Namecoin Forum

I have a Namecoin supporting fork of Peer4Commit (a peercoin fork of tip4commit), done by my friend bvsh, if anybody wants to host & maintain it. https://github.com/bvsh/namecoin4commit it'll need updating with some upstream patches & more testing, but it should work.

I still have problems with libminiupnpc & your rpm on Fedora 19 too. It'd be better if OBS included Fedora updates, sounds like it's a fault with their system? I don't use upnp.

I'm not sure it supports name operations. I'll probably use ABE unless anybody has any better suggestions, but that doesn't support name operations either. I want to get a working explorer set up for namecoin testnet, I'm willing to host it, I just don't have code for any that support Namecoin's nam...

Cloudflare charge for the privilege of them doing a MITM on your https, I'm just using their free plan for DNS & wont be using their caching service, I'll probably move to my own DNS servers (with OVH as backup secondary DNS) soon. OVH/Kimsufi provide free DDOS protection on all their servers too. I...

Another problem is this is a centralised verification system & therefore untrustworthy. There's no need for Namecoin in this scheme, it could be done just as well without Namecoin & adding Namecoin to the scheme would just be useless overhead for everybody involved. If you're going to verify ID with...

The use is too specific. It'd be better to add verification to id/ entries, then it could be used for other ID verification purposes too.

Another option, rather than a full rebase is just to cherry pick certain patches from Bitcoin & other alts. We probably don't need everything, but namecoind is still missing some features like ipv6 & a few useful rpc commands, there may be bug fixes, etc too. Might be the best option in the short te...

I'll be improving the code & getting my faucet back online soon, I've got a much cheaper kimsufi server to host it on now, so I should be able to sustain it. I've got a better domain name for it (with ssl cert) too. Going to try to get it handling errors better & make payouts more configurable. Unle...

Also note that it isn't particularly hard to mine coins on test-net if you need some. (But I still believe that a faucet would also be useful.) It is useful to have a testnet faucet & it's really easy to keep it full of coins with just a little mining. It's that easy to mine testnet coins that you ...

It's nowhere near 90% done, there's lots still to do. If you want to turn your risky gamble into an investment then you should fund some development work.
