Downloading the blockchain is thrashing the disk so hard I can barely stand it. Really think this option is necessary for the next release or only people with ssd can use it.

+1 for the dbcache patch or LevelDB suggestion.

I'm downloading the blockchain with namecoin-qt 0.3.57 on my windows 7 laptop with regular (5400RPM) hard disk and at this rate it will take me 4+ days to synchronize with the network. Not because downloading blocks is slow but because my HDD is going crazy.

I would be more than happy to help out with that, and contribute. Unfortunately, phpBB is a huge target for SEO backlinks and spam. I've studied SEO for a while, and I am totally against the (without permission) backlink submissions/spam type of SEO.

Some choose to be black hat, and some choose white hat. Most of the spam is bots, but either way..
it must be dealt with manually. I thought PHPBB had spam bot detectors to delete them now?

We currently need some people to moderate the namecoin forum, because there is too much spam and I've not the time to clean the forum regularly.
People interested can postulate here.

I'm hosting a full namecoin node on a raid0, but still this would be nice.

The switch to LevelDB in Bitcoin 0.8 really helped... but I guess it's a lot of work.

Hopefully not too much ... since bitcoin already did it and it is open source Wink

Important Update:

Fixed name_firstupdate crash in GUI console, and another important bug with encrypted wallet. Upgrade highly recommended. Version 3.57

https://github.com/namecoin-qt/namecoin-qt
http://www.mediafire.com/folder/3aa8ukj7v6m5d/Namecoin-qt
(mac bin not updated atm)

Is there a windows makefile? I can't seem to find it.

Yes, makefile for namecoin-qt is in "project"
Makefile for namecoind is in "src".
requires MinGW.

thanks.

To speed up downloading of the blockchain we might consider this patch:
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/964/files dbcache option Maybe even change default to 100MB

Tried it on a machine with a relatively fast hard disk drive (but not my regular machine with ssd). Downloading the blockchain is thrashing the disk so hard I can barely stand it. Really think this option is necessary for the next release or only people with ssd can use it.

I've merged namecoin-qt in the official repository.
It is currently on a separated branch : https://github.com/namecoin/namecoin/commits/namecoin-qt

Code:

#How to build from sources :

git clone https://github.com/namecoin/namecoin
git pull origin namecoin-qt:namecoin-qt
git checkout namecoin-qt

#Make namecoin-qt
cd project; qmake; make

#Make namecoind
cd src; make

If people don't report critical bugs, we will make an official release

So, please, test it.

ps : we will release it as version Namecoin v4.0 as proposed by snailbrain (lots of new rpc commands + the GUI)

Namecoin TLS support - first implementation from biolizard89 Grin

http://dot-bit.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=4285#p4285

I've tested it with a patched nmcontrol (to avoid updating the blockchain for now) and it works !
We don't need untrusted Certificate Authorities anymore :p

With the help of biolizard89, we have discovered that the support of SNI (several certificates on 1 ip) is currently broken in the Convergence plugin.
But it is really really promising

Good work biolizard89

Tried namecoin-qt 3.56. The basic features seems to work. I will try the 3.57 also.
So far is a good work and a great step forward in the Namecoin history.
Thank you snailbrain.
Is it intended to include the Domain registration features also or there will be two branches ?

I think it will include eventually from the sneak preview. Recall you can go to the debug window (Help --> Debug window) and console tab opens up when you can see all the rpc calls ... type help ..

Bounty #2:

Based on snailbrain's latest namecoin-qt I have the following problem:
- manually create and submit a tx to send full balance of addr1
-> part to addr2
-> part back to addr1 (think change back to sending address)
- The transaction is sent correctly but the wallet is updated only for the debit of addr1 and credit of addr2. For some reason the credit of addr1 is ignored, even when the the tx is included in a block
- restarting namecoind with -rescan gets that balance back

I need the above to work as in bitcoin, i.e. when sending to the address the output belongs to, both debit and credit to that address get processed by the wallet.

I have 1 BTC up for grabs for that fix, and I'll also try to fix it myself time permitting.

Yesterday I asked for pointers on #bitcoin-dev and instead of tech advice I got a "you shouldn't do that"... oh well.

maybe try the update..

testing "seemed" to show the correct amounts?

Hey, good news, got a link for those?

Thanks.

Saw it on reddit

http://www.reddit.com/r/Namecoin/comments/1g2tcs/the_bit_extensions_are_now_live_for_chrome_and/

http://namecoin.com

Good work, but who is the creator ? Is it opensource ?

For what I've seen, it uses a proxy server (my proxy, listed here : https://dot-bit.org/How_To_Browse_Bit_Domains#List_of_App_proxies).
You can do the same with foxyproxy for example : https://dot-bit.org/How_To_Configure_Foxyproxy

I would like to see it evolve to allow the user to chose a local proxy (to trust nobody, but the blockchain :p), so, itf it could be open sourced it would be cool :p

+1
Great work.

Had a look at it today, seems like its well done but couldn't get it working as intended, and struggled to find any documentation. For my tuppence worth,... It should be open sourced. If these guys can bring one click .bit registration to the masses, keeping the proprietary software is not necessary, open source it and build from a trusted first mover advantage.

Keep up the good work guys your on the right path.

The foxyproxy is a 2 click solution at it works without problems. ( an old but still very good description Khal)
This add-on is a 1 click solution but it doesn't work. (at least by me mozilla/google chrome - none of them after installed and restarted)
I will look why doesn't work.

I presume snailbrain is the best fit for fixing the bug. However, if you give me a reasonable time-frame (say 48h) without risk of anyone snatching the bounty away while I work on it, I can give it a try. But as said, it is probably easiest if snailbrain claims the bounty.

Isn't there a way to fix that without reusing an address?

Huh? The problem only exists when reusing the address. My workflow depends on that, and changing the workflow is a lot of work. At any rate, this issue is a bug and should be fixed.
