i tried from the namecoin directory but i am getting errors telling me its not recognised as a command...

Yeah that's the part that is downloading the block chain and keeping it up to date. to run commands open another command prompt.



((Step 5's  Note : on windows, this message may not appear, and you need to open a new terminal to type other commands.))

im on win 7
i got the program running, but there is just a flashing _

http://dot-bit.org/InstallAndConfigureNamecoin

that guide is pretty straight forward.

Is there a better guide somewhere on how to setup a wallet for namecoin? or how to start with namecoins?

Oh, what a stupid bug. Will fix it soon. Thanks!

Edit: Fixed bad confirmation link in email.

http://dot-bit.org/Main_Page

As far as I know there is no GUI client yet. If there is someone please steer us.

From where to download precompiled namecoin client for windows?, so that address can be generated?

Tried to change my NameCoin address and it keeps saying the confirmation link is invalid.

I put it as the exchange address before reading that it was only a onetime address, and trying to change it to a namecoin generate one  

Edit: Nevermind. THe confirmation link uses the namecoin address as the confirmation number, but the cancel link has the confirmation number in the url. Should probably fix this

cool!

and thanks for costing me an hours sleep. thats what I get for logging in in the middle of the night, seeing this post, and then installing namecoind (without having a clue as to what I was doing mind you, never paid attention to namecoin till now) on my ubuntu box.

heh.

What genius thought that was a good idea?  Would permanent adress have been too difficult.  I have no interest in namecoin so I will be sending 100% of my coins to the exchange.  Because of bitparking's stupid 1 address = 1 transfer system I had to install nameoin client to generate a permanent adress and then use that to transfer it to bitparking's one time addresses.

I mean honestly who thought single use address was a good idea.  It can't simplify things on their end.  It doesn't help the user.  It seems like something a government employee would come up with. ..... ok rant over.

I'm playing with this one backend, actually those "retrying" was probably one restart.

TY SAC,

And slush i'm still getting errors..
And in last 20 mins i got this

first i saw it retrying and then say it cant send..

might be stupid question, but i cant seem to find where you register for a NMC wallet.
I use Mt. gox for bitcoins  but what site u suggest for NMC wallet?

jay

fixed the link.

Hopefully you get everything working before the difficulty drop and start solving blocks 4 times faster for a few days lol. Thanks for adding Merged Mining.

Although there were some rumors on IRC and forum already, I'd like to officially announce support Merged mining for Namecoins on my pool! If you don't know what merged mining or Namecoin is, please read short introduction.

Generally it means higher income for the mining for free; you even don't need to update your miners. Everything you really need is to login to pool profile and fill correct Namecoin address to claim your interest in Namecoin.

I was playing with Namecoins for many weeks, trying to bring bleeding edge features for pool members. I had to solve some scaling issues, because adding new untested features to high availability application is always a risk. Heavy testing of all stuff is also a reason why I didn't finished GUI and accounting system on time, but I'm working on intensively and it will be in production very soon (probably tomorrow, after some sleep).

For the beginning I expect simple proportional rewarding scheme, but there will be two huge benefits for users mining Namecoin on my pool:

a) Pool already mined over 10000 Namecoins (and it is going up in very fast rate, see NMC stats. I'll start giving away those coins to pool's Namecoin miners after few days using their proportional hashpower. First namecoin miners actively mining on pool may expect really big namecoin rewards.

b) I'll be giving mined namecoins only to users who claimed their interest in Namecoin by setting up namecoin wallet on their profile. But pool is already mining for Namecoins with all his power. This effectively leads to situation that if only 1/4 of pool users setup their namecoin account (which is ratio I'm +/- expecting), they'll earn 4x more than is corresponding to their hashpower).

Happy mining!

Slush you are awesome!
Just filled in my NMC address.
My thanks to everyone who made merged mining possible.
 

Hey no problem, i wasn't really worried.  You always seem to be right on top of things like that, which is why I'll probably never leave this pool...

Pool is doing merged mining already, we have around 160 NMC blocks at this time. Unfortunately there were many technical issues to solve, so I didn't finish anything else than mining itself. I'm now working on GUI for entering namecoin wallets and then will need to finish rewarding system. Everything will be very simple at first moment, but it will be soon .

Official announcement will probably come later today.

How is merged mining coming along?
