History of Namecoin

Post by phelix »

Wiki entry about Namecoin history?

This is the first thread about Namecoin I am aware of: https://bitcointalk.org/?topic=1790.0

These logs are missing unfortunately:

Note that Aaron Swartz' post is dated a little later: http://www.aaronsw.com/weblog/squarezooko

Yeah, when I'm explaining Namecoin history I usually say that Appamatto and Aaroz Swartz proposed similar things independently -- as far as I can tell Aaron was unaware of the BitDNS discussion. We definitely should have a history page... any volunteers?

Yes I def think there should be a history of NMC on the wiki and that it should show that Satoshi was the first to point out merge mining and bitdns before NMC was even created. Charlie Lee seems to be very uneducated on the means of where NMC came from and at the last Bitcoin meetup was bashing NMC trying to say that they had to resort to merge mining because they couldn't compete with Bitcoin. After I heard this it came clear to me that Charlee lee is no different then any other Scam Coin creator out there just trying to "sell" his coin to people.

I think the history idea is great. The logs are archived at archive.org -

don't forget (although is in the thread you linked)

Satoshi proposed merged mining and separate chains

That's a great find!

23:32 appamatto I had an idea for a bitcoin-like DNS system. Basically, each generating block allows you to define a new name, and transactions are remappings of the names to ip addresses

00:01 theymos Why not just generate "domain credits" that allow you to generate a domain, and then transfer those around, too?

Suggestion for "length-based cost" of domains from there:
1char/10,000 2char/1,000 3char/500 4char/200 5char/100 6+char/50btc
Now that would be nice prices, no? :D
