If I have found a block will that be in the debug report for namecoin.  What would it say in the debug log if this is true.  Thanks.

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

ok, so obviously, I'm dumb....

Where do I start.  I've been trying to follow http://dot-bit.org/InstallAndConfigureNamecoin with no success.

I've been messing with cmd, but don't know how to change "the directory it's referencing"

I think I used to be able to do that with \\E:/ or something liek that, but I'm drawing a blank. 

I think I have the whole blockchain downloaded, I'm just trying to get an address to be able to claim my merge namecoins on eligius.  heh.

Any help would be appreciated.

with all due respect, google sez there are GUIs for nameserver configuration.

Having said that, someone could adapt Crutches pseudo-gui I build for GG (which is 100% opensource thingie) for Namecoin, and add special tabs for "advanced" commands.

It only requires skills on the level of writing .bat files.
just do it, then
I mean you already know how to, I'm sure I could do it but I'd have to figure out how you did it

Where are you stuck? Namecoin uses a default directory, I don't know which is it in Windows but you shouldn't have to worry about that. What do you get with `namecoind getinfo`?

you need to know a little bit about the command promt to use it.

so you've downloaded namecoin, lets assume you have put it in c:\namecoin

start the command prompt (it should default to your user folder or similar) type cd.. and press enter, do this untill you get to the root, then type cd\namecoin and press enter

type namecoind and press enter this will run the program and you wont be able to do anything in that command prompt

start another commant promt and go to the directory, type namecoind help to see all the commands

type namecoind getnewaddress to get an address

type namecoind getinfo to see the version/block number etc etc

edit: this is for windows, i'm not sure if its any different in other OS

or just hold shift, right click and click open command prompt here when you're already in the folder

Do a `namecoind listtransactions`, you should see the generate transaction there. It takes 120 blocks for generation transactions to be confirmed.
