Pro Tip: If you really want to help the project and have something to contribute, go to where the devs are, rather than creating some new spot and expecting them to come to you.

I'll do! Let's make Namecoin great again... Someone bought a bunch on polo earlier on, promising!

[lankyman]

Hi, i dont understand this, where do i download the wallet for windows.
I have one installed and it doesnt want to synch BUT mire important it says beta and it says i must not use it for merchant apps and also not for mining,
what the hell

[Alexoz]

Yes, you should be careful using a wallet at this point keep your funds on polo... or other exchanges

So i initially started getting an account / bit coin addy at www.luno.com because it is available in my country, im really unsure about others, i am still new to this game.
Then on a forum, and i think it was even here, this one guy told me it is actually better to have a wallet on your machine rather than on an online exchange?

So now what ?

I assume you mean by this statement that lankyman should be careful at this moment when using a real wallet, until he has gained some understanding and experience in the crypto world?

In general, it is a very good idea to keep coins in your own wallet, and not on an exchange.  While I would trust Poloniex more than a lot of other exchanges (and personally have some coins there), it is always a good idea in cryptoland to hold your private keys yourself rather than entrusting them to a third party!

[Alexoz]

For sure! Hardware wallets are the best!

[Alexoz]

Looks good!

[ari015]

That good i will try this

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

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 :

In light of BTC potentially splitting soon. what happens to namecoin? Do you keep merge mining on BTC classic or whatever it will be called? Will miners who want namecoin on the segwit chain need to update their software? If there is no consensus on which bitcoin chain to use for namecoin, and people end up mining both, do we then end up with 2 namecoins??

Both chains will be able to merge mine Namecoin, and the Namecoin network will accept both.  The only thing that matters for a valid aux proof-of-work for Namecoin is that you have a block header with good enough PoW hash.  The header doesn't need to be part of the Bitcoin blockchain (in fact, many that meet the NMC difficulty but not Bitcoin's aren't), so it does not really matter if the Bitcoin network splits.
