Namecoin Happy Halving Day is coming soon, but Namecoin is forgotten by the community. Why?
1 Because it was created as an experimental project that simply didn't get much traction.
2 Because it's merge-mineable, that means:
a) miners/pools get it as an extra and are happy to dump it at whatever cost
b) average person can't afford to mine it anymore
That being said, NMC is doing better than I expected. I thought it's almost completely forgotten, but the value holds above $1 and there's even some activity on their
subreddit. Perhaps there is market for vintage coins after all.
