Topic: [announce] Namecoin - a distributed naming system based on Bitcoin (Read 594417 times)

Keep an eye out, Mr. Daniel R. Treccia.

I know you well, and I know you're involved in Xaya, so you should brace yourself for the worst!

I'm coming for you, I'm going to kick you in the lungs, and I'm going to take everything you've ever loved.

The wisest move would be to stay out of the Namecoin discussion, though I doubt you understand this because you have already been banned from Twitter several times.
Do I need to remind you why?

I understand Daniel Kraft, the "chief Namecoin scientist," directed you here.

Let me say it again for you:
Namecoin has nothing to do with Xaya or charlatans like you and Daniel Kraft.

If your comment isn't about Namecoin, its criminal or fake "developers," "engineers," or "scientists," you should just fill your mouth with shit and wonder about the stars.

I am not motivated by money; I am solely motivated by Namecoin, which I will fiercely defend.

Namecoin is extremely valuable to me, and I will not let it be hijacked or destroyed by criminals or con artists.

If your intentions toward Namecoin are even half as sincere as mine, you won't have to worry about my violent reaction.

Love how much time you just wasted there to not change my descisions whatsoever.

A Xaya troll has appeared.
At the very least, change your signature the next time you visit Namecoin and promote Daniel Kraft's scam.

Daniel Kraft's claim to be a "chief Namecoin scientist," whatever that means, amuses me.  Hilarious.

I wonder how merging auxpow time to time from upstream Bitcoin makes anyone a "scientist".


A little digging reveals that the so-called "Xaya" is Autonomous Worlds Ltd, was founded in Malta, not Switzerland, where Daniel Kraft claims to live.  
Autonomous Worlds Ltd is registered at the address Office 2, Suite 2, The Penthouse, Capital Business Centre, Entrance C, Triq Taz-Zwejt, San Gwann Sgn 3000.

In the Paradise Papers investigation, the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists exposed the same address used by Daniel Kraft for his scam.  
Offshore Leak: https://offshoreleaks.icij.org/nodes/58101666

Obviously, I consider both the phony "chief Namecoin scientist" Daniel Kraft and realdantreccia to be con artists.  
The fact that they are linked to an investigation by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists proves unequivocally that these are international criminals using Malta to launder money.

I once again request that Daniel Kraft immediately transfer the namecoin.org domain and all other assets to me.
Namecoin should not be managed by criminals like him in any way.

Update:
Autonomous Worlds Ltd changed addresses several times; each address, including the most recent, is also listed in the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists' Paradise Papers investigation.

At this point, I believe it is in the public interest to publish Daniel Kraft's home address and passport number.

q.e.d.

It's clear that with every new development there are coming the envious, even if the latter can do nothing but spread FUD. While they have been banned from all other communities, BitcoinTalk is their last resort where they can keep trolling, that's nothing new at all.

You shouldn't assume I didn't see your FUD a few weeks ago, but everyone embarrasses themselves as best they can! All I can say in response is that you haven't contributed anything to the Namecoin project so far - other than sending merits here and spreading FUD. So on topic, Satoshi is not vinced. Before you keep spreading FUD, you should start reading at the initial post of this thread: Namecoin is a naming system based on bitcoin with a few modifications.  It is inspired by the bitdns discussion. Namecoin wasn't created out of thin air, and undoubtedly Satoshi's contributions were the most important, as cited especially with regard to the proposal of merged mining. Last but not least, just for the readers, it should be noted that Namecoin is a fork of Bitcoin, and the original additional code that made Namecoin from Bitcoin code were just an additional 400 lines of code to define the name operations. "Namecoin", by the way, was just one of the names for the project, and there were other synonyms for the same project in parallel, but I won't go into details here.

I don't care how others are referring to me, but we already had this funny discussion on Twitter/Discord/Telegram. Some contributors joined the Namecoin project in 2015 and you probably wouldn't complain if they were referred to as "OGs", but like I said, I don't care. I joined in July 2018, as you can see on the blockchain. From then until now I have registered many assets as a registrar on behalf of other community members, on May 19, 2019 I opened a huge to-do list on GitHub, and they are still working on the list.

