If this will work as it should, without errors or serious security issues,
and if it is finished before .p2p,
And do these things apply ?
Yes. It doesn't have a nice GUI, but it's up-and-running, and it works.

I've thought about it and I guess 20 BTC really is too low ...
But before calling a new amount, I want to clear the things above.

It's the opposite.
I was pledging one carrot. But to get you that one carrot today, I have to pay as much as for 10000 carrots back then.

Next time I will say I pledge whatever X USD will be in Bitcoins when it is finished ...

I'm pretty sure he can back-out whenever he wants. Its his BTC.

No, u were pledging 1000 BTC and not one carrot. Thats a big difference. And u aint gonna talk urself out of it by talking about carrots.

That's besides the point.

You promised a carrot, not $400 worth of carrots.  And the developers were committing their resources expecting to get the full carrot. How you get hold of that carrot is your problem.

But perhaps this could be seen as exceptional circumstances … I don't want to pick a fight here. Of course it’s totally up to you how much you give; it’s your reputation you are risking in the end.

This should be a lesson to all of us to ensure the credibility of future bounties.

Either reserve the pledged BTC in a place where you will never touch them (like I have done).

Or denominate your pledge in a different currency.

a pledge is a pledge. you cant lower it aftwards, thats not how it works. of cause no one can force you to pay it, but you´ll lose a lot of trust.

If this will work as it should, without errors or serious security issues,
and if it is finished before .p2p,
I pledge 1000 BTC.
EDIT 10.06.2011: 1000 BTC is way to much now. I reduce my pledge to 20 BTC.

What is the point of pledging a fixed amount of BTC if you are just going to arbitrarily reduce it later?

You should have just said "I pledge whatever I feel like giving".
The pledge was half a year old. Bitcoins weren't worth so much and I just wanted to support this project a little.
1000 BTC currently are worth >20000EUR...


It's still that bounty value that has fueled development of the project. We can't stop you from changing your mind, but it's highly uncool to put a carrot out to chase and then when you complete the task, only give half the carrot.

Namecoin is the software and the blockchain.
Dot-BIT is the DNS servers, tools, wiki resources and support forum.

If you donate here, it'll go to the namecoin software author (vince) who promised a least 30% to "other developers and promoters"*.

So, they are pretty much the same, except people are differents :p
I don't want to steal the bitDNS bounty neither, so, donate to vince who initiated all this (i'll track him with my whip to get some BTC :p).

He's around :] ...just put up the Bat Signal!

Ok, I have verified vinced's signature.

Before I send my donation, I'd just like to make sure that the public key on github is trustworthy. Could somebody please confirm this?

Sorry for my extreme paranoia, but I been on this forum for a while and seen a lot of scammers... I just want to make sure it goes to the right person.
