I don't understand this - what is the value in namecoin?  And what is bitparking?

Namecoin in itself is a peer-to-peer DNS system based off of the Bitcoin code.  You use Namecoins to register your own domain, though at the moment you need a custom DNS server in order to resolve those .bit domains.  Useful for the same reason Bitcoin's decentralization is useful, namely, that these domains can't be blocked by a governmental authority.  The project is still in its infancy right now though.

Bitparking I have no idea.

So namecoin is to godaddy as bitcoin is to paypal?

How do you earn Namecoins, and how to do you register namecoin domains??

From what I hear, the whole system leaves a lot to be desired.

the code needs work, and the registration process really needs to be streamlined... honestly it needs a GUI.. but otherwise the .bit domains do work.

That's what I hear about bitcoin too.  Funny how people resist new ideas.

See this post on namecoins (http://www.bluishcoder.co.nz/2011/05/12/namecoin-a-dns-alternative-based-on-bitcoin.html) for details.

This thread is about the BTC <--> NMC exchange, not the Namecoin mining pool.

I'd love to have integration in bitcoincharts.com (see http://bitcoincharts.com/about/exchanges/ on what needs to be exposed how) to see some nice charts etc.

You will always need a DNS server to resolve an host, i miss the point in this. The custom DNS can be easily blocked and i don't think anyone will fell the need of installing a program just to resolve some .biz domains.
The "untraceable" nature of bitcoins is lost in this project: IP addresses are associated to a company/person and they can be very easily blocked.

It's a nice concept, but i can't see anything more than that.

qed, you're completely missing the point of this project...I suspect by lack of understanding of the current way DNS works. This isn't the thread to discuss it, please check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_Name_System and also the main dot-bit project site http://dot-bit.org/Main_Page . If you have further questions, please direct them to the #namecoin channel in IRC.

As far as I know, yes. I recently successfully made a withdrawal without any hitches.

This is a really well executed site, I love it!

One action that is complicated: posting an order for all remaining account balance.  To do it, one must determine the order quantity Q such that Q + fee = remaining balance.  It would be nice if there was a button to compute this automatically.

just started to use the exchange.
from what I've seen the system is working, but some css would be nice. For example, the http://explorer.dot-bit.org/ looks ok...

It's in the works, but functionality is a priority over aesthetics at this point.

Looking on IRC for doubleC, just hoping this question could get answered here.

Is it possible the 48 hour window for a deposit address could go stale while the block is being confirmed?  And two, is there anyway to confirm that a deposit address was at one time a valid address?

I mean I found the block, and the transaction in the explorer.  It hasn't shown up in my bitparking account after 14 confirmations.

Thanks for any info anyone could provide.

Having issues getting withdraw approved.  Server timeouts.  Took dozen or so tries before it finally went through.

Shooter are you aware of the problems with withdraw (and randomly other site functions).

I'm trialing a PPCoin exchange at https://ppcexchange.bitparking.com. It works similar to my  namecoin and litecoin exchanges. If you register please include an emergency PPC and BTC withdrawal address when prompted so the exchange can refund coins if it needs to close.

The deposit addresses are permanent - they don't change and you can send to them multiple times - which is different from how my namecoin exchange operates.

I just found out I have been sending NMC for at least 6 months to an address which I can't access anymore.

I setup my account on https://exchange.bitparking.com/ with my Google Account credentials.  Now it says that there is no account with that login. I created a new one with the same Google Account, in hope it would recognize me, but nothing.

I've had at least a quadrillion of NMC in there ;-)

http://explorer.dot-bit.org/a/NBW2xn7N8Mo425W6dCamCsc2eAaf7EgYMm

Now there are received and sent transactions. Could this mean somebody else took ownership of that address?
