I created a Slack group if anyone is interested in joining and making discussion: namecoin-group.slack.com

[email protected] send me an invite!

Guys IRC is not good. Slack keeps record of the conversations...

I haven't had much time to look cuz I'm already busy with Decred. But I've some free time and will be glad to help growing the namecoin community. Nobody is expecting Namecoin to rally...

Some trader views on Namecoin

"We cannot compare namecoin with decred. Decred is magnitudes better in its voting system and has a really active developing team as opposed to Namecoin. I can see Namecoin rally in about 2-3 months, but nothing crazy like Decred, unless I am missing something in this puzzle..."

Can someone help me to get along with a dev in the next 24 hours?

You posted some links but it seems you didn't spend much time at any of them:
https://namecoin.org/resources/chat/

If you not a dev yourself with something tangible to contribute then you may be just wasting your & their time.

He does not have to be a dev. He has offered to start a 'marketing' aspect of Namecoin, which obviously it doesn't have. If he has ideas that popularize the idea of decentralizing the internet, that is good.

Only problem some people might have is that 'marketing' often means hyping and pushing. Namecoin offers something real, not too many people know about it. So long as somebody isn't mixing it with cocaine or hiring a televangelist to promote it, publicity is good.

He just hasn't said what his ideas or plans might be, but whatever they are, they are more than what most of us are doing, and that's something.

Is there even a community behind Namecoin??? Or you all hide on IRC?

Perhaps you are starting to realize that talk of "marketing" is very premature.

When Namecoin will hit $10 you will thank me for this proposal Wink

What proposal are you offering?

Is it a secret?

If you have something to say or some idea that requires more people then why not say what your idea is?

Open Source works.

Ok I've been through Namecoin. I see that there are more improvements needed. But using the word "marketing", frankly speaking, is all the bag holders need to hear since they lost plenty of money.

I've got free time and energy.

I'm here! Any developers around???

Yes ok whatever new or another...

All coins need marketing... So let's do it!

It's been +48h that I'd like to reach the devs. Do I've to download an app for that???

Could someone talk to the responsible, and get to me on this thread?

Let's get all of us on Slack!

Why don't you just message domob or one of them? Send them a pm? If you have something specific you want to do then you can mention it here too.

You know, a lot of things do not trequire gang effort. For 'marketing' do you want somebody to give you money to 'market' it? If you have means you can make another Namecoin website with updated info and promote it, or put ads that lead to one of the already existing sites.

Agree that awareness of the importance of free speech and how Namecoin can figure in that is important. But 'marketing' is a harsh term, this isn't a streetwhore like ethereum, it's a coin started in the way cryptocurrency should start.

I started a new thread here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1887695.new#new

You don't start a "new" thread for a coin like Namecoin. Cheesy

You start "another" thread/

Namecoin preceded Litecoin, and aside from bitcoin it probably had the most input from 'Satoshi Nakamota' of any coin.

Also, this coin does not need 'marketing' in the sense of 'selling' it, the problem is that people don't know about it so it needs awareness built. If it really is able to build a censorship free internet that anybody can afford, that is enough.

For people who support censorship, unfortunately that includes a lot of people, some discussion has to be made to help them be less dangerous to people who believe in liberty. Some of their arguments are valid, e.g. people will sell drugs, abuse children, hire hitmen etc, but those things happen already and the solution is not to silence anybody.

New developers should add more features to Namecoin's network.

A few of 'Satoshi's' last quotes regarded what turned into Namecoin

Quote from: satoshi on December 11, 2010, 08:08:30 AM

@dtvan: all 3 excellent points.
1) IP records don't need to be in the chain, just do registrar function not DNS. And CA problem solved, neat.
2) Pick one TLD, .web +1.
3) Expiration and significant renewal costs, very important.

Quote from: joe on December 11, 2010, 05:53:58 AM

However, thinking more about this now I support inclusion of additional coinbases / tracking systems in the main network. The reason for doing this is so as not to water down CPU power into multiple networks. We want one strong network, so the network should be versatile.

Avoiding CPU power fragmentation is no longer a reason. Independent networks/chains can share CPU power without sharing much else. See: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.28696 and https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.28715

Quote from: Wikipedia link=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Namecoin

In September 2010 a discussion was started in the Bitcointalk forum about a hypothetical system called BitDNS and generalizing bitcoin, based on a talk at IRC at 14 November 2010. Gavin Andresen and Satoshi Nakamoto joined the discussion in the Bitcointalk forum and supported the idea of BitDNS. A reward for implementing BitDNS was announced at the Bitcointalk forum in December 2010. Soon a developer decided to implement this idea to earn this reward. On April 18, 2011 Namecoin was introduced by Vinced (Rumored to be Vincent Durham) as a multipurpose and distributed naming system based on bitcoin. It was inspired by the BitDNS discussion on the Bitcointalk forum. WikiLeaks mentioned the project via Twitter in June 2011.

Is it required to download the Namecoin blockchain to resolve .bit addresses? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.bit

If there is some portal that easily connects .bit to other internets?
