Namecoin is alive and kicking. It has been around a bit longer
than any of the other altcoins and certainly is the most innovative coin
after Bitcoin.
[...]
Note that there are more possibilities in Namecoin than domain name
resolution as it is a general name/value storage system. The community
is only starting to experiment with new ideas like IDs, logins,
TLS/https, Bitmessage integration, file verification and so on.
I agree that Namecoin is the most innovative after XBT and has a great potential yet to be explored. In order for that to happen, we just need more volunteers and core developers. And BTW, Bitmessage integration would be a GREAT boost to Namecoin's intrinsic value. Keep up the good work! |

This is just one of the projects that are actually not just under development but already working - the current release of Bitmessage already includes it.  |

What do you mean by "a fresh start"?  Did you mean a complete "reboot" of the coin's protocol and mining feature? |

So it is dead or can it be salvaged? Sorry, not technical here.
I think it can be salvaged. A particular block, well in the future, will have to be chosen. After that block, every name will have to be recomputed to determine its correct ownership under the new, correct, rules. At that time, all names will revert to their correct owners, and from then on, the exploit will be impossible. It's just going to take the Namecoin community to come together, agree on the new rules and block number, get the work done on time, and so on. Say I have some .bit registrations. Currently they could be stolen from me? Under above scenario, stolen registrations might be returned to me? - roll back name updates to the block date of the vulnerability announcement? (or thereabouts) |

Currently they could be stolen from me? Under above scenario, stolen registrations might be returned to me? - roll back name updates to the block date of the vulnerability announcement? (or thereabouts) Yes, more or less like that. The bug is that name_update operations are not checked and thus it is (with the old code) possible that someone updates a name to himself, and those transactions get relayed and even mined. However, it is not possible to hide the fact that this is an "invalid" operation. Thus it is easy, after the problem is fixed and the fix distributed, to decide which transactions should not be allowed and discard them. This is what will be done, so that you are right that if you (rightfully) own a name and it gets stolen, it will be returned to you - in the view of everyone who uses the updated client. But this includes fortunately no complete roll-back of all name transactions, since that is not necessary because it is possible to identify exactly the illicit ones. Only those will be reversed. |

No, you just can't transfer them to anyone else until a patch is released. |

The reason is because it is 3rd most valuable coin the market. Predicted this days ago: http://trollboxarchive.com/byid.php?id=22909914 |
