you can use name_scan to see if the domain you want is already registered.

Current price is:
<250 namecoins: 0.010... BTC per Namecoin, or 100 Namecoins for 1 btc.
250+ namecoins: 0.008 BTC per Namecoin, or 125 Namecoins for 1 btc.
(prices increased  05/31/2011 due to higher difficulty)

what's namecoin?
Quote
Namecoin is a naming system based on bitcoin with a few modifications.  It is inspired by the bitdns discussion and recent failures of the DNS.

The quick facts:

* This is a new blockchain, separate from the main Bitcoin chain
* Name/value pairs are stored in the blockchain attached to coins
* Names are acquired through new transaction types - new, first-update and update
* Names expire after 12000 blocks unless renewed with an update
* No two unexpired names can be identical
* Block validation is extended to reject transactions that do not follow the above rules
* The code is here: https://github.com/vinced/namecoin

Initially, two name spaces are defined - DNS and personal.  The DNS name space is targetted towards a new distributed TLD, possibly .bit.

This would be great in the summer, where i'm super bored. :p
5025  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: In what year would mining rigs be useless? on: April 26, 2011, 12:34:28 AM
if mining is unprofitable, miners will drop out, and the difficulty will fall. Eventually, it will be low enough that it's profitable again.

How can we get namecoins without the namecoin client?
you can't?

5030  Economy / Economics / Re: 1 BTC = 2 USD on: April 24, 2011, 02:25:28 AM
it was 1.95 earlier today, so i wouldn't be suprised if it reached $5 USD/BTC
5031  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: CPU Mining on: April 24, 2011, 02:22:11 AM
exactly what cpu are we talking about?

the newest generation cpu's have igp's capable of doing openCL thus able to mine
if you read his post, his intergrated graphics are very old (judging from VRAM), so no openCL.
5032  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: CPU Mining on: April 23, 2011, 09:25:42 PM
Sure, you can mine, but you're only going to get 6.5 * 7 = 45.5 MH/s (assuming 3.0 GHz). that will make you around 0.50 BTC per day.
5033  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: which is the best pooled mining sevice ? on: April 23, 2011, 09:22:33 PM
Deepbit is very easy to set-up with, and has the most features and most info. Bitcoinpool has almost no features and have been victim of a few attacks, and they stored the passwords IN PLAIN TEXT, they also forgot to pay someone already, which is a little suspicious.

5034  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: [Introducing] The Bitcoin Mining Authority on: April 22, 2011, 03:27:46 AM
you should really change the title for your topic. your business is not the authority of anything.
5035  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: [Introducing] The Bitcoin Mining Authority on: April 21, 2011, 10:53:40 PM
SSD is better than HDD, but it's just too expensive. the benefits you gain from using SSD for mining is just too little to justify the expense. I agree with xenon481, Mining machines should be using USB for storage.
5036  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: [Introducing] The Bitcoin Mining Authority on: April 21, 2011, 10:42:30 PM
I don't like the title of your thread, it's VERY misleading. "Mining Authority" implies you're exerting some sort of control over the mining system, which you do not.
I'm selling quality machines. The SSD improves boot times over an HDD
how would that be useful? are you restarting your miner daily or hourly?
and has no moving parts to fail, reducing the likelihood of downtime.
Most servers use hard disks, and they still have 99.99+% uptime

5038  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: More divisibility required - move the decimal point on: April 18, 2011, 08:14:16 PM
I don't like the idea of 'preserving the familiar'. If we did that, America would still be using feet and inches... oh, wait.
Feet and inches are far better than the common alternative of metres. The latter is based on decimal, one of the worst possible radices, and has only ever been adopted by force. America deserves credit for not forcing people to use an inferior system.

I've reduced fees for repeat customers by .5 percentage points.  This reflects my reduced costs for servicing such customers.  First-time buyers still pay approximately the same as they did before.
repeat customer = same email, correct?

a serial number is not what you're asking for. what you're asking for is for each row to be labeled. get your terminology correct, okay?
