FreeBitcoins.com is syncing Namecoin right now and we intend on listing NMC on our "XChange".

We should be rocking and rolling by the end of the week I'd imagine... assuming she syncs decently!

Would this be similar to .crypto and .eth TLD?

Similar yes, except this is much older and fully decentralised (while at least .eth has a backdoor, I don't know much about .crypto).

and concentrate on being just a currency

Because we need another duplicate ?  Its better every project recognises and works towards the utility they want to enable, if it already exists in Bitcoin then you are not likely to especially succeed when so many are already out there following the same tracks hoping the same thing.   Theres a good graph that goes some way to explaining why BTC manages to continue on as the main blockchain despite the alternatives and I believe its related to security quite strongly, having the longest most established chain.   Namecoin does have the years on its side at least so should be more credible then many.

Do you guys have any social media accounts?

Also, what do you do to advertise and market the project?

I invite you to showcase it on the BitcoinRoot project for the general crypto audience to notice your project.

Does the project still works? And can we still get a .bit domain name?
Of course the software works, another thing is that to access a .bit you need to install NCDNS. (before it was even more complex)

See: https://www.namecoin.org/docs/ncdns/

What is happening lately with them? Marketing isn't necessary, companies go into development phases all the time. But what is the best place to find the newest info?

Is there a new update about this coin legend? I see a lack of market interest since two years ago which caused the price and volume of Namcoin to decline. Altcoin competition may be one of the factors also why this coin cannot rise. So I will wait for a new roadmap, especially when Bitcoin will halving soon.

Yes, the project is still very much alive and you can register names through Namecoin Core or Electrum-NMC if you want.

please forgive the noob question, but in this and cryptocoin projects in general:
why are the wallet and explorer separate things? is it too difficult to incorporate an explorer into the client?
In the case of NMC, I would really like to do a search and find all the results, instead of simply checking to see if a namespace is available.
thnx

A block explorer is something quite different at least in terms of UI than a wallet, that's presumably the reason.  They also use some indices (e.g. of all data by address), which are not needed for ordinary operation and would thus increase the storage and computing cost of a full node if included by default.  Also most block explorers run on a website, so that people can use them without a full node, which can be useful.

Note that Namecoin Core does allow you to retrieve essentially all the data a block explorer has through its RPC interface, as well as get a list of all registered names (using name_scan).  There is just not a UI for it.
