[datguywhowanders]

Also, how can I view my namecoin address?

If there's still a problem with Diablo, you should try poclbm, worked fine for me. It took about 20 minutes to download the blockchain

To see namecoin address and amount on it : ./namecoind listreceivedbyaddress 0 true

[datguywhowanders]

I'm assuming there's a similar command to send namecoins?

Is there some decent documentation on the commands that go with namecoin/bitcoin on the command line?

Has anyone made an OS X compiled namecoin client so non coders like me can Do some mining?

Cheers

Just did that, but I get another error:

i am trying to get the client running on windows, but i am running into some problems

I followed steps 1-4 of the guide http://dot-bit.org/InstallAndConfigureNamecoin

After starting Namecoind.exe the dos box displays the following message.

"Bitcoin: Warning: Please check that you computer's data and time are correct. If your clock is wrong bitcoin will not start properly"

i changed my date and time settings to English (US); no effect

-running Windows 7 32 Bit
-Bitcoin client is starting and running without a problem

debug.log is full of messages

-connecting to IRC
-downloading stuff...

the dos box never allows me to add commands, therefore i cannot complete the remaining steps

I wan't to run a Namecoin DNS Server on my VPS and on my server here on Chile, how I can do it? Maybe i'm blind but i can't find a way to do it yet.

You need build miniupnp first.
Read file "build-unix.txt" in namecoin source dir
for namecoin build requirements.

I give up, too many errors for me. Maybe someone will post a complete install guide...


root@nmcpc:/usr/local/miniupnpd-1.5.20110528# make -f Makefile.linux install

Take a walk and have some coffee.  Namecoin is worth the effort.

I'll help by offering 1 BTC to the first person to write a complete Namecoin installation guide.

[Crs]

I know it worths the effort, but I can't seem to make it work on linux, on windows it's ok, but my cards are on the linux machine...
I'll give it another try tomorow.
Just opened a thread for the install guide bounty. Post your pledge here: http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=14787.0

Thanks.

Install the required prequisites mentioned in the build-unit.txt documentation. Build with:

make -f makefile.unix USE_UPNP=

I'm very excited by the Namecoin project. I pointed ~300Mh/s at the network last night. By mid-morning today I had a message of "1 ACCEPTED" on my miner. Now when I use namecoind getinfo, I still see a 0.000000 balance. What's up with that? What am I missing?

[wachtwoord]

Similar question here. If my bitcoin.conf in the C:\Users\****\AppData\Roaming\Namecoin ha the following in it:

rpcuser=your_user
rpcpassword=your_pass
rpcport=8336
daemon=1

And I run phoenix.exe with the following info:

phoenix.exe -u http://your_user:your_pass@localhost:8336/ device=0 -k phatk VECTORS BFI_INT AGGRESSION=11 FASTLOOP=false WORKSIZE=128

is it mining solo for my account? It seems to work because it says disconnected from server when I stop namecoind from running. However when I type:

namecoind.exe listreceivedbyaddress 0 true
[
    {
        "address" : "ADDRESS1",
        "account" : "",
        "label" : "",
        "amount" : 0.00000000,
        "confirmations" : 0
    },
    {
        "address" : "ADDRESS2",
        "account" : "this",
        "label" : "this",
        "amount" : 0.00000000,
        "confirmations" : 0
    }
]

1) To which address am I mining?
2) How the hell did I get 2 addresses? I was messing around with the commands to find how the hell I could find my address back for later reference and probably ended up making a second. Very weird.
3) Why do I have two accounts? What does that even mean I only have one wallet.dat for Namecoin.....
4) what are the arguments of listreceivedbyaddress?

Note: this is quite complicated without a command line help function for the different functions.

[datguywhowanders]

According to the Namecoin wiki, the address naming convention for Namecoin addresses has changed to now have them start with an N or M. The Mac Binary I have only provides addresses that start with a 1. Will these still work?

[khal]

Use : namecoind listtransactions
That's the only way to view immature blocks. They will appear in your balance 120 blocks after being discovered.

To view the help, use : namecoind help <command>


1) To which address am I mining?
One of the 2 default addresses (or another one still not visible). No problem.

2) How the hell did I get 2 addresses? I was messing around with the commands to find how the hell I could find my address back for later reference and probably ended up making a second. Very weird.
A new address is generated each send/receive transaction, so you will get more.
Use : "namecoind help" to see all commands.

3) Why do I have two accounts? What does that even mean I only have one wallet.dat for Namecoin.....
Accounts are tags to group balances of several addresses together and view result with "namecoind listaccounts". You can create the number of accounts you want so, they are all in your wallet.

4) what are the arguments of listreceivedbyaddress?

Code:

./namecoind help listreceivedbyaddress
listreceivedbyaddress [minconf=1] [includeempty=false]
[minconf] is the minimum number of confirmations before payments are included.
[includeempty] whether to include addresses that haven't received any payments.
Returns an array of objects containing:
  "address" : receiving address
  "account" : the account of the receiving address
  "amount" : total amount received by the address
  "confirmations" : number of confirmations of the most recent transaction included

datguywhowanders > yes, but if you find a new mac binary, say it to me, i'll add it to the dot-bit wiki

[wachtwoord]

Thanks for the explanation.

I knew about namecoind help, I was just hoping for a help for each command (like namecoind commandname help).

Now let's see if i can mine some namecoins @ 242 Mhash

[elpresidente]

When I try to send NMC with namecoind sendtoaddress <address> 50 I get an error message of "Invalid Bitcoin Address". Any suggestions? I've done some googling and haven't found any thing to try.

You will be credited 50 NMC when the block you generated is confirmed. Your block is considered confirmed after 120 more blocks have been generated after yours. It takes about 18-20 hrs.
