Oh well, live and learn!  The info should still be correct for 8 months anyway.

Thanks to all of you here who helped revive namecoin this past year.  It's great to see people working on the non-money uses of bitcoin.  Distributed DNS and identity verification is a really awesome thing.  Thanks for your efforts!

I used the command line (Windows cmd to namecoind) and registered an id and there was no warning in the instructions on the dot-bit wiki about the over 519 bytes thing, so the id name is larger than 519 bytes (but less than 1023 bytes), and so when I then tried to perform a name update, I got the "error code -1 could not sign name coin output" error.

Is there anything I can do to update the id, or am I boned and I just need to wait for it to expire?


Unfortunately, you can't do anything.  I got bitten by the same problem once.  However, at least it is planned to fix this bug together with possibly increasing the maximum length at some point in the future when a hard fork is done for some planned protocol changes.  Not sure when this will happen, though.

Does it appear in the task manager/system monitor/whatever equivalent?
It might need some time to start.

BTW. This is the right topic for questions regarding namecoin-qt: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=236375.9999

Expired name will be deleted from the chain?

A name's history is kept forever in the blockchain, just as is done with the history of a chain of Bitcoin transactions.  This is necessary for validation.  However, when a name is expired, implementations are free to remove it from their name-index, so that, e. g., an expired .bit domain may no longer resolve.  Furthermore, when a name is expired, anyone is able to claim it by re-registering the name.  The original private key is not necessary for that; so if you don't want/need a name any longer, feel free to let it expire - but then anyone who is interested in the name may "steal it" after expirey.

How much will I have to download after launching Namecoin these days?
About 1.5GB     Depending on your harddrive (ssd) and connection it can be as 'fast' as two hours.
