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

[omarabid]

It is not, but I think there are no important objections.

Daniel Kraft, what the fuck is this supposed to mean?


All objections are significant, especially given that you and Jeremy Rand control the namecoin.org domain as well as the GitHub repository where you are both happy censoring "objections" using the Namecoin username.


They claim to be advocates for "free speech," but they completely delete objections, ban users, and so on.

Daniel Kraft and Jeremy Rand's mere existence is an insult to our intelligence!

We need to get rid of these rotten apples and start working on Namecoin without these scumbags!

They just merging from upstream Bitcoin Core some improvements into Namecoin "Core" and pretending to be "Namecoin developers".

They are scam artists and criminals who beg for money under the guise of working on Namecoin.

Daniel Kraft, you should focus on Xaya and ignore the Namecoin community because you and Jeremy Rand bring nothing but toxicity here.


Speaking of namecoin.org, it is hosted in Europe's sole dictatorship, Hungary.

Code:

;; QUESTION SECTION:
;namecoin.org.			IN	A

;; ANSWER SECTION:
namecoin.org.		3600	IN	A	91.219.237.223

Code:

{
  "ip": "91.219.237.223",
  "hostname": "sa1541.serverastra.com",
  "city": "Budapest",
  "region": "Budapest",
  "country": "HU",
  "loc": "47.4984,19.0404",
  "org": "AS56322 ServerAstra Kft.",
  "postal": "1066",
  "timezone": "Europe/Budapest",
}

It is appears that Jeremy Rand in fact working with Eastern European secret services, he does operating "DNS seeds" in Slovakia as well which he and Daniel Kraft hard coded into Namecoin "Core".

Hungary has been ruled by a fascist dictator, Viktor Orban, for well over a decade, with secret services kidnapping people from their homes, foreign organizations effectively banned, media completely censored if not dissolved by the government, and the country well-known for torturing and brutally beating refugees, women, men, children, and the elderly, among other things.  Not to mention the electrified 520+ km long NATO razor fences along the southern border.

At this point, I propose that namecoin.org be shut down and the GitHub repository archived so that others can work on Namecoin without being centralized and controlled by idiots who host the website in a fascist dictatorship in Hungary and the DNS seeds in Slovakia, which intentionally sends fighter jets to neo-nazis in Ukraine to start a third world war.

I demand that namecoin.org be shut down, as well as the Twitter channel @namecoin, which should be deleted along with all tweets, and that the GitHub repository be closed as archived, and that Jeremy Rand and Daniel Kraft stop begging for money while censoring, defaming, doxxing, and threatening Namecoin users, as well as leaking information to Eastern European secret services about the users.

On another note, who is interested to get NFT running on Namecoin?

God, please no. lol

<trash>

If it's funded by any secret service... wouldn't they be pretty flush with funds. 

We could use some secret service liquidity on our namecoin exchange: https://altquick.com/market/Namecoin

I've been sold out on Namecoins for a while now.  People can basically sell for what they want to at the moment (well, offer to sell.)

[BayAreaCoins]

You should learn English BayAreaCoins because you either misread or don't understand the language.  You should read everything twice before speaking.  

You're probably right.

On the other hand, I'm the only one who uses your exchange, so please stop spamming in this topic.  Almost every one of your comments contains a spam link.

Uh ya, I'm a spammer big dog... <3 Get rich or die spamming!  jk, I'm just trying my little heart out to have more Namecoins to sell to folks.  People keep buying them when they are offered.  I feel like I owe it to our buyer to try to bring in more coins for sale.

You filth.  

I identify as greasy <3

Does anyone here use electrum wallet and is it working ok for you regarding getting a connection?

A lot of electrum wallets get stopped by computer firewalls, may work on one computer, not another.

A lot of deleted posts, a few edited posts, a ban, wow this thread certainly attracts a lot of drama.

Nope, without convincing proof that satoshi is vinced, he did not.

He simply chimed in his thoughts in an ongoing discussion about BitDNS, which preceded and is entirely separate from Namecoin.

