Namecoin Forum

There was a bug in the package: the desktop files were in the wrong location. This is fixed now. After installing, you should find namecoin in the dash. The Debian/Ubuntu packages contain both the gui version and the daemon. There are separate RPMs for gui + daemon for the other systems. My reposito...

I have to admit I haven't tested the ubuntu builds. So your feedback is welcome.
Which dependencies are causing problems? Which version of ubuntu are you using? Did you just download the packages and install them manually, or did you add my OBS repo to your sources.list?

Me too.

I've extended my repository at https://build.opensuse.org/package/show ... s/namecoin with xUbuntu-13.x and Fedora-20. Older Fedoras, CentOS and RHEL are on the TODO list.

Check the open build service (see my signature). It supports various linux distros. Mac&Windows will probably be more difficult. Can you get the packages included in the Ubuntu, Fedora, and CentOS distros? It would make setting up Namecoin much, much easier! Fedora and Ubuntu have been on my TODO l...

An important detail of CNAME RRs is that when a CNAME is present for a domain then no other RRs can exist for that domain.

So if an alias is equivalent to a CNAME, then the tls must be ignored.

3. HTTPS + PFS does not (I don't think) protect against active MITM attacks involving compromised CA certs. End-to-end encryption, therefore, is the only reliable solution, and HTTPS does not offer that. Can you please elaborate, why you don't consider HTTPS / TLS to be "end-to-end encryption"? How...

The RFC is quite long, and the wiki is too short; perhaps you could help clarify something: what extra functionality does DANE offer that Namecoin by itself does not already provide? I know the question has already been answered, but it seems what I was getting at didn't get through. 1. DANE allows...

SSL certificate verification Another aspect is support for SSL-enabled sites. There isn't much chance that the SSL root certificate issuers are going to be willing to hand out valid certificates for the *.bit TLD. Yet without SSL, your data is not just trivial to sniff, but also to modify in transi...

If you use the same builds of namecoind and namecoin-qt (or build them yourself on the same machine) they should use the same library versions.
