namecoin-wallet.com uses the same template including the same typos as ppc-wallet.com and dash-wallet.com.
Both have been identified as scam, see

and

is this site trustworthy?

http://namecoin-wallet.com/

is it run by namecoin people as in namecoin.info etc

not going to try until some of the namecoin hero members say ok
thanks

I didn't know it before.  It claims to not have access to the coins on the About page, meaning that the private keys would be handled locally in JavaScript.  On the other hand, it writes about "free" and "instant" payments, which sounds more like a hosted wallet (which fits to the fact that they want your email address on registration).

I would say you should take care and not put more money on it than on some random exchange, if any at all - but maybe someone else knows more details and can correct me here.

Just curious , has the bitcoin core pruning feature -prune been ported to namecoin ? This allow to run nodes with minimal hard disk requirement
We are now stay in sync with Bitcoin. I don't know if anybody has yet tried pruning. With the Namecoin blockchain still being way smaller it is a lower priority and we rather want to go towards SPV.
I agree with phelix that pruning is much less important for Namecoin than for Bitcoin.  It should, however, work "out of the box" the same way as it does for Bitcoin.  (But I've not tried it so far.)

I like this project . One of the few altcoins that make sense and are useful. Sad to see onename and other projects move away from namecoin.
Here is our answer to that: http://blog.namecoin.org/post/130158040415/onenames-blockstore-is-much-less-secure-than
And here the ongoing discussion on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/3mwtw8/onenames_blockstore_is_much_less_secure_than/

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?
No but there is #namecoin-dev on freenode and http://gitter.im/namecoin/lounge  (bridged)

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

https://forum.namecoin.info/
Exactly.

Everybody thinking Namecoin is inactive please just take a look here: http://zmoazeni.github.io/gitspective/#/timeline/namecoin

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

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.
We need to get one or better two of the large Bitcoin pools to merge mine Namecoin. Hopefully the new Namecoin Core, branched off current Bitcoin, will help. IIRC somebody is working on a tutorial on how to set up merged mining.

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

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.

I hope you can at least recognize some of our efforts and achievements. It is easier to stand on the side and point fingers than to actually move things forward.

btw: I would be happy to further discuss the name_op GUI implementation with you. Or the roadmap...  Grin
