Name_Update

[amincd]

This might be a stupid question, but how do I do a name_update to reset the expiration date for my domain? Do I need to include a value?

I'm currently doing:

namecoind name_update d/domain_name '{"map": {"": "1.2.3
.4", "www": "4.3.2.1"}}'

And getting this error:

error: {"code":-1,"message":"name_update <name> <value> [<toaddress>]\nUpdate an
d possibly transfer a name\n"}

Do I need to use a real IP address? I just used the 1.2.3.4 value because I'm only trying to renew the expiration date and don't have an actual IP address to point it to yet.

Also, as I understand it, a name_update has to be done once every 12,000 block to maintain registration over a domain.
Does this occur automatically if I have the namecoind client running, or does it need to be done manually? I assume manually..

If you use windows, you must use another syntax.
Paste your json value here : http://dot-bit.org/tools/domainCheck.php.

You can put what you want in the json value, it'll be accepted.

Currently, is it manual :p

Thanks, I'm using Windows, and the new syntax worked.
