Hi All,

I have a question, with namecoin's you can do "namecoind name_scan" and get retuned a list of domains that have been registered (to a limit of 500, you can add a number after that to return more).

But this will only return domain names that have not been expired by the block count.

What I would like to know is if there is an easy way to see all name transactions, the reason that I am asking is more academic than anything, I want to know how many namecoins out of the generated block pool have been destroyed (i.e. been used to register domains).

Thanks for you help and any answer you can give, the method how to work it out is probably more important to me than the answer.

It was displayed on http://explorer.dot-bit.org/ before, but as it is not useful anymore (currently there is 0.01NMC destroyed for each name_firstupdate, but it'll be 0 in some months) I've removed it.

Here is the info :
Total lost coins : 85127.53

To do the math yourself, you need each name_firstupdate tx with all tx_out and look at the tx_out with the script OP_RETURN. Not something you can do with the standard client.

Thanks for that, 85127.53 should be good enough number for me to work on for now, if not I will hack something together to use the method you give from the blockchain.
