Hey, good news, got a link for those?

Thanks.

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

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.

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 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.

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.

Browser plugins available now for chrome and firefox.

I think this is a real milestone.

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

much appreciated

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

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

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.
