The same way you would for any other coin works.
I tried running namecoind in wallet, server, and mining mode. The [namecoind dumpprivkey Nxxx] command returns "Method not found" or "Server not found" every time.

Oh, I forgot:

3b) Promote Bitcoin as a 'payment service' or an 'investment' instead of a currency in order to justify regulation and create volatility. (check)
3b. Vote criminal politicians out that craft unjust laws. Check.

Anyone can participate in Bitcoin, they just cannot directly control it. Taxation is the only way they will function and stupid things like wars will require taxes to pay for them.

1) Buy off / co-opt development team and major miners.  (check)

2) Establish network control via frequent, forced client upgrades and network splits.  (check)

3) Use shills to co-opt and distort Bitcoin political message away from freedom and opposition to bail-outs and towards democracy and paying taxes to support cronyist banks.  (check)

4) Support large-scale criminal enterprises to secure a supply of Bitcoins to short (ponzi schemes, thefts, fraud, etc).  (check)

5) Setup Bitcoin services designed to eliminate anonymity.  (check)

6) Identify major holders.  (check?)

7) Control ASIC manufacturers.  (in progress)

8 ) Targeted shut-downs, bank account raids, random door-kickings of major participants that fail to go along. (coming soon)

9) THE PUMP -- pump up the price by preventing selling, artificially limiting supply, and by buying en masse.

10) THE DUMP -- crash the price by coordinated technical attacks, sabotage, targeting merchants, loosening of restrictions on selling, and by dumping BTC.

11) GOTO 8

1. Bitcoin is open source. Satoshi will return anonymosly. Check
2. Anonymous dev team will use darknet communications to coordinate counter attack because they are smarter than bankers. Check
3. FUD is ignored by anyone with a brain. Check.
4. A good thing. Monetizing Bitcoin makes my stash more valuable. Check.
5. Set up anonymity services on darknet. Check.
6. Change your name. Check
7. Compete with ASIC manufacturers by building bigger fabs. Check.
8. Use TOR. Check
9. Sell to pumpers. Check.
10. Buy from dumpers. Profit.
11. GOTO 8
Better sell all your Bitcoins.

Litecoin is like Canadian coins. Why do they bother to mint them?

Make sure you keep your plan a secret because there is more than one central bank, and they probably have more money than you to spend. Do you think they will waste their money helping you to destroy Bitcoin, or do you think they will buy your cheap bitcoins and put you out of business?

Central banks have always worked together against the slave class.  Watch the Forex markets if you don't believe so.

Bankers only care about making money for themselves. In fact, it looks like the BRIC nations may move in where the EURO is failing.

Is there a way to make a paper wallet for NMC addresses?
4871  Economy / Speculation / Re: Someone is dumping coins en masse on: March 29, 2013, 02:55:41 AM
Bitcoin is getting very resistant to this pump and dump. I wonder at what price they will try it again?

I was just going to watch this thread, but decided to make some popcorn and stay awhile. One BenRayfield post is like a week's worth of facebook.
4873  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: The minimum transfer fee is not trivial anymore on: March 28, 2013, 06:30:54 PM
You are not required to pay any fee. It is up to miners to set the fee they will accept. I would think that competition for the fees will lower the minimal fee.
4874  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Denominating Bitcoin amounts on: March 28, 2013, 04:48:49 PM
I just never liked the name Bitcoin. Its one of those words that gets old fast and ever more irritating, like moist. Adding geeky metric prefixes doesn't help. Can't we tap into scifi literature for better names for these denominations? Even Quatloos has a better ring to it! Maybe it's just me.

Mac Daddy. And here I was thinking about a tat instead.

The photo isn't even labeled as a mockup. That is poor judgement to post such an image for an editor-in-chief. This Jeff Berwick will fit in well with the Bitcoin hypeware club.
4878  Economy / Speculation / Re: i'm torn. what would you do? on: March 28, 2013, 12:39:19 PM
It is going up day after day after day. This may be a speculative bubble, but is is not by any one investor. It is going to be a massive expansion. The speculation however, may not keep up with adoption and may just instead turn into actual growth. It all depends on the feedback loop.
4879  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: $324000 per day on: March 27, 2013, 03:22:14 PM

"Bad guys" will always have access to ASICs, one can't simply pretend away that threat.  Today if someone wanted to attack Bitcoin they wouldn't build a GPU farm they would fab some chips and build a smaller easier to manage ASIC farm.  It wouldn't matter if BFL and Avalon didn't exist an attacker would STILL go that route because it is the most economical.

Yep, but even "Bad Guys" have enemies/competitors that will counter-attack by supporting the network.
4880  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Positive Money is now accepting Bitcoin donations! on: March 27, 2013, 02:16:40 PM
This is unbelievable. There is a small but noisy movement of people in Finland that call themselves supporters of "economic democracy". It's basically equivalent to this positive money thing. Many of their main figures are the most anti-bitcoin people you can imagine.

Even though they have big reservations, it seems that money talks, bullshit walks. This is exactly the reason I wouldn't donate EFF or Wikipedia a single cent/penny until they accept bitcoins.

Money talks, bullshit walks.
Well said. It sounds like EFF has some house cleaning to do.
