Some updates for NMControl :

- added a http service
- added a http plugin to make a future GUI, available at http://127.0.0.2/ (a simple page for now)
* allow any number of sub plugins : first one is GuiHttpConfig, a simple page at http://127.0.0.2/config to be able configure NMControl from a web browser.

A small bug report :

I transfered a name to a fresh namecoin-qt wallet, and in the transaction list it appears as "(n/a)" 0.00NMC (without the namecoin icon).
This wallet does not have the change address for that tx (it is in the other wallet) nor the input addresses.

However, the name appears in the "Manage names" tab.

Then, I've done a name_update from the GUI, and this one has the right label and icon in the transaction list (not yet confirmed, but should be ok).

did you try 3.62?


I should have using it, but did not finished the compilation (not enough ram at that moment)...
Sorry if it is already fixed.
* khal is compiling

[edit: it's ok with 3.62]

I've added the "dumpprivkey" rpc call to namecoin : https://github.com/namecoin/namecoin/commits/master
Could be useful to test namecoin-qt :p

Branch of namecoin-qt has been updated too :
https://github.com/namecoin/namecoin/commits/namecoin-qt


I'm trying namecoin-qt, starting to import addresses only but it seems to freeze on big addresses... and then I need a new blockchain to launch again (but, it was bootstraping at the same time I import addresses).
I'll make new tests when the blockchain will be updated :p

it's ok with fresh wallet it seems.. maybe it's something to do with your wallet.. looking again though

All addresses in this wallet are without privkey (from importaddress), so maybe that's one problem.

On the other hand, even using only imported addresses without priv keys this works perfectly if I send from one address to two others (i.e. no address reuse). I will try with a fresh wallet and importaddress, and if that still fails I'll try a fresh wallet and importprivkey.

Ok, so with a fresh wallet and importaddress it fails still, but with importprivkey it works fine.

looking at it now.. didn't test address without privkey.

PLEASE TEST
NAMESPACE REGISTRATION ADDED + Transactions will show name txs (new tab, Manage Names)

https://github.com/namecoin-qt/namecoin-qt

Binaries
(MAC NOT UPDATED YET (but should be able to compile from repo), will ask Maxpower when finalized).
http://www.mediafire.com/folder/3aa8ukj7v6m5d/Namecoin-qt

will add name filter soon + some more tweaks

would be great if someone with quite a "few" names could test


bugs:
auto-firstupdating after 12 blocks causes crash.. working on it... possibly due encrypted wallet .. sorry.. should have checked... when you submit a new name it will automatically do this, so there is no way out.. maybe don't submit a new name till we sort (hopefully by tomorrow)

right clicking on a name-tx may show some funny values

will sort ASAP

The namecoin daemon was off, maybe due to some tests I've done...
It is now back since several days :p
32  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [announce] Namecoin - a distributed naming system based on Bitcoin on: June 12, 2013, 08:15:18 PM
I've merged namecoin-qt in the official repository.
It is currently on a separated branch : https://github.com/namecoin/namecoin/commits/namecoin-qt

Code:
#How to build from sources :

git clone https://github.com/namecoin/namecoin
git pull origin namecoin-qt:namecoin-qt
git checkout namecoin-qt

#Make namecoin-qt
cd project; qmake; make

#Make namecoind
cd src; make

If people don't report critical bugs, we will make an official release Smiley
So, please, test it.

ps : we will release it as version Namecoin v4.0 as proposed by snailbrain (lots of new rpc commands + the GUI)

Namecoin TLS support - first implementation from biolizard89 Grin

http://dot-bit.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=4285#p4285


I've tested it with a patched nmcontrol (to avoid updating the blockchain for now) and it works !
We don't need untrusted Certificate Authorities anymore :p

With the help of biolizard89, we have discovered that the support of SNI (several certificates on 1 ip) is currently broken in the Convergence plugin.
But it is really really promising Smiley

Good work biolizard89 Smiley

We currently need some people to moderate the namecoin forum, because there is too much spam and I've not the time to clean the forum regularly.
People interested can postulate here.

Good work, but who is the creator ? Is it opensource ?

For what I've seen, it uses a proxy server (my proxy currently, listed here : https://dot-bit.org/How_To_Browse_Bit_Domains#List_of_App_proxies).
You can do the same with foxyproxy for example : https://dot-bit.org/How_To_Configure_Foxyproxy

I would like to see it evolve to allow the user to chose a local proxy (to trust nobody, but the blockchain :p), so, itf it could be open sourced it would be cool :p
36  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [announce] Namecoin - a distributed naming system based on Bitcoin on: June 07, 2013, 06:32:14 PM
Thanks! That seems to have fixed it, but for right now the three hard-coded IP seed nodes for Namecoin are all refusing connections, so my client isn't finding any peers to connect to. Was there a new version adopted that change the ports or magic bits of network communications?
Check commits from days 24/05 (mainnet) & 25/05 (testnet) to find the right magic numbers : https://github.com/khalahan/namecoin/commits/namecoin_v0.8.2rc2 (but they have not changed).
If you reject merged mined blocks, this is another reason why your peer disconnects itself from remote nodes.

who else thinks this sounds phishy?

