Title: What's the quickest no-BS way to get a namecoin address? Post by: Raize on December 12, 2011, 05:10:35 AM All I want to do is get a public key (I'll immediately encrypt/archive the private key or wallet.dat). I'll probably never touch it again. Anyone know the quickest/easiest way to do this? I would prefer Windows instructions.

Anyone know the quickest/easiest way to do this? I would prefer Windows instructions. Start the namecoin client and it will generate a wallet.dat. You can pull addresses out of it with 'namecoind getnewaddress'. You don't even need to download the block chain to do this. The last I heard namecoin didn't have a gui, you have to interact with it on the command line. Title: Re: What's the quickest no-BS way to get a namecoin address?

Load it up on a computer not connected to the internet, write the keys down, and you've got yourself an extremely secure method of generating and storing your keys.

I don't think that's what the guy above meant when he asked for the 'quickest/easiest way to do this'. Title: Re: What's the quickest no-BS way to get a namecoin address?

Post by: evoorhees on December 14, 2011, 12:57:55 AM Quickest, easiest way is to have a cryptoxchange.com (http://cryptoxchange.com) account. The moment you sign up, you'll have a namecoin address staring at you. You can also buy/sell namecoins there obviously.
