I am not being able to find time to do this, and I could really use it.
Anybody wants to join in a bounty? I would say that bounty could be collected for an updated namecoin client based on the latest bitcoin code.
I pledge 1000 NMC to that, if it can be done within the next 2 weeks (should be a "simple" job, and I can provide a diff from namecoin to the bitcoin version it is based upon, as per vinced's repository)

I have started doing it, but haven't been able to dedicate enough time. Basically need to debug why I get no responses from the seed nodes at this point. Is there anyone that can provide me with a quick tl;dr of the differences between bitcoin and namecoin in terms of communication protocol between peers and wallet format?

I think that is a good idea. The newest client would have already the wallet password protection and the other features and to register .bit domains could be used the old wallet.
Many people anyway are only trading with namecoins.
Namecoin is great.
I think too, and it is on the todo list since a long time.Many people anyway are only trading with namecoins.
Namecoin is great.
But nobody has worked on it yet.
Any coder available ? :p

What would rebasing namecoin daemon onto the latest bitcoin encompass? I could really use some of the updated RPC calls, and it feels like it would be very beneficial for everyone to be able to follow bitcoin development closely.
I tried a simple half baked hackish thing with getting the ports changed, the genesis block and the address version to what namecoin has over bitcoin's git head, but I can't get responses from peers (yes, I added namecoin ones using addnode) so I'm assuming there are more changes to the communication protocol.
And would it be possible to do this in two steps? First without dealing with namecoin specific features but only wallet and communications, and adding the NS stuff later on?
Finally... time for a bounty?

Hi, I have a problem. I tried to follow directions at http://dot-bit.org/HowToRegisterAndConfigureBitDomains so i can pre-order my domain name for namecoins. However, here is what happens when i try to preorder a name:
If you do not have any namecoins you can use a webservice I recently created called dotbit.me. The process of registering a domain name is much simplified and you can pay with bitcoins if you wish. One you have a domain name, you can transfer it out to your own namecoin address for free.
Regards,
Tagide

You need to have some namecoins in your wallet otherwise you cannot pay the fees.
It is less then 1 namecoin to reserve a .bit domain for one year.

message encryption using bitcoin/namecoin keys is at reach: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/encryptdecrypt-arbitrary-text-using-bitcoin-keys-145098
Only key export is missing in namecoin.

You might be able to use pywallet for key export/import?

I think pywallet can not work on wallets in use. Otherwise it would be enough to hack something together.

Hi guys. I have been interested in Namecoin for quite some time, but I'm not sure of exactly who are the relative representatives (assuming Coblee would be for Litecoin, Gavin would be for Bitcoin, etc).
Who would I contact about the actual domain namecoin.info for example or a major security flaw or anything like that?
