Title: [ANN] Seeking Funds to Build a Lightweight Wallet for Namecoin (NMC) Post by: FrictionlessCoin on December 27, 2013, 03:40:01 PM All,
It comes to my attention that Namecoin is in need of a lightweight wallet to strore one's coins. I am proposing to port the MultiBit Bitcoin client ( see: https://multibit.org/ ) to be used for Namecoin (NMC). The Bitcoin foundation has now recommended that desktop clients use MultiBit SPV mechanism rather that Bitcoin-QT. This mechanism does not require that users spend days downloading the entire Bitcoin blockchain. This kind of convenience and usability would be a big boost to the adoption of NMC as a currency. The current namecoin client is still on version 3.72 which dates back several years. This proposal is to make available a new client that will run on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Furthermore, this proposal will make possible the development of Namecoin clients for Android phones. The effort required to do this port will require the porting of two existing Bitcoin open source projects into Namecoin. Specifically: (1) Bitcoinj (2) MultiBit This takes a considerable amount of work and I am therefore seeking donations for this effort: Namecoin address: MwDtDr6FxHAav4FqxcqqfKDdZM3J3oYsi4 If you are heavily invested in NMC, please consider investing to this project to further NMC development. Regards, FrictionlessCoin P.S. A similar port for iXcoin is underway, however that is funded by a separate fund raising activity.

Title: Re: [ANN] Seeking Funds to Build a Lightweight Wallet for Namecoin (NMC) Post by: FrictionlessCoin on December 28, 2013, 01:27:04 AM What about ufasoft? This is a port of MultiBit. What is your point about ufasoft? Title: Re: [ANN] Seeking Funds to Build a Lightweight Wallet for Namecoin (NMC) Post by: bitpop on December 28, 2013, 01:27:57 AM What about ufasoft? This is a port of MultiBit. What is your point about ufasoft? Maybe it will give you some guidance. Seems like you have a closed mind.

I've never heard of Ufasoft, you never explain what it is. Now you are upset that I didn't take the time to look at it and work on it!! Now you're placing judgement on my work?! Sheesh!

Not a problem at all. I've already started development. Maybe if you can send just a small token. I would appreciate the encouragement.

Title: Re: [ANN] Seeking Funds to Build a Lightweight Wallet for Namecoin (NMC) Post by: FrictionlessCoin on January 02, 2014, 07:44:12 PM In light of the recent NMC rise in price, this project is becoming more important.

is a multibit like client unable to work on its own? Title: Re: [ANN] Seeking Funds to Build a Lightweight Wallet for Namecoin (NMC) Post by: notsoshifty on February 19, 2014, 05:03:57 PM I can donate 250 NMC to this. Will send the coins when I do get home. Best of luck! Thanks, will let you know of receipt. By the way, in case people are considering donating, they should be aware that the bitcointalk user accounts 'FrictionlessCoin' and 'solracx' in the exchange above are actually controlled by the same person; seemingly trying to 'get the ball rolling' on the donations by mentioning a 250 NMC donation.
