Re: Namecoins are destroyed... is this how it works?

One of the ideas discussed for improved fee structure is to have the coins used to register a name be released after the name expires. If this is implemented, no additional coins would be lost. I think this idea is relatively popular (I definitely support it). This is a really good idea; I'm thinki...

Re: Namecoin Passport for World Citizens, helping refugees

i was thinking that hash of the photo could be created for verification against a chip passport. also we could encode our DNA into the namespace through a hash, so in the future all someone needs is to grab a sample plus some biometric data, fingerprints, retinal eye scan all encoded into the namesp...

Namecoins are destroyed... is this how it works?

Currently everyone here is doing a rebase of Bitcoin for Namecoin, there is an already agreed upon list of things to do. which I am not sure what they are but they are written somewhere in one of the forum topics.

Re: Rebasing namecoin on bitcoin 0.8

Cool cool. Do you have any experience with the bitcoind/namecoind code specifically? May I ask what kind of C++ projects you've worked on? (Not trying to be a dick, just want to make sure you know what you're getting into.) Actually, the Dot-Bit spec supports Freenet, I don't think there are any im...

Re: Rebasing namecoin on bitcoin 0.8

I'll be reviewing code, learning as much as possible about the construction of the Bitcoin client (8.5). I'll also be reviewing as much info as possible about the TCP/IP system, I intend to build a secure torrent system for namecoin's blockchain; the design of namecoin demands a very large blockchai...

Re: Forum spam - Are there active moderators on this board?

I think the forum needs an upgrade, can we create a namecoin forum git? maybe kinda spruce it up a little, make it easier for admins to monitor. I heard of this great system where users vote up and down replies by points +1 -1, this way you can get some help from the users. I wouldn't mind being an ...