Comments like this have a good reason, and as a side note, unlike some other contributors, I haven't been begging for funds out of the pots of the European Commission, while I would squat silently on a huge Handshake airdrop worth about $ 2 million USD, dedicated to the development of Namecoin, laundered against Bitcoin in the meantime. As declared in the NFT auction notifications, the proceeds from the auctions will be taken to fund the development and maintenance of the new Namecoin DNS apps, which work on the mainstream browsers for desktop and mobile devices in HTTPS mode. Something what the Namecoin community haven't ever seen running until today.

For the readers, it's worth mentioning that in all projects there are always some troublemakers who did not contribute the slightest to the code or the community. As one can read, the new specifications follow repeated and strong requests from the Namecoin community. Means, discussions and votes were held in several groups, channels and private chats over a long time. And as I said already, I'm keeping the new apps compatible with all versions of the Namecoin software wallets, thus I mentioned the introduction of new pTLDs only once as a side note in a similar "issue" on Github. During the internal discussions, I've noticed repeatedly that even well-known members of BitcoinTalk have never even heard of Namecoin, and it's no wonder, since the project has been in deep sleep for a decade. But every BitcoinTalk member should know that even Satoshi Nakamoto contributed on this project, especially he proposed merged mining, what is today the miners' standard, see The Crypto Bible for details. I'm happy to bring this project finally to life!

In the occupancy of the .bit pTLD by other projects I see no problem at all, see my previous posts Namecoin HTTPS DNS Resolver and Failed trademark applications for TLDs.

I wouldn't say so. It's much more the case that the community is waiting for the release of the new Namecoin DNS apps.

It's not the case that someone just can come around with a GitHub fork and get all mining farms on board. I don't even see the need to change anything in the consensus rules at the moment. While the main wallets Core and Electrum could still be unlocked in terms of many hidden features, this would mainly affect usability. However, since all additional tabs and features (of both Namecoin and Bitcoin) de facto access the wallet from the outside via the RPC commands and are thus only graphically integrated, I prefer to offer additional apps as external apps to maintain compatibility with older and current versions.

Btw, for the readers, from the .bit Discord community - there are several German speaking Namecoin contributors, and for sure domob is not the BM-man:

Before you ask about me and our (not "my") community, you should answer the question about who you think from the Namecoin community would like to collaborate with you. I know the (correct) answer, so this would be a rhetorical question. So far, you have been regularly banned the past years from all communities with your puppet accounts. You had many chances, but this time it was the last!

Everyone knows already, that you're talking about yourself in pluralis majestatis as "the community" and that you want to take over the entire Namecoin project!

How generous of you to grant Daniel Kraft, the main coder of the Namecoin Core wallet, access to his own GitHub repository for an entire year!

Come on, "the community" is waiting for your next reply, we know, that you are the-last-word-guy! Each post must include at least one item out of your standard dictionary "fake", "scumbag" and "con artist".

Which community? The 14 dead accounts in J.R.'s IRC channels? Or the 12 members, which are currently online in his Subreddit? Oh no, I got it, you are the community! Please more of this projections!

Really?



Go ahead!

At some point this cyberstalker should get confused from switching the sides over and over again, depending on whether it fits into his current psycho game or not. (Wayback) 

What Daniel said some time ago most likely referred to code contributions in their GitHub repository, although I already presented them a huge to-do list about four years ago, and they're still working on the issues until today. And yes, our main communities verified via the Web3 ID namecoin.nmc are growing continuously, and there will be many more Namecoin users soon, thanks to my hard work over the last four years. These members were invited by other crypto communities, and it seems that they are interested in Namecoin, otherwise they would leave the groups. You won't get admin rights, humanrightsfoundation, however much FUD you spread.

This verification was created on-chain on my request according to section Verifying ownership, because an offer of $ 750k USD was made over a broker in one of the Discord channels at this time. The offer was declined btw. Tracing the transaction chains doesn't necessarily prove the legal ownership, as the owner of the assigned cryptographic token may also act as registrar on behalf of a third party. No one would call a registrar a squatter btw. Claiming the Handshake name also doesn't mean automatically, that Daniel took something from the Handshake airdrop (what he didn't). He was responsible for the claim as he maintains the DNS settings of the website namecoin.org, even though J.R. uses that domain for his personal blog, at best with a few guest posts. It should be noted that all these positions mentioned in the team section are of course purely fantasy positions, as Namecoin is a pure community project and not backed by any company or legal entity. This should be considered as a kinda nice and "epic" relic of the pioneers of Namecoin who were simply proud of their project.

