This shit is so confusing.
Had an associate tell me that DNS queries would double in time with this system. I do not have enough Bitcoin to invest, but will buy up one name when I am able to like next week. I will try and look into these threads more now that I kind of grasp what is going on. The way this is named and talked about, it seems like just a competition to Bitcoin itself.

I'll take 500, PM me.
wondering if you still have volume pricing... 
Is something like namecoins a possible solution to this recent spate of DHS domain name seizures?
Yes.

What is the point of namecoins? Is there really a demand for .bit domain names, or is this just the 'bronze' version of bitcoin?
Looks like the difficulty is really taking off! I wonder if that has anything to do with bitcoin's difficulty..?
Nah, mostly just speculative capacity I'd guess ... people don't believe me when I say that difficulty can drive price but watch this space.

updated prices to reflect difficulty increase.
I want to buy 10'000 namecoins, make me an offer

Watching
prices lowered again. smells like a price war :p
prices lowered to 250 namecoins for 1 btc.
I'll buy some more from you since you were my original choice. My BTC is reserved for someone else right now, but after I get his product and pay him, I'll buy some more bitcoins and send them over to you.
ok, contact me when you have the btc My BTC is reserved for someone else right now, but after I get his product and pay him, I'll buy some more bitcoins and send them over to you.

YOU WANT A PRICE WAR? IT'S ON!
prices lowered, again, again.
I'm not completely sure what this is, but it sounds like I can use these to get domain names? If so, I've got ฿1 for you.
EDIT:
Actually, I've got ฿5 for you
EDIT:
Found another seller, sorry.

I think I get the same dll error, your kit running XP too?
I will take you up on your offer as soon as I can manage to run the Namecoin software on Windows without a .dll error. I am actively working on fixing that so... >_>
I'm not getting any .dll errors. use this binary: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2882613/Namecoin/namecoind.exe , it has the dependencies statically linked, so no dll errors! 
Alright, so running namecoind.exe in the same folder as %appdata%\bitcoin seems to let it run without errors at least, though that's a minor continuation of progress. Trying to make this work under Windows but the cross-platform issues are a bit difficult.
EDIT: yes, WinXP since my Vista laptop died beyond explanation. It's probably as simple as running regsvr32.exe on the appropriate DLL file.

Where do you get the the lookup software?
Also is there a mining client for windows?

has the .bit TLD been created yet or has this not taken off already?
I can access namecoin sites with a namecoin DNS.
bluishcoder.bit works!

Does the client work on Windows?
Can I mine "a lot" per day still?

So I could theoretically register 75 domains? Could you give a human readable description?
Namecoin works like bitcoin. Instead of mining bitcoins you mine namecoins. Namecoin adds some new commands to register, change the setting of, and list domains. It costs around 50 namecoins to buy a domain. Once bought you can point it to an IP address. You need to run special programs to make your software use these domains but once you do you can then look them up under the '.bit' domain. For example, someone bought 'tester' for about 50 namecoins. Now, with the lookup software installed, I can got to http://tester.bit in my browser and it works.

lowered the price!
what's a name coin, I looked it up but I still don't get it.
I would also like an explanation or a link to one, I didn't understand the developer's words.
it's basically a DNS service based on bitcoin. you can use "coins" to register and renew domain names.

so you were the guy who was registering all the "short" domain names
Haha, I didn't get them all! Don't worry though, I'll be trading them once the names are transferable. how can I check domain names availability ?
I setup a page which dumps the names here: http://webpagedeveloper.me/name_scan.phpBTW, I'll also trade 50 nc for 1 btc.

you can use name_scan to see if the domain you want is already registered.

Namecoin is a naming system based on bitcoin with a few modifications. It is inspired by the bitdns discussion and recent failures of the DNS.
The quick facts:
* This is a new blockchain, separate from the main Bitcoin chain
* Name/value pairs are stored in the blockchain attached to coins
* Names are acquired through new transaction types - new, first-update and update
* Names expire after 12000 blocks unless renewed with an update
* No two unexpired names can be identical
* Block validation is extended to reject transactions that do not follow the above rules
* The code is here: https://github.com/vinced/namecoin
Initially, two name spaces are defined - DNS and personal. The DNS name space is targetted towards a new distributed TLD, possibly .bit.
