Re: Namecoin API Server Interface Specification

What I'd be more interested in is defining a format for querying the API - i. e., which HTTP POST/GET requests to send to some API URL to retrieve the name_show output as result. (And what the server responds to for errors like "name doesn't exist".) If this was defined, I could easily implement th...

Re: Namecoin API Server Interface Specification

(Thanks indolering for pointing me to this thread.) As I said to indolering, I'm very appreciative of the idea of collaborating on a technical specification / "standard" of sorts for this, even though I'm skeptical on the outset of reaching any consensus. Thank you phelix, however, for attempting it...

Re: [NMDF] Namecoin API Server [0.5BTC]

The DNSChain solution is so different than what I had asked for that I can not pay out any NMDF funds for it with good conscience at this point of time. I know nothing about the tools (coffee?) DNSChain is built upon. Ah, so you're saying it must be built in python? Got it. I rather dislike python ...

Sorry, not sure I understand, what do you mean by that? What doesn't DNSChain do for you?

Re: [NMDF] Namecoin API Server [0.5BTC]

Given that DNSChain was made not in response to this thread, but for other reasons, and the hostility that has come up over this topic*, I withdraw my application for the 0.5BTC. phelix, you're welcome to give the 0.5BTC to indolering if you think his solution is superior to DNSChain, give it to ano...

Re: [NMDF] Namecoin API Server [0.5BTC]

Then you haven't been paying attention, I was actually quoting another developer's description of your reactions to feedback. Like I said, I haven't gotten the politician vibe from anyone else here. Your statement is orthogonal to that observation. Give it to me straight instead. You did a great jo...

Re: [NMDF] Namecoin API Server [0.5BTC]

This is a completely different reality than the one we currently live in. Go register your own CA and get browsers to accept it if you don't believe me. To argue that DNSChain and CAs are "the same thing" is to display complete ignorance about these realities. Sorry, I wasn't as clear as I could ha...

Re: [NMDF] Namecoin API Server [0.5BTC]

1. It's not a 3rd party. It's you, your own party. That is what... 1st party? DNSNMC provides the missing “glue” to the Namecoin blockchain that makes it immediately accessible to clients of all types with zero configuration. A network administrator need only enter the IP address of a DNSNMC-compli...

Re: [NMDF] Namecoin API Server [0.5BTC]

K, read that too, still of the same opinion. Try phrasing a sentence like this: "UXTO makes DNSChain obsolete because ______." I can at least respond to that and explain why you are mistaken. ;) Kidding, maybe I'll agree, but right now it's hard for me to understand what point you are trying to mak...

Re: [NMDF] Namecoin API Server [0.5BTC]

I really wish we had collaborated early on because I really need to work on the front-end, not the backend. I honestly would have just used Sug's backend had I understood what he was doing early on. However, retooling for either one will take time and I don't think either of us really want to redo ...
