[ANN][NMC] Namecoin Wallet (QT) with integrated Name Registration v3.75

[snailbrain]

Vanitygen with -N or -X 52 gives private keys that your Namecoin-qt says are invalid.

should work now...
https://github.com/namecoin-qt/namecoin-qt/commit/7531fc61028378a40fb0776bacd1c4c5f2a6a4a6

SO MANY WARNINGS.

While building? Ever built Bitcoin?

SO MANY WARNINGS.

While building? Ever built Bitcoin?

Yeah, doesn't have anywhere near this amount of warnings.

Not sure there is so much of a difference (besides no-warning options maybe). Anyway, the warnings can hide real problems so I would like to get rid of them, too. Unfortunately that will take a while.

You are more than welcome to help on the rebase towards the latest Bitcoin versions....  or anything else

Hey guys, I'd like to build a release of namecoin-qt for my project, but on the Github page there hasn't been a new release made since last year (only commits), no tags either. I'd really rather build the stable code than latest commits. Any ideas how can I get a particular release?

Are there ways to earn this coin without mining, maybe by writing?

I think DVC is the only coin that does that.

No, Digicoin lets you write 10 articles for some coin, and Sexcoin says they give coins for porn reviews. I'm sure there are a few more out there, just trying to find them.

Plus, maybe there are people who have been mining an alt coin since day 1 and have a huge extra stock, and maybe I give them a good idea.

what kind of stuff would you like to write about? I could put a up a bounty for some quality technical writing for the namecoin wiki for example.

I don't know if I could do technical writing, like code or what? I don't know any code.

can write about anything that there is information out there about.

This is really sweet, thanks!

Is there a Windows binary available of the latest version? (I found one for 3.67 but not later.)

Thanks!

Being just programming savvy enough to usually get myself into trouble I for one would love a 'Howto .bit for absolute morons' with examples on the entire process for setting up a .bit domain with forward for existing .com etc. domain

Where I am currently:

1. I have registered the .bit domain through the newest QT wallet. It reports that both name_firstname and name_newname transactions are done
2. I used the {\"translate\":\"www.example.com.\"} variable to set the .bit name to a currently existing and live website address
3. ??

I assume from what I can tell that I need to set nameservers. Problem is, what name servers?

About that last question; is it ok to get the nameservers from 'dig' - commands 'authority' section?

The latest version of Bitmessage (v0.4.0) has now a function to use/connect to Namecoin

[bitpop]

Will it use my local daemon?

Yes

[bitpop]

Can you use it without a daemon and give it a dns server?

Let me quess; it is NOT ok. And if it is not ok, the documentation should be fixed ASAP, before the namecoin block chain is filled with bogus, not working tried-to-translate DNS settings.

Documentation does not specify what the DNS is for; is it to handle the .bit query or is it for handling the translated query. My first quess was that it is for handling the translated query, but maybe it is not and it should also be capable of handling .bit TLD also? Maybe it is the DNS server that *should* make the actual translation? The documentation does not help here, too lazy to start reading the source or white papers..

[phelix]

No, the dns server will not serve the bitmessage addresses.

It would be nice to have a lite Namecoin client or a "name server" but these are not yet available. Khal made a suggestion to use NMControl with static data and run the client once a day or so to export name data.

[bitpop]

Alright how do I make my dns record?
