I presume your post tells me how to come up with "private keys", but how can I import those "private keys" into a wallet so the coins can be spent?

After some trouble setting up, the namecoin client is now downloading blocks and the Phoenix miner is setup to start as soon as all blocks are downloaded. I understand why it's not popular... The client looks like it's made in 1983...  I'll mine some Namecoins on one of my rigs to speed things up a bit  Can't let all of you wait till august until the difficulty drops... are you referring to a GUI client for namecoin? If so, where can I find such a thing? |

Sorry for my noobness... how does one import keys?

You need to re-do this thread and make the title "Someone Write Up a Namecoin for Dummies Please", I was tricked into coming here.
I thought about that right after I hit "post"...  |

I'm trying to wrap my head around namecoin....
By the way, is there a "block explorer" or a "namecoin watch" or other sites for namecoin like there are for bitcoin?

What we need is people willing to take their paycheck each month, drop it into bitcoins, and live off of it.
Who is willing to take the bitcoin challenge? It doesn't even need to be early adopters, anyone can do this. Bitcoin is a way to buy things, make it your only way.
Sounds like you're volunteering?  Nice! |

I used to use eGold, but I'm got tired of it pretty quickly. The BitCoin community seems to be more active and many more developers.
haha! I shoulda known you were a fellow e-golder... |

Stop making this more confusing than it has to be. Every currency should have a 3 letter code.
General consensus has determined that the 3 letter currency code is: BTC
There is less consensus on the symbol. But the most common usage is: ฿
I would stick with those two choices as to avoid confusion and force everyone to start using the same thing.
I agree with you on BTC, but the baht symbol is already taken as a currency symbol. Both the USD and AUD dollar use $ but they are completely different currencies. A B with a vertical line through it really does seem appropriate imo. Yes, but whenever I've seen prices quoted in Australian Dollars it has been "A$" or "AUD$". I like the ฿ too, but I feel it would be best to differentiate it from another currency. |

The only one I can think of is by having trusted parties managing the money, thus when a trusted party confirms the money has been sent, you can be sure you'll receive a payment. MY-BIT-COIN-DOT-COM Yep. Part of the idea of bitcoins is self-ownership. You don't really own something unless it is in your possession and is free and clear. |

Those of you who hate on pyramid/ponzi schemes are hypocrites if you also hold a "Social Security number" or any equivalent.
+1 good one, I need to remember that. At least bitcoins and bitcoin related ponzi schemes are very clearly VOLUNTARY. I've had a Social Security number chasing me around pretty much since I was born, and I certainly didn't ask for it! |

How can I print out my wallet.dat to paper, in letters/numbers, and then how can I make it back into a usable wallet.dat file?

I want to make sure I am using the new updated client and not the old one installed on my computer.
I installed the new one, but when I open it and click on "help" in the toolbar and go to "About", I see:
"Bitcoin version 0.3.23-beta"
Was this forgotten, and simply not changed? Or am I just using the old version still and I installed the new new one wrong or something?

All knowing Atlas please answer this simple question for me.
If public education is evil, and Sweden has more state influence in their education system than America does, then why is Sweden not more of a failure than the U.S. ? Why are the Swedish people generally more happy? How come their Society is not a massive failure as you argue?
Sweden lacks the "multiculturalism" and "diversity" with which America is so "blessed"... (homogeneous cultures historically survive much longer than "multicultural melting-pots") |

The problem with ß is that is that it is actively used by a country/language.
Same with ฿.
To my knowledge, Ⓑ doesn't have that problem; and it is a "B" in a circle - like a "coin".

Hello all, I decided I'd make an account JUST to show my support for Ⓑ (well, and probably to rant and ramble on other issues as well ). Sure, $ is used in multiple places so why not the Thai ฿? I personally feel like bitcoin is such a radical step (at least for most people, who don't tend to think about the value of currency) that piggybacking on a current currency symbol just because it has the letter B in it is poor form. The Ⓑ (U+24B7) works just as well, or even better. It's shaped like a coin, it has a B, there is no potential for confusion. I honestly can't think of an argument for ฿ and against Ⓑ. ^^^ asdfqwejpwek has a point... I like Ⓑ.  |
