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

[domob]

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.

No, unfortunately not.  The developers working on "manage names" have still not been able to finalise the PRs.

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.

I need a version with the coin control feature. Compiled for ubuntu 18.04 LTS would be nice.

If you mean "coin control" like the feature of Bitcoin Core (for currency transactions), then that is contained in the release.  If you are talking about a UI for name management (with or without coin control), then that is unfortunately still under development and the people working on it are severely out of time at the moment.

It's the first. I will try to compile it myself. Thanks for your help.

Please fix electrum wallet so it can be possible withdrawing coins for poloniex.

You can use a key generator like this to get your namecoin out of poloniex. Once you get your wallet working you can sweep the private key.

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"
