There are a lot of fake namecoins on Twitter (like namecoin_SOL). What should we do?

Can I buy Namecoin in the U.S.?
Please let me know if you know.
You should be able to buy from Coinex but may need a VPN.Please let me know if you know.
And I really wish these devs would stop gaslighting us about why they've made no effort to get this coin listed onto a few more exchanges. Literally every single time I've ever brought this up I've never heard a truly logical explanation. Like I've heard excuses but never any good ones???
I really hope namecoin listing other major exchange.
If coinex suddenly close, namecoin can also disappear..
When I asked Jeremy about this issue, his development team said they were asked for money to list on the exchange.
In my opinion, Namecoin developers are mostly volunteers and lack the funds to list on the exchange....
Namecoin needs a big sponsor!
You can buy them on freiexchange. Freiexchange are good peeples.
freiexchange, coinex has no trading volume, so trading there is risky. That's why binance listing is necessary.

Ideas of utilizing namecoins
Like managing all bank accounts in one application
Integrated wallet address such as
Michael.xmr

What is namechain from ENS?
Is it relate to namecoin?
Is it relate to namecoin?
Nope, its an Ethereum L2

"14 years of research and development and we have basically gone back to Namecoin", LOL
Ha, I think I laughed a bit too much on this one thanks buddy
coming full circle you think they would of at least used ethereum shades of colour. November 12, 2024, 01:40:38 PM
Namecoin requires aggressive marketing and listing on a large exchange.
But there is no marketing team in namecoin, there are only developers.
It would be great to have a big sponsor for Nmc.
Without a few genius developers like Biolizard89, this project would have been completely forgotten.

In late 2022 - early 2023, we took on an intern (Robert) under Tor Project's umbrella to work on SocksTrace, a proxy leak mitigation tool with wide-ranging applicability across the privacy space. We're super excited to report that NLnet's NGI0 Core Fund has just awarded funding for Robert and me to continue development of SocksTrace. Contributing to the broader ecosystem is a core part of Namecoin's activities (we don't just maintain a blockchain).

I think Biggest Problem for Namecoin is Exchange Exposure, since SouthXchange Shut Down!
CoinEX and Freiexchange aren't very popular since SBF crashed Crypto for a Season or 2!
And the other Exchange is some type of Russian Scam Site that doesn't Allow Withdrawing Namecoin!
Can anyone help to get Namecoin listed on binance?
This great project is so under-marketed!

I've been here since 2013. i am not a programmer, but worked in IT.
i wish i could help. from what i see this is the problem, most of us can't.
while Bio has been managing the community,
there has been no leadership, no call to action, or too slow.
And most of us here can't program. We can only give some feedback
is there any kind of roadmap?
i don't see even the 10 month renewal period bug changed. it should be a year...
let alone more advanced features.
i suggest integrate privacy features, maybe optional,
just copy the code of other coins...
that will spark use of NMC and attract attention.
And don't get me started with "that would be a hard-fork..."
hello? have you seen ethereum? there is development and they mean it!

...well that sure was weird. I don't think anyone was expecting the first mention of Namecoin on HBO to be in the context of another ridiculous failed media attempt to dox Satoshi.
On a more substantive note, some people were probably curious what awesome things Rose and I got up to at the Tor Lisbon meeting (since there were no live streams). Happily, Tor Project has uploaded session notes (and my slides). I've added links here: https://www.namecoin.org/2024/07/24/tor-2024-gpn-22-monerokon-4-summary.html
Also, the NGI Assure program (operated in part by NLnet) has successfully concluded. NLnet has produced a very nice review of all the epic stuff that was funded by the program. We're right next to Qubes OS in the banner, what a cool neighbor! https://nlnet.nl/news/2024/20240919-NGI-Assure-Concluded.html

One last point until there is some response.
Nobody is accusing anybody associated with Namecoin of working for any police or spy group.
All that is being pointed out is that there are people who clearly are trying to prevent a decentralized internet from developing.
What are their motives? I ask.
A possibility /
"We have some strategic notion that this kind of thing has to be delayed until.........."
Another possibility /
"Drug dealers and all sorts of similar types would......"
Many other possibilities.
If somebody provides their rationale it is possible I might agree with it and say that yes, we should sabotage a free internet, or I might present an argument that convinces others that maybe a decentralized internet is better.

So developers would prefer not to list the donations over 10,000 Euros so far. That is understandable. Several are listed online, and a few more are implied including ongoing grants, and there are references to other sums, but I'll avoid that subject.
One other odd subject is the strange notion of namecoin developers that it is a good thing to have less people use namecoin.
Many rationales have been presented, none of which withstand scrutiny.

Maybe somebody with dev skills will create a new Namecoin, and focus on making a better internet, instead of preventing it.

The next steps for the project are:
- - building more client side tools, including an easy to use resolver drop in
- - better registration tools
- - public relations
- - marketing to distributions (Debian), ISPs

Can a person ask how much funding namecoin has received?
~
Given that Namecoin activated a softfork in the last month, I don't think we're particularly at risk of never upgrading. More developers/volunteers wouldn't hurt though. (I suppose more funding wouldn't hurt either, though that's harder.)
~
Like many others who tried to improve Namecoin, sqbit deleted his or her posts and profile after you told him or her to move on.
~
That one is 29k euros. As I recall there were other donations. How many were there, if you don't mind?
Is there an effort to prevent namecoin from competing with govt/icann?
Let's start by looking at funding.
Is it okay to ask about funding?
Do you mind listing publicly all donations over 10,000 Euros "the Namecoin community" has received so far?
Is it unreasonable to ask where the money goes?
..................
While I'd love to see better public relations effort for Namecoin, our previous experiments with having technically non-proficient people do marketing on our behalf ended up doing more harm than good. So I don't foresee that happening again. Technically proficient people tend to perceive development as more productive (or just more fun) than marketing, so the technically proficient Namecoin community members haven't done a lot of marketing work. I'd love to hear suggestions on how we could do a better job on this.

To quote from the net: "If upgrades never happen, progress in Bitcoin will stagnate, and developers will migrate to other ecosystems." The same applies to the Namecoin.

Can anyone, who owns a working account at
https://forum.namecoin.org/
post a message there or contact an admin directly, that the namecoin-forum is totally useless for new members?
I created several accounts at forum.namecoin.org in the last few days and it is NOT possible to reply to messages, it is NOT possible to create new threads and it is NOT possible to send PMs!
Moreover, there exists a list of the forum members (Quick links -> Members), which can be ordered with respect to the date a person joined the forum. It seems that everyone, who joined after 2017-11-30, is not able to post messages.
With such a non-working/dysfunctional/broken namecoin-forum, it is not surprising, that the namecoin community seems dead.
