Don't you find interesting that neither my Tor Browser, nor my non-js Firefox had any issues with Cloudflare? I had to force an "all" posts view for Clouflare to kick in.

Sorry, but your conspiracy theories are off topic here.

Tor is now considered to be an infallible tool for blanket anonymity, and to question this dogma means you are “spreading FUD”. This is pathetic.

I forgot to mention earlier, probably something that will make you look at me in a new light. I contract for the United States Government to build anonymity technology for them and deploy it. They don’t think of it as anonymity technology, though we use that term. They think of it as security technology. They need these technologies so that they can research people they’re interested in, so that they can have anonymous tip lines, so that they can buy things from people without other countries figuring out what they are buying, how much they are buying and where it is going, that sort of thing.

However, if this is your way of applying for the job, I don't think you'll pass. Work on your anger management first.

Proof it. The forum's addresses are public.

Pick a side: was it spent on toys, or is he HODLing?

I mean seriously OP, did you donate to the forum?  If not, why in the world would you care about the forum's funds?

I'm just quoting you from Tor browser with Javascript disabled (Security Level: Safest).

There's no money coming in, only money going out.

Squatters happen everywhere, who cares?  There is nothing stopping websites from being developed on .bit

The closer and more integrated JR and the Namecoin Devs get to integrating .bit into web browsers the more the trolls come out in deep fear!  (The namecoin Core integration has come a LONG way the last 2 years)

Love how much time you just wasted there to not change my descisions whatsoever.

It's clear that with every new development there are coming the envious, even if the latter can do nothing but spread FUD. While they have been banned from all other communities, BitcoinTalk is their last resort where they can keep trolling, that's nothing new at all.

You shouldn't assume I didn't see your FUD a few weeks ago, but everyone embarrasses themselves as best they can! All I can say in response is that you haven't contributed anything to the Namecoin project so far - other than sending merits here and spreading FUD. So on topic, Satoshi is not vinced. Before you keep spreading FUD, you should start reading at the initial post of this thread: Namecoin is a naming system based on bitcoin with a few modifications.  It is inspired by the bitdns discussion. Namecoin wasn't created out of thin air, and undoubtedly Satoshi's contributions were the most important, as cited especially with regard to the proposal of merged mining. Last but not least, just for the readers, it should be noted that Namecoin is a fork of Bitcoin, and the original additional code that made Namecoin from Bitcoin code were just an additional 400 lines of code to define the name operations. "Namecoin", by the way, was just one of the names for the project, and there were other synonyms for the same project in parallel, but I won't go into details here.

I don't care how others are referring to me, but we already had this funny discussion on Twitter/Discord/Telegram. Some contributors joined the Namecoin project in 2015 and you probably wouldn't complain if they were referred to as "OGs", but like I said, I don't care. I joined in July 2018, as you can see on the blockchain. From then until now I have registered many assets as a registrar on behalf of other community members, on May 19, 2019 I opened a huge to-do list on GitHub, and they are still working on the list.

Comments like this have a good reason, and as a side note, unlike some other contributors, I haven't been begging for funds out of the pots of the European Commission, while I would squat silently on a huge Handshake airdrop worth about $ 2 million USD, dedicated to the development of Namecoin, laundered against Bitcoin in the meantime. As declared in the NFT auction notifications, the proceeds from the auctions will be taken to fund the development and maintenance of the new Namecoin DNS apps, which work on the mainstream browsers for desktop and mobile devices in HTTPS mode. Something what the Namecoin community haven't ever seen running until today.

Nope, without convincing proof that satoshi is vinced, he did not.

He simply chimed in his thoughts in an ongoing discussion about BitDNS, which preceded and is entirely separate from Namecoin. This, along with the most vocal bagholders of re-registered names touting you as an "OG Namecoin dev", are two of the most embarrassing misconceptions in the entire Historical NFT space.

Its great if you want to build on Namecoin but please take your historical revisionism elsewhere.

I don't see why this has to be made into a personal dispute.
Namecoin has more serious problems to deal with rather than someone squatting domains.
Namecoin's brand value is literally being stole by a couple of for-profit corporations attempting to patent .bit domains and us as a community couldn't even get together to file a letter of protest for 50$ so the patent office is made aware of Namecoin's prior use of the technology.

Now this, this is an existential threat for bitcoin. People are going to look up the history of decentralized domains and it would of been erased by corporations if we don't act.
If you want to preserve Namecoin's protocol, go ahead and hard fork.

The biggest issue here, and what's enabling all these problems, is that nobody bothers anymore. The community left Namecoin to be forgotten and the few people bothering maintaining it (maybe rightly so) are taking many decisions without asking anyone, occasionally prioritizing personal gain. Make no mistakes though, it's not their fault for looking into personal gain. They're using the protocol to advance their personal interests but nowhere does it say that this isn't allowed. Instead of whining, WE should be taking action.

Keep in mind that personal benefit is vital to advancing anything. Even not for profit FOSS development orgs have people working in salaried positions and money to go around from grants. But do keep in mind, that as things stand, no matter how many domains someone squats, without demand, the protocol is bound to fail. So if anyone was even squatting 100% of Namecoin domains, there's very little to gain, let alone for development incentives. Protocol sustainability wasn't very well thought out in Namecoin sadly.

Ask yourself this.
Do you have a developer by your side?
Do you have a good idea how to make the protocol more trustless and self-sustained while preventing squatting?
If yes, build it. Fork it.

I can tell you with certainty that if you can find someone to develop this and devise a plan, pools holding the majority hashrate for NMC would support the hard fork.
Namely antpool, f2pool, viabtc and kucoin pool and any miner with ties to China would 100% support this fork (same way they did with BCH, Bitcoin Gold, Bitcoin GOD, ETC... You get the idea. ). These are still a tightly knit community so if they stood to gain anything they would support the fork and the new NMC would 100% become the winning chain, effectively returning the squatters to null.

As of the community, between the 10 people that even remember what Namecoin is, I'm sure many would welcome such changes. But that doesn't even matter anyway because Namecoin as it stands is dead community-wise. If anyone bothered to revive it in the slightest, the new community of users would overpower any old one.

TL;DR:
The issue isn't the few people left deving for Namecoin, it's the lack of a community. If you care, build something better and a hardfork is almost 100% guaranteed to receive support.

This raw data contains the public key in plain text. So the public keys for the early addresses are known. Because they were "pay-to-pubkey" addresses instead of the later introduced "pay-to-pubkeyhash" addresses.

Well the address has spent bitcoins many times, so I dont really get your point. You can simply see in the block explorer that there are many transactions, and from that you can also see the public key. If you want you can explain your point a little bit more, since like that I dont know what you mean.

If he had the private key, he would just sign a message proving his is Satoshi. He can't do that, so he isn't. Simple as that.

This software is good quality it is nice to use it can do all the work properly

So if this Bitcoin you talk about because obviously is a different one is developed by the CIA, NATO, Illuminati, Reptilians, Five Eyes, and so on, why can't you go back to your izba and fu, sorry, fork a new version of Bitcoin that will only suit your own needs.

If you are pro-Russian that is up to you, but expect people to argue your thoughts, since this is an free-speech site, unlike most of the Russian media, Sir.
