I've recently been looking deeper into
Namecoin and its history.
I noticed that the Namecoin/NMC name is still being used by various unrelated projects, while a lot of people don't actually know much about the original project, its history, or the people who built it.
That made me curious whether I could actually get in contact with someone involved with the original Namecoin project.
I eventually managed to get in contact with
Daniel Kraft (domob) from the Namecoin team.
During our conversation, the possibility of receiving donations through Solana came up.
Solana donation address:Cju7GuhLPjCsneMBkwSkY7bS2xNLg391co1Zr13tDZ3W
The important part is that nobody has to trust me, this post, or screenshots to verify the address.
Daniel signed a message confirming that the address is controlled by him and that funds sent to it will be treated as donations to the Namecoin project.
