citation from message 5851 on thread 2040221:

"They'll EDA it to oblivion.

Soon they'll reduce the difficulty to "0" and giving away bcash for free.

Namecoin tasted this "death spiral", bcash is next."

I did not fully understand, can you comment ?

I bought NMC long long time ago, and thought its a great coin.

But, I agree, some more marketing and/or social media would not hurt. When people buy coins they like active devs, even when they work hard on projects too. Quick updates on forums etc.

Keep up the good work guys  Smiley

Hey, This coin seems very promising - I am beginning to buy some up here. Developers, Can you please do some more social marketing to get this coin out to the public? It seems to have such little action going on. If we all share this coin I am sure it will get the necessary traction it deserves! LOVE WHAT YOU GUYS ARE DOING! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!

Most of the coins are going down, cuz the stakeholders just hold.

I'm conscious that some have a job. But like the guy I want to help (who invested 50.000 dollars in Namecoin @ $14 because of a friend), the stakeholder seems to just complain when prices are going down, then be happy when the price is up.

They should give some awareness about the investment they just made.

It's serious tech not stock market.

Now, marketing is key.

I know. I'm into the decentralized autonomous organization Decred.

And we suck at marketing...

I think price is being artifically held up by a very small buy support of someone dumping at the highest price they can get.If flash crash occurs where large bagholders just dumps for whatever BTC they can accumulate we could see price collapse on poloniex.It is worst I have ever seen it to date after some years apart from price going less than .0001 at one stage but I think it can go much lower and remain there for long term going further down as bitcoin rises in price.

what are the relations between namecoin and blockstack?

https://www.namecoin.org/docs/faq/#how-does-namecoin-compare-to-blockstack

Note that that FAQ section is pending an update, but it's mostly still accurate.

it seems that blockstack implements a new internet system based on namecoin ?

Blockstack isn't an Internet system, it's a naming system.  Blockstack seems to be betting that the general public is too uninformed to figure out that their claims of being "an Internet" are bullshit.  Which, to be honest, might be a safe bet.

edit: seems pretty quiet here.

Do you expect our programmers to spend all day on BitcoinTalk?  We're a public benefit technical project, not a company with a PR department.

thank you very much for responses.

I'm not sure how most of it works but could NMC be used as a simple address tool for Lightning Network transactions?

From the looks of things you have to enter a long string to connect to a channel. Would be easier to connect to xyz.bit

You could probably use Namecoin for something like this, but as my familiarity with Lightning is somewhat lacking right now (need to catch up on that topic...) it's possible that there would be issues that I'm unaware of.  How often do new Lightning addresses get created?  Is reuse of Lightning addresses a problem like reuse of P2PKH/P2SH addresses is?

I see no development and marketing.

Right, because I guess releasing Tor naming support isn't development and speaking at ICANN58 isn't marketing...?  /s

Guys, could anybody clear up whether NMC is going to implement SegWit in the future/near future? I've read some info on this subject but still being confused a bit Roll Eyes

In the future: probably, assuming that Bitcoin does.  I'm a huge fan of SegWit, so I'd definitely like to get it activated on Namecoin.

In the near future: not before AAA.

Technical analysis for Namecoin looks very bad https://twitter.com/jindmahi06/status/890263073357004803
Now that Btc-e is gone times ahead will be even more difficult for this coin. I see no development and marketing. Is this coin still alive?
