I will sticky the thread on December 12th or 13th, so people will have a few days to make appropriate actions. If the retarget date changes, I'd appreciate it if someone would update me.

I really had big hopes on nmc.

The great idea behind Namecoin lives on! This is another step forward.

** spread the word about the update **

Hash rate is increasing quite rapidly atm.. if it keeps increasing the date could be brought forward quite a lot

[ninjarobot]

IMHO it's the easiest way we can contribute to the idea behind Namecoin, especially since I have zero technical background knowledge. I noticed there were very few donations at all, even after the bug and it's immediate workaround became public. The development of BTC did a great favor for many of us and I want Namcoin to succeed, too. So once more it's up to the noble.

cheers

try that one should be the same..

or you can compile yourself.. just download the repo as zip, unzip, run _all_easywinbuilder.bat (or something liek that from the contrib folder)

follow instructions.. (courtesy of phelix)
