A good recent real-world example of why you probably wouldn't want to use Namecoin for timestamping, with OpenTimestamps being a more scalable alternative:

https://projecttimestamper.org/

This kind of large-scale operation would be prohibitively expensive with Namecoin, whereas OpenTimestamps makes it so cheap that Peter can fund the transactions with donations. The developers do give a shout-out to Namecoin for PKI purposes, which is cool. Use the right tool for the job!

If Namecoin were listed on binance, it would go to $1000.

BasicSwap is way cooler than Binance. And... they just added Namecoin! (Yes, we do engage in outreach to exchanges; this is a good result of those efforts.)

https://basicswapdex.com/

Apart from bisq where the liquidity wasn't that deep for namecoin a while back I checked I was looking to atomic swap some of my Monero for Namecoin, but was hesitant might try basicswapdex.

Have you given it a go if so, how's the experience? Would it be best to join their matrix to get help getting started instead of jumping right in appreciate it

Is it relate to namecoin?

Nope, its an Ethereum L2

"14 years of research and development and we have basically gone back to Namecoin", LOL

Ha, I think I laughed a bit too much on this one thanks buddy Grin coming full circle you think they would of at least used ethereum shades of colour.

Namecoin has been underappreciated for far too long.  When you look at the statistics, it's dumbfounding why it isn't valued 100x higher.  I think it's the result of several unique market factors like merged mining causing constant dumping by pools, lack of advertising, prior performance assumed to be future performance, and lots of undeveloped potential.

I would add the ethereum,Dao/ICO mania didn't help and took the lime light.

the average investor in crypto ups their IQ a bit

Says a lot about the average investor/crypto space doesn't it  Roll Eyes

It was recently rated the #60 crypto coin by an independent rating team and if it were to realize that position as a market cap, it would be trading at $200 per coin.

That's interesting they gave it a rating where it would trade at $200 because a lot of the crypto space likes to compare their chain with the other, But I like to compare it to the actual industry it's targeting for example according to Datanyze both Godaddy and Cloudfare seem to have in total around 2/3 of the DNS market share.

Godaddy & Cloudfare's companies worth totals around $55 billion. If Namecoin was to take just 10% of that share i.e 5.5 billion divided by the supply would give us around $261 a coin.

Jokes aside $200 is a very conservative price and $2000 wouldn't be unrealistic either. If Namecoin was to takeover the market share of those two companies, then we would just need to 10x with a price of over $2600. Also even if Bitcoin went to $200,000 and Namecoin at $2000 we would still have a respectable satoshi price of 0.01.

Bear in mind I haven't factored in the remaining 1/3 market share which consisted of Amazon, Google etc.

Right well anyways.

Good to see there's still active development in this coin even though the trade volume is almost nil. Given what just happened with Counterparty (XCP) recently, anything's possible for one of the first, functional altcoins. Here's hoping it enjoys some sort of renaissance.

Allegedly or not if this starts a snowball effect in the near future, then better get those cheap Namecoins while you can because ohh baby

Soo Namecoin code in sync with bitcoin core

https://twitter.com/XAYA_tech/status/1389189769071104010

Hash rate - BTC Around 180 EH, NMC Around 120 EH

BTC $56,000 and Namecoin $2.20

Need I say more  Cool

Have the devs thought of shooting a coin request to Bittrex to add Namecoin as they have Peercoin and litecoin. So why not add namecoin too could be an OG revival sort of thing that could stir up a bit of attention amongst the pile of new shiny crap

https://www.reddit.com/r/Namecoin/comments/b9xlpp/adding_namecoin_to_exchanges/
    
How can we add Namecoin to exchanges like Binance, Bittrex or Bitfinex?

"Personally I think my time is better spent on adding Namecoin to decentralized exchanges like Bisq. That said, I certainly don't have any objection to other people spending time lobbying centralized exchanges to list Namecoin."

I agree, but just a thought.

In all honesty I prefer Namecoin being quietly developed than to have high market attention for now, than have the developers being bombarded with speculators. You think the Ethereum developers are genuinely happy with development as the coins making new highs  Cheesy


https://twitter.com/halvves/status/1363905211002220548/photo/1

and I guess when they say used to love Namecoin project. Translation because coin went down in price, but doesn't screenshot reasons why namecoin is not loved. At least they screenshot ethereums dns issues so I give em that.

Cool oh not everyone I am excited. If litecoin is just a test net for bitcoin and they say it should be 0.25btc then judging by the total xcp supply from coingecko of 2649272 It should be priced around 7.92btc per xcp. Long and strong.
