[announce] Namecoin - a distributed naming system based on Bitcoin

[BayAreaCoins]

What a fucking loser weirdo... I'm just going to start reporting their laughable wannabe internet extortionists posts.

Just ignore and report TradeRunner until they leave.

Namecoin is no longer supported in Coinomi wallet.

[biolizard89]

Another progress update on Tor Browser (for Windows) support, this time some work by yanmaani on building CPython for Windows with reproducible builds via rbm.

[mishax1]

So Coinomi dropped NMC and now you need to extract the private key and sweep it to another wallet, yet net not even namecoin core has this ability in it's GUI.

Oh and Namecoin Core stops downloading the blockchain after a few megabytes, and needs to be restarted all the time to resume.

Which version of Namecoin Core are you using?  The "stops downloading after a couple thousand blocks" issue sounds like a SegWit-related bug that was fixed long ago (but that fix was merged after the name tab beta came out).  If your intent is to move coins from Coinomi to Core, I'd assume the name tab beta isn't really the right version for you (since Coinomi never supported names).

Namecoin Core version nc0.13.99-name-tab-beta1 (64-bit)

[werghb4562]

Try version 0.19.0.1. It should sync much faster. There is also Electrum-NMC from the beta downloads page which may allow you to import the seed from coinomi.

Why bother? Namecoin is going nowhere anyway.Nobody uses . bit for anything and the price and trading action is crap making the coin a worthless investment.

I think that nothing will happen with coins like Namecoin. It's not just an altcoin ... it's history. This is a kind of brand in the world of cryptocurrencies and sooner or later the price of this coin will recover!

Exactly, coins like Namecoin have a long history that has gone through time to test their useful existence, they are essential to the crypto market. Before it was ICO time, now defi but old coins are still solid and they will recover.

Right now, NameCoin have the mining difficulty and network-hashrate almost as Bitcoin, and cost $0.57.
It seems like, a real price, economically justified price, for bitcoin is ~$1-2, because of this.

It should be noted that Namecoin is "merge mined" with Bitcoin.  This means the Bitcoin miners secure the Namecoin network and use no more electricity or work than they would just mining Bitcoin alone.

Hope that helps... Namecoin is still a great buy though IMO.

If namecoin mining is profitable for miners,
and if miners prefer to do mining NameCoin better than just buy this,
this means miners so poor, to do not let themself to buy NMC,
and because of this, keeping hashrate of bitcoin is not so hard,
using just a corresponding investments, like in already exists in this NMC, or that ETH.

  namecoin and the word investment should never be used in the same sentence unless the word "worst ever" is before investment because it has done nothing since its inception apart from lose value to bitcoin.It truly is the worst "investment" ever.The coins price and the liquidity for the namecoin market is a complete joke.

I guess you are just trolling.  But just in case this isn't clear, Namecoin's main purpose is (unlike most other altcoins/tokens) not to be an investment, but to be actually useful as decentralised domain name and general naming system.

Still holding my namecoins and looking to buy a few thousands more. Glad the price didn't go up as I can accumulate at cheaper prices  Namecoin is here to stay and has dedicated devs and people and not your casual scammers, ferrari dreamers techbros.
