Title: Selling Namecoins Post by: grue on April 26, 2011, 01:32:57 AM Current price is:
<250 namecoins: 0.010... BTC per Namecoin, or 100 Namecoins for 1 btc. 250+ namecoins: 0.008 BTC per Namecoin, or 125 Namecoins for 1 btc. (prices increased 05/31/2011 due to higher difficulty) what's namecoin? Quote 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. Forum thread (http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=6017)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.

Title: Re: Namecoins 50/BTC Post by: grue on April 26, 2011, 12:28:00 PM you can use name_scan to see if the domain you want is already registered.

I setup a page which dumps the names here: http://webpagedeveloper.me/name_scan.phpBTW, I'll also trade 50 nc for 1 btc. Title: Re: Namecoins 50 for 1 BTC!

Post by: dmp1ce on April 27, 2011, 02:51:55 AM 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.Title: Re: Selling Namecoins, 50 for 1 BTC! Post by: chris200x9 on April 27, 2011, 03:32:00 AM 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.Title: Re: Selling Namecoins, 75 for 1 BTC!

Title: Re: Selling Namecoins, 75 for 1 BTC! Post by: ADgordo on May 01, 2011, 02:32:43 AM So I could theoretically register 75 domains? Could you give a human readable description?
Title: Re: Selling Namecoins, 75 for 1 BTC! Post by: doublec on May 01, 2011, 04:14:22 AM 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.Title: Re: Selling Namecoins, 75 for 1 BTC! Post by: Bit_Happy on May 01, 2011, 04:31:18 AM Does the client work on Windows?
Can I mine "a lot" per day still? Title: Re: Selling Namecoins, 75 for 1 BTC! Post by: ADgordo on May 01, 2011, 05:12:14 AM has the .bit TLD been created yet or has this not taken off already?
Title: Re: Selling Namecoins, 75 for 1 BTC! Post by: kiba on May 01, 2011, 05:22:39 AM 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! Title: Re: Selling Namecoins, 75 for 1 BTC! Post by: Bit_Happy on May 01, 2011, 05:42:34 AM Where do you get the the lookup software?
Also is there a mining client for windows? Title: Re: Selling Namecoins, 75 for 1 BTC! Post by: Ricochet on May 01, 2011, 06:14:02 AM 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... >_>
Title: Re: Selling Namecoins, 75 for 1 BTC! Post by: no to the gold cult on May 01, 2011, 10:14:37 AM I think I get the same dll error, your kit running XP too?
Title: Re: Selling Namecoins, 75 for 1 BTC! Post by: Ricochet on May 01, 2011, 10:40:04 AM 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. Title: Re: Selling Namecoins, 75 for 1 BTC!

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!Title: Re: Selling Namecoins, 75 for 1 BTC!

EDIT: Actually, I've got ฿5 for you EDIT: Found another seller, sorry. :( Title: Re: Selling Namecoins Post by: grue on May 10, 2011, 11:47:12 PM prices lowered, again, again.

Title: Re: Selling Namecoins Post by: gigabytecoin on June 03, 2011, 01:24:22 AM Looks like the difficulty is really taking off! I wonder if that has anything to do with bitcoin's difficulty..?
Title: Re: Selling Namecoins Post by: marcus_of_augustus on June 03, 2011, 03:16:30 AM 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. Title: Re: Selling Namecoins Post by: darbsllim on June 11, 2011, 02:12:31 AM What is the point of namecoins? Is there really a demand for .bit domain names, or is this just the 'bronze' version of bitcoin?

Title: Re: Selling Namecoins Post by: BitcoinPorn on June 24, 2011, 06:25:29 PM 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. |
