Namecoin Forum

I used NMControl because I was hoping to use its domain lookup features to make it easier to support subdomains etc. I later found out that that feature in NMControl is incompletely implemented, so I don't try to parse subdomain fingerprints (probably not hard to do from Javascript, but this is proo...

NMCSocks has some partial support for TLS, but there are no binaries, and as far as I can tell no one was able to make it build. It's discontinued, so it's doubtful that that code will be fixed/finished. I am pledging a 1 BTC bounty to the first developer to implement the TLS feature of the .bit 2....

I agree that the spam is an issue. I'm sure khal could find some trustworthy members to be moderators. (I'd rather the forum not be shut down....)

I'm trying to interact with NMControl's RPC server from Javascript, but I'm not having much luck. Based on code found via Google (i.e. probably crappy code), I have the following: var http = new XMLHttpRequest(); var url = "http://127.0.0.1:9000/"; var params = {method: "data", params: ["getValue", ...

Seems that Alpha 3's virtual hard disk is 1.5GB. With the increasing blockchain size, 1.5GB is no longer sufficient, so I get "low disk space" errors inside the VM. I assume it would be easy to rebuild the image on a bigger virtual hard disk... is this project still in development?

When I run the latest NMControl from GitHub, the DNS server is unable to resolve .bit domains. For example, when I try to go to http://dot-bit.bit in Firefox, Firefox says the server could not be found, and NMControl (in debug mode) displays the following output: http://pastebin.com/HJkKYrXD Non-.bi...

Right now, the 2.0 .bit spec allows fingerprints to be specified for SSL/TLS connections, but offers no way to specify that HTTP clients should enforce HTTPS-only connections. As a result, tools like sslstrip can still MITM the websites if the user neglects to type the "https" in the URL bar. The HT...

Is there any documentation for the nmcontrol commands? I'm trying to do a domain lookup from the bash prompt and I'm not having any luck. $ ./nmcontrol domain lookup 'dot-bit.bit' ERROR: {u'id': 1, u'result': u'Exception : list indices must be integers, not str', u'error': True} I'm fairly confident...

Am I correct in thinking that with namecoin, any lightwight node wouldn't be able to know if a full node was feeding them an outdated name/address mapping, just like with bitcoin currently? This current weakness for lightweight namecoin clients seems quite serious, as it could be used e.g. for phis...

There is not much going on here currently. You might want to try to make a cross post on the bitcointalk alternative clients board. Yeah, I would post on BitcoinTalk, but I only had one post there prior to them creating the "newbie jail." I never bothered to ask for whitelisting (I doubt I would qu...
