Namecoin : new hosting planned

[khal]

It asks me to pay German VAT

So I suggest you proceed. I assume you can pay this from the dot-bit.org donations?

Haha, sad...
I'll register today.

Looks like a quite beefy server, maybe we can run the public Namecoin/NMControl API on it, too.

Sure, there will be some VM :p

Server has been paid, waiting for delivery (10 days indicated).

Price : 101.99€
- server : 35€
- "install" : 49.99€
- VAT : 17€

edit : 0.24558 BTC on 21/02

I would like to try experiment with donations to increase community engagement.

Coinbase has a recurring "subscription" mechanism that you can setup here.



It requires that the donor have a Coinbase account. We could also try to set a yearly goal using Bitcoin Chipin.



I would like to experiment with both. Does someone want to setup an account or do you want me to?

funds to donations ?

is there anyway to set up a direct debit - monthly donation

[khal]

Not yet, but we are on it : https://dot-bit.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1510
For BTC/NMC, you can use this : https://dot-bit.org/Namecoin_DNS:Site_support

The forum has been migrated to the new host : http://forum.namecoin.info.

So namecoin.info is the new domain and will always be used instead of dot-bit.org? As http://dot-bit.org/forum/ redirects to http://forum.namecoin.info/ then I think all links should be updated to it. Like those in http://namecoin.info/ (eg. Forum link and others). I think I've mostly seen dot-bit.org everywhere.

Yep, all links need to be updated indeed. I'll make a pull request.

I've migrated other services on the new server :
- http://explorer.namecoin.info
- http://testnet.explorer.namecoin.info

I've also activated the backup system of proxmox on all VM. I'll check the result in some days.

http://explorer.bit and http://testnet.explorer.bit have just been updated too.

ps : fingerprint added on explorer.bit
