Why wouldn't they recommend that?

Because reusing addresses hurts everyone's privacy... it's true to some extent, but it is always a problem when human behavior is the thing being hacked on instead of code.

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.

I think this is a real milestone.

Hey, good news, got a link for those?

Thanks.

Looking for someone to come represent NameCoin at the Bitcoin EU conference (http://theconference.eu) on a panel of alternative currencies. Anyone available to come to Amsterdam September 27-29 and sit on the panel with Charles Lee (coblee) and others?

Namecoin has tons of untapped potential. I'm really happy this is still being actively worked on. Thank you!

nelisky : so I just wanted to check that you're satisfied that your requirements have been fulfilled and tested for the namecoin-qt client, extra functions, open source, no hidden code, etc? If so I've agreed to put 500 nmc for namecoin-qt client code to get in to this state which I will happily pay.

Also I have another 250nmc for this namecoin-qt to get merged back into official namecoin/namecoin github repository and another 250 nmc for it to rebased on top of the v0.8.2 bitcoin-namecoin compatability (i.e. leveldb, etc) mods that khal is currently working on.

Thanks for all your work so far snailbrain, this is excellent Smiley


i wish i could take the credit..
unfortunately the main credit goes to vinced, khal, and all you guys (virtual-master, moa, nelisky, phelix and many others)... AND the coder of Namecoin-qt who has done an excellent job so far, he is very knowledgeable and has worked day and night to get this right (and there is much more to come)

You can give me credit for a Jump Start <3  ---- and I will continue with the dev in collaboration with the community to make sure we continue to support NMC into the foreseeable future.
 
I cannot understand why Namecoin is not the most talked about crypto of ALL..
I'm sure that those people that have given NMC a miss will be disappointed in the future Smiley

I don't know about everyone else.. but I'm excited.

I'm still not 100% sure there's nothing broken, but all the commands implemented work as advertised and I couldn't find any obvious "hidden code". This is no guarantee however, and before I get this into a production environment I'll do a full code review for my own benefit.

Been testing snailbrain version with all the RPC commands added. So far everything is working pretty well, there's just one small issue which I'm not sure relates to snailbrain's updates or not, but is kind of problematic for me.

Regardless, I'm calling the 1000 NMC bounty I offered as fulfilled. Can you provide an address for sending it, snailbrain?

Now, the problem I'm having is (using addresses imported without private key, not sure if that's relevant) when sending a transaction that has the same address in inputs and outputs, for example returning change to the sending address. When I do that the sending address is empty as far as the daemon is concerned even though the transaction is properly formed. The only way to see the unspent output again is by rescanning.

Addr1 10 NMC
 -> Addr2 9 NMC
 -> Addr1 1 NMC

Addr2 has 9 NMC, Addr1 is empty until I restart with -rescan

Addr1 10 NMC
 -> Addr2 9 NMC
 -> Addr3 1 NMC

Addr1 is empty, Addr2 has 9 NMC, Addr3 has 1 NMC as expected.


looking into this.. doesn't seem related to changes we have done.. but still checking..

edit: removed some stuff for now

Hopefully Khal can add to proper repo to get the rest of bounty to fulfil moa's bounty too xXx (or can wait for next update)
The dev has been working extremely hard

Snailbrain could you help out bytecoin? We have a bounty.

the coder is very busy atm .. concentrating on NMC above all.. but you can send a link in PM

Mac binaries (may not work on OS X versions prior to Lion) - thanks to MaxPower for fixes

Indeed, on a SnowLeopard the N logo shows up for half a second, and then it "quits unexpectedly" with an
Exception Type:  EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV)
Exception Codes: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at 0x0000000000000028

That's just a compilation problem, I think. Apparently there must be a makefile for the Mac somewhere?
(I know, SnowLeopard is not relevant anymore. It's just I can't get hold of a Lion/MLion machine at the moment  Cry )


Yeah, unfortunately a lot changed in Lion with the introduction of the LLVM compiler and its libraries, and now it's hard to compile anything on Mountain Lion to be backward-compatible. Getting wallets compiling on a VM running Snow Leopard is definitely on my to-do list.
