I suggest we double the bounty for the SPV client from 0.5BTC to 1.0BTC. Any objections? FYI, EN and Stephen from OU are currently working on this, using BitcoinJ. Interesting. what is OU? If they want to claim the bounty they should post here. Well, right now they haven't yet earned the bounty, so...

Very interesting idea. But there still need to be incentives in place for miners to actually distribute the value data. The only reason miners have to broadcast blocks bodies is so that others can verify them....

It can be worked around by spanning multiple names using "import" or similar. For simple use cases this might become a bit of a hassle, though. With the workaround it can blo...

Another update to v0.3.3

If somebody could test and post an offer for id/curie or id/dirac it would be nice.

Changing the value size is also certain to be controversial, as I am not convinced that it will be a net benefit (possibly bad for scalability, also possibly bad in terms of making harmful use cases easier). Again, I'd like to see more discussion, and more hard data, before making such a decision. ...

Bitcoin Core has a nice notification API. See https://github.com/namecoin/namecoin-core/issues/33 for the discussion of adding name notifications. I'm not sure why this thread was even created, given that Phelix had already said in the GitHub discussion that the feature he just requested in this th...

Is there another one than this: https://wiki.namecoin.org/index.php?title=Identity ?
