is this really a healthy coin, because there are so many in this decade with the launch of coins that are not healthy and also of poor quality

NLnet Foundation and European Commission have awarded 50k EUR to Namecoin developers Yanmaani and Ahmed Bodiwala for Namecoin Core and Electrum-NMC development, as part of the Next Generation Internet Zero: Search and Discovery Fund.  Huge thanks to the awesome people at NLnet and European Commission!  https://www.namecoin.org/2021/04/30/funding-from-nlnet.html

Also, for those of you accessing Namecoin's IRC channels via Freenode, please be advised that Freenode is currently undergoing a hostile takeover by London Trust Media Holdings.  We recommend that you abandon the Freenode ship immediately and switch to Hackint.  https://www.namecoin.org/2021/05/19/freenode-hostile-takeover.html

London Trust Media = Private Internet Access?

I remember when they sponsored these forums many moons ago.

Yep.  Specifically Andrew "rasengan" Lee.  (There seems to be some dispute over whether London Trust Media Holdings was involved in Andrew's takeover of Freenode; looks like Andrew may have sold some companies to an Israeli malware company prior to this takeover.)  The same Andrew "rasengan" Lee who was an active participant in scamming Alexandra Elbakyan earlier this year.  I hope he's not expecting his investment in Handshake (which donated an airdrop to us) to induce us to cover for him on this; not gonna happen.  (Note: this is not the same Andrew Lee who works for Purse.io and who was a Handshake developer; that Andrew Lee is actually a quite nice guy AFAICT.)

Meanwhile, we've released ncdns v0.2.  This release features layer-2 TLS, and major overhauls to the build system.  https://www.namecoin.org/2021/06/28/ncdns-v0.2-released.html

Also, our awesome friends at XMR.RU translated our 36C3 talks into Russian.  They also provided English transcripts.  https://www.namecoin.org/2020/01/11/36c3-summary.html

Allegedly or not if this starts a snowball effect in the near future, then better get those cheap Namecoins while you can because ohh baby

The many that complained how they wished they bought bitcoin at a dollar, Well here is your second chance..

Another trustworthy exchange for Namecoin is https://freiexchange.com. I use it for years without issues. The only drawback is no disposable deposit adresses.

you guys should take your grudges everywhere else instead of staining an epic thread.

could everyone focus for a second on the topic at hand, namely, Namecoin

and discuss how the chinese are even copying the .bit domain extension when they launched their own token naming service... ---> https://twitter.com/RBCHI/status/1402230670915604486

shouldn't we, when they finish, just copy their features or something.?

NMC should have at least pretty interfaces for normal people to be able to use it...

The ironic thing is if namecoin was only a regular shitcoin instead of a utility coin it would probably be priced at about 1000 dollars with muppets knocking each other over to get in to "invest" while elon tweets shit about it being the next big thang. Crypto market is the scammiest most brain drained swamp on the face of this god forsaken earth and deserves to crash and burn without any mercy shown to it.

Today Namecoin celebrates its 10th anniversary! On Sunday, April 17, 2011 at 00:26:41 (GMT/UTC), the Genesis block (block 0) was generated - and the very first fork of Bitcoin and thus the world's first alternative cryptocurrency was born! Namecoin, along with Bitcoin, was and is primarily intended as an alternative Domain Name System (DNS) for websites, with the goal of becoming independent of regular ICANN domains with Top Level Domains (TLD) such as .com, .net or .org.

As a key/value store, Namecoin allows any record on the blockchain such as identities and whatever data up to a size of 255 bytes for the key (255 ASCII characters such as numbers and letters, i.e. the name of the record like a domain name) and additional 520 bytes for the value (520 ASCII characters, e.g. the DNS configuration of a domain). So in total a key/value pair can contain 775 bytes or 775 ASCII characters (see record with TxID b5a1d922cb66299ced3856b8b112201f798b81dee31a4483e935f43866bb5554 as an example).

Today, Saturday, April 17, 2021 at 00:30:02 (GMT/UTC) we mined block 554960. So including the Genesis block, we got 554,961 confirmations of block 0. During these 10 years, a total of 5,584,201 TxIDs (transactions) were written to the blockchain, including the so-called Coinbase transactions for newly mined blocks that credit the miner's wallet with the reward. Subtracting the Coinbase transactions, 5,029,240 TxIDs were issued, so 5 million transactions for transferring coins and creating and updating names. On average, these are 10 TxIDs per block including the Coinbase transactions (or 9 TxIDs per block excluding the Coinbase transactions) and 152 blocks per day over the last 10 years.





happy birthday !

Looks like someone trying to load up on Coinex. Hmmm...

I wonder if any of the bigger exchanges plan to pick up this coin again? Appears that most of the volume is strictly on Coinex and AltCoinTrader. Would love to see NMC get the attention that it deserves considering it is still an active project and all.

I've been kinda out of the loop with things ever since BTC-e/Wex went down but have tried to keep my eye on this coin. The idea behind it is solid and it's got a long history as well as still being an active project. Curious why it's not traded on more platforms? Only place that seems to have much volume right now is Coinex.

Would be nice to try and get some hype going. Not so much for the price action (though I would like that too lol) but more because with all the cancel culture crap and deplatforming etc the concept of decentralized DNS couldn't be more appealing.

Namecoin Core 0.21.0.1 and ncdns v0.1.2 are released.  Among other things, the new Namecoin Core release features UX and security/privacy improvements to the RPC API; the new ncdns release fixes compatibility with ASLR/PIE on Windows 10 and paves the way for scalability improvements in Namecoin's TLS support.
