Re: mysterious magical discussion with a terrible title

I just realized I left some important details out. It's not clear why a custom DNS server is necessary (as opposed to using one of the existing solutions as-is, like nmcsocks). edit: on second thought, I don't think it's necessary to modify code beyond what's already been done. It just needs a smal...

Re: mysterious magical discussion with a terrible title

It is unlikely that you will be able to replace CA's and get acceptable security without some kind of client software. Using a trusted CA key is what Convergence does, with the condition that the CA key is generated on your computer, so no third party can generate fraudulent certs. If we used an ex...

switch board to simplemachines?

-> http://simplemachines.org

I highly recommend it over phpbb. There's a script to automate most of the conversion. If interested, let me know and I'll dig it up.

Also, I keep getting logged out because I visit a tab with an old 'sid' value in the URL. Halp?

Re: Merge/deprecate one of: id or p namespaces?

Actually there is already a Mac build: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=236375.msg3301430; Well never mind then. :) Mac build would be great. How can we trust you? :?: Trust the source, Luke.

CA alternatives [mysterious magical discussion]

at the request of a mod , I'm forking a conversation into a new thread to avoid derailing the parent thread. Convergence for Namecoin will soon support using an nmcontrol instance that isn't running on the default host/port. This basically does what you're talking about. It should be emphasized that...

Re: New size of the value field

Thank you for worrying about what happens with Namecoin in the next 2 generations. You are a really namecoiner. :) Why thank you. 8-) But in one or two generations as you addressed storage will be not a problem. Estimating that far out involves a significant amount of guesswork. Is the current limi...

Re: NMC price charts

Very cool, but I don't understand why people compare NMC to BTC all the time. I'm more interested in NMC vs USD, because BTC is very unstable, and few people use it. Can you add USD plz?
