Hello,
Does .bit domain just support tor hidden service?
And how can i configure my domain .bit to redirect to "example.com" via JSON with name_update? Does the namecoin support only ip/ip6? How can do the redirect with JSON value?
Thanks

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.
Advertised sites are not endorsed by the Bitcoin Forum. They may be unsafe, untrustworthy, or illegal in your jurisdiction.

Not yet. I'll web available in the next domain spec and implemented in software proxies (DNS won't be able to support that).

And how can i configure my domain .bit to redirect to "example.com" via JSON with name_update?
Redirect is not possible without a web hosting that does the redirect. I offer this service with a new domain here : http://register.dot-bit.org/, else 1BTC/year.
Another solution is to wait for the next spec and configure alias and translate, then, if you can add yourdomain.bit to your current web hosting, you can do what you want, if you can add the .bit domain... (not allowed by a lot of web hosting)
You can already do that but putting the ip address of your web server (or ns servers) and configure your web hosting (same remark).

Does the namecoin support only ip/ip6?
Current spec supports only ipv4 in records, but using the ns record will allow you to use ipv6 (see http://dot-bit.org/Domain_names).

How can do the redirect with JSON value?
Using ip or ns, and then configure your web hosting, if possible.

is there a guide on how to download, and set this up and running that most users can understand?
Like http://forum.bitcoin.org/?topic=7514.0

Ok got it..i have only a few other questions (for the future)..

Uhm..so when i will do name_update on my domain with a tor hidden service i have only to do { "map": { "" : "torhiddenservice.onion"}} to map everything to the hidden service OR i just do "{ "tor"     : "eqt5g4fuenphqinx.onion" } without adding anything else to resolve example.bit to the hidden service?

About the resolution of a .bit pointed to a tor hidden service..if i will point my .bit to an hidden service i will only be able to resolve it using the namecoin client due to DNS can't solve right?

Last: When i'm connected to Tror i can't resolve .bit domain (i think of course cause the exit node haven't opennic dns set up) but is there (or will) a way that let me browse .bit from Tor?

Thanks!

I get what bitcoins are, but could somebody explain namecoin to me as if I were a child..??  Please assume that I don't know anything technical, but that I understand things like what the internet is and what an URL is.  I very much want to know what this is but apparently I'm much dumber than I thought.

You might think of it as 'bitcoin2', in that it's another, separate, p2p currency.

This 'bitcoin2' that has been called Namecoin, has specific properties which allow you to use your balance to register a new type of domain name (.bit, plus more varieties to be added in future).

I think it will be a bit easier to grasp once it has a good GUI, but as far as I know, people are still doing everything in Namecoin via command line.

i'm bitcoin poor but i'll give .5 btc for a setup walkthrough for namecoin on windows 7, just pm me a link when one is written and i'll send you the BTC

Here's a rough guide:
1) Download the binaries. On Windows 7, the Download folder works fine as a place to keep the files, and where I'll assume they're located.


2) Unzip the binaries, and launch the command prompt (On Windows 7, search for CMD.exe).


3) In the command prompt, type
Code:
cd Downloads\namecoin

Replace namecoin with whatever the folder holding the namecoind.exe program is called.
Then type
Code:
start namecoind


4) A namecoind window should popup, minimize it if it doesn't close on its own. Then navigate to
Code:
C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Roaming\Namecoin
and open or create a file called bitcoin.conf


5) Inside this file, insert these lines, with the username and pass of your choice:
Code:
rpcuser=XXXXXX
rpcpassword=YYYYYY


6) In the command prompt, start up namecoind if it previously closed.


7) In the command prompt, type
Code:
namecoind listreceivedbyaddress 0 true
This will show you your receiving address. Write it down/copy+paste it somewhere.
Run
Code:
namecoind getinfo
if you'd like to see your balance.


8 ) You're ready to start mining like you do with bitcoins now. You can use Polcbm-GUI and mine on bitparking, if you'd like a pool, or use
Code:
namecoind setgenerate true -1
to start CPU solo mining and
Code:
namecoind setgenerate false
to stop mining. You can also GPU solo mine using the GUI by using these configurations:
Quote
Server: "solo"
Host: localhost
Port: 8332
Username: username you used in bitcoin.conf
Password: password you used in bitcoin.conf


9) After you obtain your namecoins, you can send them wherever you'd like, via the command
Code:
sendtoaddress X 50
where X is the address you desire to send them to.

Make sure namecoind is running. There should be two windows open- the command prompt where you type in whatever you need, and the namecoind server. You'll know it's running if it says "bitcoin server starting"

Also ensure you're calling the correct location with the cd command.

Turns out GPU Solo mining for namecoins is scary as fuck. All you get to see is how much your hashrate is in GUIminer, but the whole time namecoind won't report any indication at all that you're mining. You just sit there and hope to fuck its working.

Is that about the jist of it?

My rate is 750mhash/s, so I should get a block a day. I just read one guys report who has twice my hash rate, but he only gets 1 block a day. Mine has been going for about 18 hours now. Gunna have a nervous breakdown in the next 6 hours if namecoind getinfo tells me I still have a balance of 0.00000000.

You may also want to try "namecoind listtransactions" to see if there's anything coming in that isn't confirmed yet (so not showing in wallet).

I think we should have a Namecoin link on the home page that redirects to the Namecoin forum. We have a lot of people posting Namecoin-related posts here, and very few posting on the actual Namecoin forum.

When you'll find a bock you will see something like this:


nmc@nmcpc:~$ tail bitcoin1.log
[14/06/2011 01:04:04] Phoenix r100 starting...
[14/06/2011 01:04:04] Connected to server
Result: 00026a32 accepted
Result: 00044ecc accepted

[331.40 Mhash/sec] [2 Accepted] [0 Rejected] [RPC]nmc@nmcpc:~$

Or you could use the ./namecoind listtransactions command. Cheers!

Win7, tried running
Code:
start namecoind
A new windows pops up, but nothing happens.

What exactly should be in the bitcoin.conf file?
I have
Code:
rpcuser=myusername
rpcpassword=mypassword
rpcport=8336
daemon=1

I also have the Win version of bitcoin client running.
Is the port number and daemon causing problems?

ok, read that the windows client might not show anything after running
Code:
start namecoind

So with that open, I went ahead and open another command line windows, and issued
Code:
namecoind listreceivebyaddress 0 true
Then I get
Code:
error: <"code":-32601,"message":"Method not found">
