Am I correct in assuming that the purpose of this coin is similar to some kind of decentralized GoDaddy?

Not GoDaddy but more like a decentralized ICANN; DNS. "Namecoin is an experimental open-source technology which improves decentralization, security, censorship resistance, privacy, and speed of certain components of the Internet infrastructure such as DNS and identities..." "Namecoin was the first fork of Bitcoin and still is one of the most innovative “altcoins”. It was first to implement merged mining and a decentralized DNS. Namecoin was also the first solution to Zooko’s Triangle, the long-standing problem of producing a naming system that is simultaneously secure, decentralized, and human-meaningful." https://www.namecoin.org/

That said, I see plenty of room for diversification into identity-related applications. Daniel Kraft's NameID is a really cool proof of concept; I have some ideas on how it could be improved. There are several other use case ideas that have been thrown around, and just no one has had a chance to work on them yet.

ICO s raising mountains of money these days off the backs of bitcoin,namecoin et al=greed is good and it pays the bills while selfless opensource projects struggle for funds and fizzle out.Look at all these gold toothed gangsta rich ICO rappers stomping about the place after swapping the jungle juice and koolade for remy martin and chateau de whorehouse.Namecoin needs some of that ICO action and raise a few hundred mill for some namebooty.

I must admit I'm mildly skeptical about short-lived marketing campaigns for altcoins. Most of them fail because they seem to expect "immediate results", or call it "a quick buck". If Alexoz has an elaborate idea how to attract long-term attention to Namecoin, though, then I'd say welcome to the team.

Some links for the interested, no idea if this stuff works https://dotbit.me/http://dns.dot-bit.org/ old website needs to be updated https://bit.namecoin.org/A few of 'Satoshi's' last quotes regarded what turned into Namecoin @dtvan: all 3 excellent points. 1) IP records don't need to be in the chain, just do registrar function not DNS. And CA problem solved, neat. 2) Pick one TLD, .web +1. 3) Expiration and significant renewal costs, very important. However, thinking more about this now I support inclusion of additional coinbases / tracking systems in the main network. The reason for doing this is so as not to water down CPU power into multiple networks. We want one strong network, so the network should be versatile.
Avoiding CPU power fragmentation is no longer a reason. Independent networks/chains can share CPU power without sharing much else. See: http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1790.msg28696#msg28696 and http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1790.msg28715#msg28715In September 2010 a discussion was started in the Bitcointalk forum about a hypothetical system called BitDNS and generalizing bitcoin, based on a talk at IRC at 14 November 2010. Gavin Andresen and Satoshi Nakamoto joined the discussion in the Bitcointalk forum and supported the idea of BitDNS. A reward for implementing BitDNS was announced at the Bitcointalk forum in December 2010. Soon a developer decided to implement this idea to earn this reward. On April 18, 2011 Namecoin was introduced by Vinced (Rumored to be Vincent Durham) as a multipurpose and distributed naming system based on bitcoin. It was inspired by the BitDNS discussion on the Bitcointalk forum. WikiLeaks mentioned the project via Twitter in June 2011.
Is it required to download the Namecoin blockchain to resolve .bit addresses? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.bitIf there is some portal that easily connects .bit to other internets?

You don't start a "new" thread for a coin like Namecoin.  You start "another" thread/ Namecoin preceded Litecoin, and aside from bitcoin it probably had the most input from 'Satoshi Nakamota' of any coin. Also, this coin does not need 'marketing' in the sense of 'selling' it, the problem is that people don't know about it so it needs awareness built. If it really is able to build a censorship free internet that anybody can afford, that is enough. For people who support censorship, unfortunately that includes a lot of people, some discussion has to be made to help them be less dangerous to people who believe in liberty. Some of their arguments are valid, e.g. people will sell drugs, abuse children, hire hitmen etc, but those things happen already and the solution is not to silence anybody. New developers should add more features to Namecoin's network.
