The poll has been closed. Vince's poll has the same result. So, first TLD will be .bit ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Namecoin is more than that. It is a naming system (not only a domain naming system). It's currently used only for storing domains (prefixed with "d/"), but there is no limit to what it can be used for.

Dot-Bit project is a decentralized, anonymous and open DNS system based on the namecoin naming system!The project has set up a page for donations : http://dot-bit.org/Dot-bit_Project:Site_supportBitcoin: 1J3EKMfboca3SESWGrQKESsG1MA9yK6vN4 Namecoin: N2pGWAh65TWpWmEFrFssRQkQubbczJSKi9 They will be used for bounties or services that help the project to spread. There is also a dedicated forum to avoid flooding here :p http://dot-bit.org/forum/

I've done a patch for the bitcoin client to send payments to email addresses and url : - Discussion- Pull requestIt's not finished yet. What do you think about ?

Here is small tool to check the json-value you submit in namecoin : http://dot-bit.org/tools/domainCheck.phpIt only says if the json-syntax is valid and tries to correct \, " and ' problems. It may avoid some common problems when registering a domain :p

Who will be the first to create a about page on the wiki ? :p

Here is a domain price calculator : http://dot-bit.org/tools/domainCost.phpEnter the current block number (default one is an estimation, good enough) and you'll have the result. Price will be 25NC on block 8196, and 12.5NC on block 16392, etc.

Well, mapping directly to my server's ip still gave me the "server not found" error. But I tried using ns with slicehost again, and adding a dns zone with my domain, and this time I got some output: Anyway I could trick it, maybe? Replace : "{\"map\": {\"\": {\"ns\": [\"ns1.slicehost.net, ns2.slicehost.net, ns3.slicehost.net\"]}}}" With : "{\"map\": {\"\": {\"ns\": [\"ns1.slicehost.net\", \"ns2.slicehost.net\", \"ns3.slicehost.net\"]}}}" Your domain should appear in the "Configured full domains" after some minuts : http://opennic.bit/#domEdit : your domain is not configured on slicehost, or slicehost does not support .bit maybe ?

gsan reports me that this ip was blocks for some of his servers... so, the problem shouldn't by on your side. I guess i'll need to use another ip...

We have reached 400 domain names :p

So, are domains registered through namecoin anonymous, seeing as it's just a modified bitcoin? Would this be considered a darknet, like .onion or .i2p sites? I don't quite know what I'm talking about, but I'm just wondering.
Domains are registered anonymously, but the webpages they point to are not hidden. Advantages of namecoin are : - censorship-resistant domains - owner of domain is anonymous Edit : gigabytecoin > fixed the https redirection. Thanks. Edit2 : captcha has been replaced by a Q&A

It is switching from http to https, so you have a warning because of the ssl certificate... (a solution would be to have a dedicated ip and a new ssl certificate, or to avoid the redirection to https)

I've compiled the namecoind binary for linux 64bits with latest patches. It's available on http://dot-bit.org/It corrects disappeared domains and adds two rpc calls if problems are not corrected automatically : name_clean & deletetransaction (you'll need a transaction id, obtained with listtransactions [make backup before !]). It uses new namecoin addresses starting with N instead of 1 Example : N3345eoPuzXH8nsGqtDUKM5Wts1HgU5r2f

I think the bitcoin forum is a good way to bootstrap this project. But, it can't eternally rely on bitcoin, even with a separated section... and that's why i've started the dot-bit wiki. I may add a forum too soon. I've not taken "namecoin" as project name because there was no domain free, and because of the dot-p2p project. psy owns some namecoin domains, so, a change of name is still possible.
