration will be worth much, much more than a regular .com registration. Can you list your reasoning behind your opinion? Sure. People have no problem paying for "protection". Look at whois privacy for example. That alone is worth an extra $3 to $30/year de...
