i am trying to get the client running on windows, but i am running into some problems
I followed steps 1-4 of the guide http://dot-bit.org/InstallAndConfigureNamecoin
After starting Namecoind.exe the dos box displays the following message.
"Bitcoin: Warning: Please check that you computer's data and time are correct. If your clock is wrong bitcoin will not start properly"
i changed my date and time settings to English (US); no effect
-running Windows 7 32 Bit
-Bitcoin client is starting and running without a problem
debug.log is full of messages
-connecting to IRC
-downloading stuff...
the dos box never allows me to add commands, therefore i cannot complete the remaining steps

I'm assuming there's a similar command to send namecoins?
Is there some decent documentation on the commands that go with namecoin/bitcoin on the command line?

Has anyone made an OS X compiled namecoin client so non coders like me can Do some mining?

If there's still a problem with Diablo, you should try poclbm, worked fine for me. It took about 20 minutes to download the blockchain
To see namecoin address and amount on it : ./namecoind listreceivedbyaddress 0 true

Also, how can I view my namecoin address?
June 09, 2011, 06:26:16 PM
Yep, I tried running Diablo against it, and it keeps saying:
[6/9/11 6:25:03 PM] ERROR: Can't connect to Bitcoin: Bitcoin returned error message: Bitcoin is downloading blocks...
But, it is also providing me with a hashing rate, which doesn't seem to make much sense...

I wanted to try this out, but I could use a little help.
I downloaded the Mac Binary, but since it appears to be console only, how can I tell once namecoind has finished downloading the namecoin blockchain?
Run a miner with your server, it will download the blockchain and then tell you when it's done I downloaded the Mac Binary, but since it appears to be console only, how can I tell once namecoind has finished downloading the namecoin blockchain?

what happends when you firstupdate before 12blocks? i lost the 25btc but cant see it in my list, is it lost or will it update when the blocks are done?
Best if you ask that question over here http://dot-bit.org/forum/index.php "Technical Support"

Does this interfere with a bitcoin installation in any way, or is it 100% separate?
They should run separately since they are different ports. There have been reports of people sending bitcoins to namecoin addresses and vice versa and apparently the client did not protest .... so be careful. Extracting namecoins from bitcoin wallets and vice versa would not be for the faint of heart.
So they use different installation directories, different 'appdata' directories, different copies (if any) of libeay32.dll... i.e. Installation and use are 100% separate?
I wasn't sure how much this relied on a bitcoin installation, if at all... I suppose that you could use Namecoins even if you have never installed or used bitcoin?
I guess it's the phrase 'based on Bitcoin' that has me asking all this.
You should be able to run namecoin on a machine that has never had bitcoin on it, yes. Doesn't rely on a bitcoin install at all. (Never done it on windows though).
"Based on" is a bad term, they mean to say it uses the same block chain technology, with an extension to include naming transactions, including but not limited to, domain naming.

I've done this and recovered the coins. If you've sent namecoins to a bitcoin address you can fix it by having the owner of the bitcoin address doing this:1. Stop bitcoind and namecoind
2. Backup the namecoin wallet.dat somewhere
3. Copy the bitcoin wallet.dat into the ~/.namecoin directory, overwiting the existing wallet.dat (make sure you did step 2)
4. start namecoind with: namecoind -rescan
5. Assuming you have the full namecoin blockchain you'll see the coins in the balance. You can then 'sendtoaddress' to a real namecoin address
6. stop namecoind
7. copy your namecoin wallet.dat backup back into ~/.namecoin
8. start namecoind with: namecoind -rescan
If you've sent bitcoin addresses to a namecoin address follow the same steps, swapping namecoin and bitcoin around. Note that it's the recipient of the original send, the owner of the address, that must do these steps. It's probably even better to do all this in a virtual machine with clean wallets so you don't accidentally overwrite your own wallet.
