Title: Namecoin blockchain explorer and addresses Post by: PrintCoins on December 22, 2011, 06:50:57 PM Does namecoin work exactly the same way for priv/pub addresses. Can I use the same pair as a namecoin address and a bitcoin address. Can I use what is generated here:
https://www.bitaddress.org/ to create a namecoin address? Also, is their a blockexplorer for namecoin? What about a nice friendly gui interface that will work on my mac for my wallet? Title: Re: Namecoin blockchain explorer and addresses Post by: DeathAndTaxes on December 22, 2011, 07:02:09 PM Namecoin uses same algorithm but a valid namecoin address begins with an N not a 1. Unless the code was designed to produce namecoins address/key pairs it won't work. Doesn't look like bitaddress does.

Check here (http://dot-bit.org/forum/viewforum.php?f=9) for a GUI, there's a Java one so I think it could work on a mac.

I don't actually want to have the client running, I just want to buy some namecoins off someone, and have an address to store them at (in case some day in the future they are worth something).

An alternative is to use an exchange account. I don't know of a standalone key generator for namecoin. You could also install client, generate a wallet and export 1+ sets of keypairs and then remove client/wallet.

Title: Re: Namecoin blockchain explorer and addresses Post by: tysat on December 24, 2011, 04:59:48 PM so no one just has a priv/pub pair creator for namecoin? I would ask on the namecoin forums at dot-bit.org Title: Re: Namecoin blockchain explorer and addresses Post by: jackjack on December 24, 2011, 05:42:32 PM so no one just has a priv/pub pair creator for namecoin? Run this in pywallet directory:Code: tr -dc a-f0-9 < /dev/urandom | head -c 64 | xargs ./pywallet.py --info --importhex --otherversion 52 --importprivkey It will give you something like: Code: Address (Namecoin): NJFPUnVCWkydLxF8QUCW7aeWG51weGj9uB PS: you might want a better source of entropy Title: Re: Namecoin blockchain explorer and addresses Post by: PrintCoins on December 24, 2011, 07:57:28 PM Code: tr -dc a-f0-9 < /dev/urandom | head -c 64 | xargs ./pywallet.py --info --importhex --otherversion 52 --importprivkey Title: Re: Namecoin blockchain explorer and addresses Post by: 2112 on December 24, 2011, 10:59:40 PM tr: Illegal byte sequence Try prefixing the pipeline with LC_ALL=C .Title: Re: Namecoin blockchain explorer and addresses Post by: PrintCoins on December 25, 2011, 04:10:29 AM tr: Illegal byte sequence Try prefixing the pipeline with LC_ALL=C .Thanks guys!
