namecoind name_new d/alreadyregister will charge me ?
If I use
namecoind name_new d/somename
and somename is a name that someone else already registered, I see that it charges me this 0.01 NMC nonetheless?
Why is this the case?
Do I get those NMC back?

Re: namecoind name_new d/alreadyregister will charge me ?
If that name expires in a few hours then you can already issue a name_new (which costs 0.01) and wait. As soon as the name expires you issue the name_firstupdate, and the name is your's. However, if the original owner managed to issue a name_update just in time, your 0.01 are lost.georgem wrote:Why is this the case?
I don't think there is a way to reclaim the 0.01 NMC.georgem wrote:Do I get those NMC back?
Not sure if a raw transaction helps, though.

Personally I think this is a bug that should be fixed in the client.

if you use namecoin-qt, it won't let you (unless done from console window)
I think this is sort of a known problem.. probably will be fixed with some check eventually... in fact i think i remember khal mentioning this a long time ago

Re: namecoind name_new d/alreadyregister will charge me ?
So if I understand this correctly, what we would need is an updated namecoind were a json call to the name_list is being made, looking if the name is already registered and/or not yet expired.snailbrain wrote:if you use namecoin-qt, it won't let you (unless done from console window)

So people will get an error message instead of losing their hard earned NMC.
Is there a bounty for this? I think I could give it a try...

Namecoin needs some big investors to donate big to the namecoin development fund.georgem wrote:sorry, i've been hanging around with the devcoin people too much lately..... they pay for anything you do. Everything is a bounty/share for them.snailbrain wrote:we will sort this in an upcoming update

Would speed things up a lot - probably
Devcoin has 90%? (can't remember) of generated coins to give away.... i think

I think they have a future, as has namecoin.
If you are a namecoin developer you can apply for devcoins. Since namecoin is open source you certainly can apply for devcoins if you create software.
Give it a try.
