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

[biolizard89]

In late 2022 - early 2023, we took on an intern (Robert) under Tor Project's umbrella to work on SocksTrace, a proxy leak mitigation tool with wide-ranging applicability across the privacy space. We're super excited to report that NLnet's NGI0 Core Fund has just awarded funding for Robert and me to continue development of SocksTrace. Contributing to the broader ecosystem is a core part of Namecoin's activities (we don't just maintain a blockchain).

I think Biggest Problem for Namecoin is Exchange Exposure, since SouthXchange Shut Down!

CoinEX and Freiexchange aren't very popular since SBF crashed Crypto for a Season or 2!


And the other Exchange is some type of Russian Scam Site that doesn't Allow Withdrawing Namecoin!

Can anyone help to get Namecoin listed on binance?
 This great project is so under-marketed!

Lol namechain the namecoin

[coincidence9]

Namecoin requires aggressive marketing and listing on a large exchange.
But there is no marketing team in namecoin, there are only developers.
It would be great to have a big sponsor for Nmc.

Without a few genius developers like Biolizard89, this project would have been completely forgotten.

Ha, I think I laughed a bit too much on this one thanks buddy coming full circle you think they would of at least used ethereum shades of colour.

Ideas of utilizing namecoins

Like managing all bank accounts in one application
Integrated wallet address such as

Michael.xmr
Michael.bit

Can I buy Namecoin in the U.S.?
Please let me know if you know.

You should be able to buy from Coinex but may need a VPN.

And I really wish these devs would stop gaslighting us about why they've made no effort to get this coin listed onto a few more exchanges. Literally every single time I've ever brought this up I've never heard a truly logical explanation. Like I've heard excuses but never any good ones???

I really hope namecoin listing other major exchange.
If coinex suddenly close, namecoin can also disappear..

When I asked Jeremy about this issue, his development team said they were asked for money to list on the exchange.

In my opinion, Namecoin developers are mostly volunteers and lack the funds to list on the exchange....
Namecoin needs a big sponsor!

You can buy them on freiexchange. Freiexchange are good peeples.

freiexchange, coinex has no trading volume, so trading there is risky. That's why binance listing is necessary.

[coincidence9]

There are a lot of fake namecoins on Twitter (like namecoin_SOL). What should we do?

Yes the volume is not great these days anywhere but the major advantage of using freiexchange is that your corn is super safe there and with whats coming down the line it will be this advantage that matters the most to peeple who leave their corn on an exchange

The only three blockchain projects to attend 38C3 are Ethereum(#2), Monero(#44), and Namecoin(#1018)!

After all these years how much impact have you managed to have on the trading volume at FreiExchange?

My own experience market-making on a small scale leads me to think that even just all by yourself you probably ought to have been able to have a noticeable impact, and of course if anyone thinks as you do, that is, that more volume is needed, and also acted upon that thought, between the lot of you you ought to have been able to build at least enough volume to adequately service one-another's trading-NMC needs.

Namecoin is one of the classic ancient grass-roots free-open-source crypto projects, instead of going begging to the venture capital community or whatever it seems to me to make sense to simply pull your weight as a member of the community, you might be surprised how much difference you can actually make...

Unfortunately I am currently already occupied on FreiExchange building the order-books for IXCoin and I0Coin so might be a while before I can jump in to help but in all these years I haven't looked yet at NMC but would expect it is already much higher volume there than IXCoin and I0Coin simply because it presumably has a more active community?

Hope that NMC will not be the next target for fraudsters after Luckycoin (LKY).
The coin had been mined for years being one of the oldest chains with more than 1.5 million blocks, and someone "revived" it and forked from the block 81,743 from 2013, under LKY original name and logo. Coinmarketcap updated LKY information with the fraud that left many miners and investors without their coins, being accumulated in 2014-2019.

Be careful, to avoid the same scenario.
