I would like to send a name to some address, but the values (ip, dns) don't need to be changed. Only the owner (address)
I understand that the command is:
namecoind name_update d/<name> <value> <address>
So what do I have to type into <value> to not have it be changed at all?
Maybe:
namecoind name_update d/<name> "" <address>
?
Thanks everybody.

Re: how to transfer name to address without updating values
Why not just type in the old value again? As an aside, I think namecoin-qt makes this easy.georgem wrote:I would like to send a name to some address, but the values (ip, dns) don't need to be changed. Only the owner (address)

Re: how to transfer name to address without updating values
Well ofcourse this is the obvious answer, I should have mentioned that that's NOT what I was looking for.
I am more looking for something like a "null" value.
what happens when I tell namecoind that value is "" ? Does it erase the value?
I assume so.
What is the general way when you want to skip a parameter (but want to use the following parameter) in linux shell?

Re: how to transfer name to address without updating values
I don't think there's a way to skip parameters in a Linux shell. You can give it a blank parameter (""), but that will clear the value from the name, not leave it intact. Is there a reason you can't use namecoind's API to get the existing value before you update it?
Re: how to transfer name to address without updating values
No there is no particular reason.
I was just hoping that an extra easy way exists to make the transfer.
Thanks anyway.
