WikiLeaks was perhaps one of the first organizations that acfepted donations in BTC.
Now its founder is in jail pending extradition to the U.S.. with charges under the espionage act.

I'd like to know how the crowd of this forum thinks of WikiLeaks founder. Please explain your answer.

Wikileaks.org is full of dead links as we speak.
Go to the website and verify that yourself if you want.

Even the donation page leads to an HTTPS error. Most drops are nowhere to be found or dead links, search doesn't work... You get the idea.
So, is WikiLeaks dying?

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.

Maybe we as a community should try to find this do.id patient application to file an objection. Who knows that their true intentions are for filing a pattent over a supposed decentralised protocol. They already stole $13m investment money based on deceptive claims.

Can you explain Anyswap's relationship with fusion?
Anyswap is based on Fusion tech and was supposed to be ported over to run on-chain with fusion. Yes this has never happened and now Fusion is working on a competing tech... Did things go south at some point?

Anyswap really did disappoint many FSN holders that believed in their claim that Anyswap will eventually run on Fusion. Instead Anyswap launched its own token and went quiet on the promise of working with FSN...

Did anyone from the core team notice that VCs are attacking the .bit domain, currently trying to patent it?

https://domainnamewire.com/2022/11/08/more-companies-try-to-trademark-top-level-domains/

I wasn't able to locate the patent application. This is an especially sneaky attack on the old and established, 100% decentralized .bit of Namecoin. I'm wondering if the community should do anything.

Ποιος θα το έλεγε πως εκδήλωση για κρυπτονομίσματα που λαμβάνει χώρα με τις ευλογίες της κυβέρνησης της Νέας Δημοκρατίας έχει ομιλητές που είναι από δικής τους παραδοχής φασίστες...

Κείμενο από Indymedia:


Κρίμα που αυτήν την εικόνα έχει να προβάλει η Ελληνική κοινότητα κρυπτονομισμάτων... Η κυβέρνηση και οι διοργανωτές αν ήθελαν να δείξουν έστω την υποτυπώδη στήριξη στα crypto ας έβρισκαν σοβαρούς ομιλητές αντί για άτομα που βλέπουν την τεχνολογία του crypto ως μέσω για να εξαπλωθεί ο απολυταρχισμός...

Careful not to buy carded giftcards. Those can get revoked and then you'd be in trouble if you actually used them.

Good to read your response and also can't wait to see the proof of concept.

I was reading about FinaFex and I can say that the concept of a FIAT enabled exchange coming out of an ICO is especially interesting.
With such partnerships, it seems like the project would be in a good position to start supporting FIAT transactions. Right?
I see in the Roadman that the release of applications for the project is to happen early in the following year. Can't wait to see what this team will be able to bring out.

Μπορώ να το επιβεβαιώσω αυτό. Παλιά δεν δέχονταν αλλά άλλαξε.

Personally, I believe that life is beautiful, but people are complicated and wanted more and more in order to be happy. The meaning of life is to be happy with anything you have and with a lot of love. Do not forget the song of Jason Mraz - LIFE IS WONDERFUL !