Regardless, I have to mention that Daniel Kraft aka domob is for sure one of the most trusted and most competent people in the Namecoin project, and he always tries to keep out of any fights in a very diplomatic way. Even in case he put the domain d/bitcoin up for sale, which is the first ever registered blockchain domain ever, he definitely would deserve the proceeds. Independent from the fact, that any domain holders who invested in Namecoin NFTs deserve their profit. In fact, it is essential for the Namecoin ecosystem that the big profits are not made through Namecoin as a cryptocurrency, but through its NFTs, which are clearly the oldest in the crypto universe. Also I consider it an advantage that the trading of NFTs takes place in Ethereum. Even though atomic trades are clearly preferable within the Namecoin ecosystem and are clearly the safest way to trade, these trades would lack liquidity on exchanges. Also it would have massive impact on the price chart of NMC. But the lower the prices for domain registration and management, the more attractive the project for the Namecoin community, especially domain holders. I'm not a fan of some contributors to the GitHub repository, to put it very politely and as everyone already knows, but the statement that the classification of the d/ prefix as the default domain record would have been done for financial interests seems a little bit constructed.

Maybe, J.R. aka biolizard89 finds this very scary, our users not. This will be relevant at first anyway, once I released the new Namecoin apps. In the end, the entire user interface of the Namecoin Core wallet is just a bundle of external apps, which are accessing the wallet via RPC commands, so they're only graphically integrated via the qt-framework. Same goes for the Bitcoin Core wallet btw. Wouldn't be a problem at all to provide a customized external name-management app anytime.

Can somebody explain clearly why exchanges avoid Namecoin?

What is its disease?

What I am aware of /
1) A lot of coins in the Eastern bloc China/Russia
2) Big Vern may have taken a part of the Cryptsy NMC stash when he went to his girlfriend in China
3) The Russian who supposedly tried to interfere to get Trump elected owned a massive stash

Distribution is not that different from btc.

The main difference is that NMC whales are less sneaky about spreading their stash. For example
Here are 11 bitcoin wallets, each with 8,022.02559302 btc, each last active May 7 2022. Obviously one mega whale not 11.

In fact, it's likely that the top 1,000 bitcoin addresses belong to fewer than 100 people or companies. Maybe fewer than 30.

That's not even taking into account that Satoshi designed emission so that he himself could get perhaps 750,000 of the 21m BTC total coin supply, something that did not happen to such an extreme with NMC.

Can anybody explain?

Namecoin price down a fair bit eh?  I took a bit of a slide on that, it seems.

At the bottom of your post it says

"Don't donate me: donate to nmc re-base development project."

The link goes to

https://www.bountysource.com/teams/namecoin/issues

You seem to have a great idea to use bounties to let people know about nmc but your link is totally not working.

edit to add
Maybe a public figure like biolizard or domob or snailbrain would agree to handle bounties.
The one coin that could easily overtake bitcoin in today's political climate would be a combination of nmc and huc but with the huc aspect more like numerai https://numer.ai/

Nmr is focused on profiting a hedge fund, but if you let users decide to determine their own variables you would have a huc like hybrid which could
a) create a private internet
b) with its own economy
c) which could be used to develop sciences/technologies

the status is that no one here has bothered to apply for listing in any exchange since ancient times.
Just getting into (any exchange) would be huge, but seems that nowadays any exchange is demanding that the "official" developers apply, (and pay) something they are not doing it.

the status is that this is coin has been the grandmother of the pump and dump and it have leave more people reeling with loses than we can count. most "investors" have been burned because of the "no marketing" policy.

the status is that the actual users of the coin don't care about the price because hey, cheap domains, but this people were mostly Assange and some domainsquatter guy. (so we got 2 users and one is in jail...)

the status is that this could be one of the greatest coins but have fallen behind because it's just following bitcoin, only some hackers (the owner of btc-e and wex) have (had) big stash of the coin and doesn't seem innovative, because they didn't bother to fund any development.

 but time will tell. and one of this days i'm gonna drop a couple btcs and we will 10x but first we gotta get into the big exchanges or at least the no KYC ones like bitget.

because without being able to use a coin to move funds between exchanges there is really no use case for it. even doge can be used for that.!

Anybody can decide for themselves on those various questions.

On a separate issue, suppose I belong to a group which wants to make its own private internet / intranet and economy.

Is there an easy way for us to do that, or do we need to hire a coder to create a clone or fork of Namecoin?

Can it be done for free by people who are not interested in programming?
