Just wanted to say that I think namecoins are ingenious and cudos. Once *.bit is accepted as a standard domain, namecoins being the only way to register a .bit domain should take off even better than bitcoins I would wager. It doesn't require hundreds of thousands of vendors/companies to start accepting them, it simply requires that if you want your .bit domain that you spend namecoins. Great idea!
and yes I realize that this is I believe my first post, but I'm not trying to hype them at all. Just wanted to let the "creator" </bow> know that the idea was monumental imo ;o)
