We have just finalised Namecoin Core 0.18.0: https://github.com/namecoin/namecoin-core/releases/tag/nc0.18.0

This is based on the recently-released Bitcoin Core 0.18.0 and thus includes a lot of new features (e.g. improved multi-wallet support) in addition to some Namecoin-specific changes.

Important:  This release schedules a softfork at mainnet height 475,000 (expected to be mined in about half a year from now), which will finally activate BIP16 (P2SH) and Segwit.  Everyone should update as soon as possible.

NMC is a great coin.    

As one of the first altcoins, "NMC is a great coin!", but...
It is merge-mined with BTC and some people just dump it asap. Also the domain reg never caught on. Still NMC could come back strong someday.

it depends largely on the team itself. The situation, that has developed is a matter for both the cryptomarket, and users and, of course, the team. if the latter wanted to improve her project - they would do it. and of course, the corresponding actions aimed at improving would raise the price of the coin.

So should I buy back because there seems to be deving and we are just leaving on one market place? So there is working wallet and everything? Does this ever going to be what is should be (domain reg)? This is on good buy level thinking about tech and years to be in crypto. NMC isn´t shitcoin, but if there is no future, ofcourse this is not what you want to hodl. Been NMC since something, but sell my coins already when I get email from polo and searching today infos about NMC.

polo claims to be so into innovation and progress yet remove one of the most useful original coins conceived by satoshi himself..just wow ~ what retards! :\ meh

Southexchange is way better - https://www.southxchange.com/Market/Book/NMC/BTC

Can't rely on Livecoin deposits, they say 6 confirms, and then it takes over 20 confirms until the funds are added to your account and they say "it's not our problem, it's the network"

Always liked this project, glad it's still alive

Is that a new exchange ..I don't see it listed on coinmarketcap? Livecoin has higest volume still even if its a pathetic amount.

It's an exchange from 2015 based in Argentina , the best part is - they have instant Lightning Network Bitcoin deposits

Yup using latest version 3.3.6 on windows (have tried every type) and cannot connect to anything.I have ran electrum versions of other altcoins and bitcoin while waiting and they all work no problem.Issue lies solely with the namecoin client.

Seems like todays crypto is shiting on everyone that doesent want to play their game,game of CZ,bitfinex, craig wright and the others.if we look at the top projects nowdays they arent better then this one,they just have a lot of money so they can use it to advertise 0-24,got listed on 100 exchanges,and cheat people(i am not talking about BTC).projects like this will stay here in the dark untill all this shit goes to hell,i rly hope tether will fall one day soon.also binance.many people will know what i am talking about.i actualy found out this coin have a same troubles like peer coin(both crypto pioneers),i am following both but i am not investing,untill people start to think different,and start to invest in rly value.the only thing that u can do i guess is keep doing what u r doing,and wait.

I will trade you a fun fact for a list of working electrum servers.

Namecoin's first commit was in August of 2009 and has had contributions from notable Bitcoin core devs such as @gavinandresen, @TheBlueMatt, @jgarzik, @pwuille.Satoshi proposed BitDNS which became namecoin.In fact one of his last posts on http://bitcointalk.org  was supporting the idea of Namecoin/BitDNS and recommending improvements to it.

Namecoin has done nothing only lose value against Bitcoin since it's first inception.Its economic model is its achilles heel.

Electrum wallet still won't grab any connections

I downloaded the NMC wallet to encourage the network. Are you planning to update the current wallet? The version looks a bit old, but works very well.

Which version did you download?  Namecoin Core is kept up-to-date with latest Bitcoin changes, and the latest version v0.18.0 is on par with Bitcoin 0.18.0.

There is also an old version based on 0.13, but with a beta patch to allow name management through the UI.  If you use that version, then yes, it is old - but unfortunately you either have to stick with the old version for now if you need UI name management, or you can upgrade to the latest version and use the CLI or RPC interfaces for name management.

If your main goal is to support the network without handling names yourself, then please go with the latest 0.18.0 version.

Is namecoin dead now there is no liquidity or volume or any decent exchanges to trade on? Why will electrum wallet not connect? TIA
