With Onename switching to Bitcoin, will Namecoin be used at all for OpenBazaar?
Not that I know of. Onename and OpenBazaar both belong to the same VC company. Onename never answered my question about their business model so it smells like they will monetize lookups to their server (for "decentralized" data).

Is there a Namecoin slack channel?

ShapeShift has added a buy/sell feature to the real time market data website CoinCap.io! You can now buy or sell Namecoin straight from the market data website. Learn more about this here: http://bit.ly/1UVFZ7m

Namecoin is not dead. It just did what other scamcoins won't, and moved it's conversation to its own forum.

It is a pity Namecoin did not kick off at all, or all of us can be using dot bit easily

I've had 630 namecoins in a wallet for a couple years now. When I try to send some to a exchange or different wallet I get a error that says Error: Transaction creation failed! Can anyone help me with this.

I hope most people who are interested in namecoin are aware that one mining pool has a majority control over the namecoin network... f2pool now controls 75% of the hashrate of namecoin. The significance of this should be readily apparent.
... this outcome maybe the inevitable result of the economic incentives due to merge-mining. And a lesser degree due to poor code-base maintenance.
Also if we could get more users/supporters and the price would rise this would probably be solved quickly.
My point being an unmaintained, merged-mine coin basically costs more than it is worth, to more and more mining pools until there is only one and then ....
I think I was next person after you to build it ... and build/test it regularly, so far, so good. NB: reducing feature set by removing "Manage Names" from namecore-qt whenever the upgrade officially takes place will reduce demand of nmc.
Mostly I was referring to the fragmented nature of the previous versions 0.3.50 and 0.3.80, scattered packaging and unmergeable code forking branches.
btw: I would be happy to further discuss the name_op GUI implementation with you. Or the roadmap...

Are you sure about that (emphasis mine)? Have you taken a look at Namecoin Core in the last couple of months?

already in talks to migrate some large DNMs over from tor to Bitnet
China is really showing some Coin innovation damn...never seen a wallet like this guys!!!! it has IRC built IN! decentralized.
Decentralized voice and video chat in wallet.
"Bitnet network is an encrypted virtual network independent of the Internet, in which you can set up your own website,This technology allows you even to set up a web site in an internet LAN set up. Bitnet network have their own independent domain name system, P2P network, more secure and transparent."
I think this one has been creeping low on alot of radars and it was partially due to people not understanding what the coin was about. Their new website just went up and looks fresh..

Namecoin is one of the most innovative digital currencies. It's price has been rising steady. I'm pretty sure that it is still very undervalued!
