[snailbrain]

see forum.namecoin.info and namecoin.info for latest QT

OLD OUTDATED INFORMATION BELOW -

Namecoin-QT- (v3.72)
Chinese Translation Added 16/01/14 https://github.com/namecoin-qt/namecoin-qt
Binaries not updated yet.

always remember to backup your wallet
probably should wait until the whole blockchain has downloaded before doing anything (might take a while if it's your first time)

3.67
* listtransactions now includes name operations
* transaction details (double-click) show correct amounts for name operations
* added address column in the name table
* added address to the Configure Name dialog
* added red notice about 12 blocks delay to the Configure Name dialog
* "Expires in" now shows "pending" instead of empty cell
* value length in Configure Name limited to 519 bytes (due to limitation in CScript)
* HtmlEscape for names in the GUI


3.66
Fix crash on linux when daemon=1 is set in conf
Fix bug which required rescan to display correct listunspent after using importaddress
Added getrawmempool RPC

3.64
Various Bug fixes/improvements
JSON Validation Check
Configure names for .bit domains (d/<name>'s) is now much easier for the "standard user"..

3.63
-Namecoin GUI + branding
-Encrypt Wallet
-Added new RPC Commands (do a “help” in console or in namecoind, thanks to Nelisky for bounty)
-Namespace Registration
 -You can now register all names d/<name> (for .bit domains) or anything p/ tor/ id/ etc etc) in the GUI (see screenshot), http://dot-bit.org/Namespace
 -you may also update and change the name values (currently with JSON string - will hopefully add “.bit for dummies” soon)
 -Name_ops will all be visible in Transaction window.
 -Added Name Filter in Manage Names


Registering a name will automatically firstupdate after 12 blocks (or when you next open the client) - when you submit a new name, you do not own it until a successful firstupdate


if anyone would like to donate for the work done on the QT (and further development, state request), it would very much appreciated :

added Name Filter in manage names

[fendlestick]

Buying domains from the wallet is awesome! Excellent feature that is unique.

Cheers, very nice work! Thanks for saving me from the command line for the last coin I was stuck in daemon land for

yes it was painful.. hopefully will be a lot easier for most people...

we will remove having to type in a JSON string for d/<name>'s (.bit domains).. so you can just enter an IP address or nameservers etc
Soon.

this was pointed out by someone

http://www.aaronsw.com/weblog/squarezooko

no one seems to know who the creator was... Vinced

Rumours surfacing saying Satoshi himself, or Aaron (see link above, perfect description of NMC)

[marcus_of_augustus]

Good stuff.

[MaGNeT]

Looks great 

[PerfectAgent]

I love this thing, and I registered a domain! It's a lot easier than the command line one to be sure. I'm wondering though, I'm very new at all this stuff, but how do you point a domain at an existing site? Thanks!

[theBee2112]

Wow, this is perfect! Funny enough, I was looking for this yesterday. Glad to see a Qt finally came

[forsetifox]

Awesome job on this Snailbrain.

you need to enter a JSON string in the data box when you register/configure a domain..
we will simplify this soon

for now, you can find the correct values on here (near the bottom):

Awesome job on this Snailbrain. 

it's took many people to get this far, and my part has been the smallest ..

but thanks

[cassini]

how do you point a domain at an existing site? Thanks!

In short: it depends.

If you have a site with a fixed IP then try something like this:
'{\"map\":{\"\":\"193.99.144.85\",\"www\":\"193.99.144.85\"}}'


If you already own a .com or similar, you may try:
'{\"translate\":\"www.example.com.\"}'
(don't forget the dot at the end!)


If you have only a dynamic IP, e.g. a PC at home running a web server, or a NAS, you may need to register with a dns service and figure out how to dynamically update the current IP (many WLAN routers offer an option for updating the IP to the dns service). One of the free services is dtdns.net, and your entry would look like this:
'{\"translate\":\"my_webserver_at_home.dtdns.net.\"}'
(again, do not forget the dot.)

With an empty wallet, trying to register a domain doesn't tell me how much I need, it just says fee is 0.
