i do like the way luke-jr does this.. it'll promote the overlooked signing feature...
and its really VERY VERY easy to fire up an ubuntu vm and to compile 0.5 (i described it a few post above)

Your being an OS racist by making us give a bitcoin signed message to add a namecoin address ! How many windows users have the neccesary compilers and libraries to compile their own binary?

How many Windows users have namecoin? At the time, it was my understanding (from the Namecoin docs) that only Linux was supported.

Since the password field is not being used why not have the namecoin wallet address input as that?

That might be an option when the rewrite is done with an automated infrastructure, but wouldn't help for past work/shares, and not viable for doing payouts by hand. Also, there'd be no way for miners to confirm their software is submitting it properly (many cut off username+password too short for two addresses)

Windows has been supported for months, http://dot-bit.org/Main_Page listed under downlaods.  It is CLI though and not a GUI but still a windows program.

gotcha,

personally I have a ubuntu partition and its no big deal for me to compile this, I was talking more in general about windows users.

and yes there is namecoin wallet for windows, is command line only just like linux.

I am on windows and collecting namecoin. would love to have this implemented on this pool. as not found another decent size pool using smpps and offering merged mining yet.

[cablepair]

Managed to get a cross-compiled static EXE for Windows users; it's linked from the 2nd page of the registration (ie, when you need to use it).

Awesome!

Thanks for putting it up, and thanks to whoever compiled it as well.

will this force me to convert the wallet with my current pool btc address to bitcoin client v0.5rc?

You can leave your existing bitcoin client alone.  Copy the wallet.dat to another machine with bitcoin client 0.5, do the signature, then destroy the copy of the wallet.dat.

Or if you don't have a separate machine/VM, then just backup your current bitcoin data directory and bitcoin installation and restore it after you finish messing with bitcoin 0.5.

thanx. should have thought of that 

using local data directory ( -datadir=data ) and copied blockchain already...

eligius keeps giving me a malformed signature error message, any ideas?

[cablepair]

nevermind I figured it out, I was pasting it into and out of getdiz which was adding something to it,

thanks anyways

[cablepair]

I did that, too... in case you wanted to donate for it

The wallet format only changed between 0.3.x and 0.4.x; 0.5.x does not change it. Either way, backup your old wallet-- I take no responsibility if it gets corrupted through some weird bug.
