Namecoin Forum

I liked it. But I suspect you'll have little time to keep the page updated. And it's a shame to throw the baby (frequent promotional activity) out with the bathwater (misinformation). If this were a company, the overly zealous marketing department making claims that have the engineers cringing would...

Multisig would allow a "registrar" to hold 1 of n keys, where n will typically be 3. User presents the 1 key on their machine/device and the registrar signs the transaction with their key and viola (assuming 2-of-3) - they can update, renew, transfer. This is why I think it's very important - so we...

I'm willing to take on the twitter account, I'm on there all day long most days.

being used/owned by OneName or do they own that namespace so that only they can use it? Nobody "owns" anything in Namecoin world. Only if someone is in posession of a private key for a particular item then you may call it "ownership" of that item. In other words: yes, you can register any u/<name> ...

private registration takes care of that issue, free on 1&1 No disrespect intended but this is not a good solution.