Me. Just the fact that you have to install that plug-in.
The plugin is open source, just unzip the content to check the code.
Plus, you need a plugin to display ads instead of intercepted ones (would you prefer a .exe ? Cheesy).


It's nice to see an autosurf being made with a payment method actually worth receiving.
Thanks :p

That's 74 seconds after the timestamp of 24191. My retargeting math has worked for all the previous retargets, so why did this one go wonky? Was there some different logic in place for this block round that allowed a slightly different difficulty retarget? Is this a rounding error (after multiplying the old target by the actual time spent, do I need to truncate it before dividing it out)?
Block 22175 is 74s before block 22176 (time of block 22175 = 1318761208).

This code may be responsible of that :
Code:
main.cpp: GetNextWorkRequired line 671
    // Go back the full period unless it's the first retarget after genesis. Code courtesy of ArtForz

    int nBlocksBack = nInterval-1;
    if(pindexLast->nHeight >= hooks->GetFullRetargetStartBlock() && ((pindexLast->nHeight+1) > nInterval))
        nBlocksBack = nInterval;

It is related to a bug known as "retarget hole"/timetravel due to merged mining :
https://github.com/namecoin/namecoin/commit/436f571d41cc53844d482eeef0069a3ca94e08f8
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=43719.0
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=43465.0 (first post erased...)

So, after block 19200, go back 2016 instead of 2015.

Hmm, what is the point of 1. and 2. if they get overwritten in 3. ?   IMHO 3. to 5. would be enough.
I forgot a '+' in 3.


Miners are not bound by priority. Eleuthria said himself BTCGuild was experimenting with completely ignoring priority, could be they already use it for production by now (for Bitcoin).
So by the very small advantage of occasionally saving a small fee you make fee calculation unpredictable voodoo, make things more complicated for pool ops and have a good chance of delaying your txs in the future. I have a strong opinion on this issue: priority is bad at this point.
(It would be good if miners would still prefer high priority txs as long as they pay reasonable fees because that makes block flooding more difficult).
There is an additional rule at the end of the fee function to require more and more fees is block has reached 50% of its size. So, more fees, more chances to be in the next block in case of flood.


? I thought txIns would decrease the fee?
I first proposed that but there are 3 problems :
- each txIn is where the signature will be verified, and it costs CPU
- if you have 50 txIn and 50 txOut, you'll pay 0 (50-50) additional fee on this part
- you can send 1000 tx to yourself for "free" (1000 small tx) and then consolidate to yourself (1000 txIn 1 txOut) for "free"

So, here is what can be done for txOut/txIn :
fee += (nb txOut - 2) * baseFee + (nb txIn - 2 * baseFee / 2)


Just realized there is a problem with giving name_op fees to the miner that solves the block: miners can make a business of  selling name registration much cheaper. It is profitable for them down to about 2% of the fee (orphaned blocks being the limit). So fees should be distributed to several miners... which might still give weird incentives.

Binding/locking a deposit contradicts the point of the fee. Until distribution to miners can be done in a proper way I vote for locking indefinitely / destroying.
So, we need to enforce the 0.01NMC (or wathever value we chose) of name_new. And forget the fees based on the size of the name...


[...]
c) If you name_update before anybody else does a name_new, the expiry field resets to 36,000.
[...]
Does this really work? I thought I tried and it did not... Would be nice if it did.
Not if the name is expired (he may not spoke about that case). Not sure it would be a good idea.

I read the post with all the tx testing.. i can't say i fully understand it.. but did you check the changes to the latest bitcoin? (obviously may not fit in with namecoin)
It is a simulation of fees with new rules on current namecoind.

The new bitcoin release use this to BLOCK really small dust (on client side and relay side if i'm right) :
Code:
bool CTxOut::IsDust() const
{   
    // "Dust" is defined in terms of CTransaction::nMinRelayTxFee,
    // which has units satoshis-per-kilobyte.
    // If you'd pay more than 1/3 in fees
    // to spend something, then we consider it dust.
    // A typical txout is 33 bytes big, and will
    // need a CTxIn of at least 148 bytes to spend,
    // so dust is a txout less than 54 uBTC
    // (5430 satoshis) with default nMinRelayTxFee
    return ((nValue*1000)/(3*((int)GetSerializeSize(SER_DISK,0)+148)) < CTransaction::nMinRelayTxFee);

We could also integrate this into namecoin ?