You shouldn't assume I didn't see your FUD a few weeks ago, but everyone embarrasses themselves as best they can! All I can say in response is that you haven't contributed anything to the Namecoin project so far - other than sending merits here and spreading FUD. So on topic, Satoshi is not vinced. Before you keep spreading FUD, you should start reading at the initial post of this thread: Namecoin is a naming system based on bitcoin with a few modifications.  It is inspired by the bitdns discussion. Namecoin wasn't created out of thin air, and undoubtedly Satoshi's contributions were the most important, as cited especially with regard to the proposal of merged mining.

This was the comment I was referring to in the above quote:

But every BitcoinTalk member should know that even Satoshi Nakamoto contributed on this project

This is factually incorrect and its not "FUD" to call it out as such. Satoshi was gone from the public eye before Namecoin was released. There is no record of him lending a hand in the building of the Namecoin software, other than he created the software from which NMC was forked. Because he floated a few substantial ideas in the BitDNS thread it does not mean he "contributed on" Namecoin. He contributed ideas to BitDNS -- no programming or development.

This line is just used by some of the more dishonest peddlers of re-registered NMC assets as "Historical NFTs" to pump their bags. Dunno why Trade Runner deleted all his posts, but anyway, it is worth clarifying for the record.

Also for the record I think the old domains and names are kind of cool. I liken it to "would you want to re-register askjeeves.com if given the chance?" Sure, it would be fun to own as a historical collectible. It has an interesting story behind it and collector value. They are cool in their own right; no need to artificially inflate their significance with some verbal slight-of-hand.

Alright I guess that wraps er up for now, see you all in a year or so

Satoshi directly contributed to two digital currencies, Bitcoin and Namecoin.

Anybody can read the BitDNS threads and decide.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=6197.0

In fact of Satoshi's last 12 comments, 7 involved BitDNS

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3;sa=showPosts

Bitcoin was an example of how a 'pseudo commodity', could be created in a fair way if a person trusts the underlying cryptography.

But aside from that, bitcoin does absolutely nothing.

Namecoin has vastly important uses, and that is probably why Satoshi contributed to BitDNS.

Ethereum Name Service is a very weak imitation of Namecoin. It cannot be cloned for use by local groups who want to create their own economies etc which will be the main future use of Namecoin.

Very very soon Europe will be in chaos.

The United States has been preparing by hardening and militarizing its police.

Namecoin would potentially smooth a lot of bumps, coins dependent on another chain would not.

He did not "contribute" to Namecoin in any way. Stop trying to rewrite history.

Anybody can read the BitDNS threads and decide.

That is not Namecoin, it's BitDNS, which wasn't even his idea. He just chimed in a few suggestions on how a BitDNS would work -- this was before the creation of Namecoin, which again, he had nothing to do with.

Bitcoin was an example of how a 'pseudo commodity', could be created in a fair way if a person trusts the underlying cryptography.

Namecoin has vastly important uses,

The market disagrees with this take by a near infinite ratio.

and that is probably why Satoshi contributed to BitDNS.

He didn't even "contribute" to BitDNS, because BitDNS never existed. It was just an idea.

Anybody can decide for themselves on those various questions.

On a separate issue, suppose I belong to a group which wants to make its own private internet / intranet and economy.

Is there an easy way for us to do that, or do we need to hire a coder to create a clone or fork of Namecoin?

Can it be done for free by people who are not interested in programming?

How is this old-school coin doing? Namecoin from the days when Elon Musk didn't know bitcoin existed and was a normal person)

the status is that no one here has bothered to apply for listing in any exchange since ancient times.
Just getting into (any exchange) would be huge, but seems that nowadays any exchange is demanding that the "official" developers apply, (and pay) something they are not doing it.

the status is that this is coin has been the grandmother of the pump and dump and it have leave more people reeling with loses than we can count. most "investors" have been burned because of the "no marketing" policy.

the status is that the actual users of the coin don't care about the price because hey, cheap domains, but this people were mostly Assange and some domainsquatter guy. (so we got 2 users and one is in jail...)

the status is that this could be one of the greatest coins but have fallen behind because it's just following bitcoin, only some hackers (the owner of btc-e and wex) have (had) big stash of the coin and doesn't seem innovative, because they didn't bother to fund any development.

 but time will tell. and one of this days i'm gonna drop a couple btcs and we will 10x but first we gotta get into the big exchanges or at least the no KYC ones like bitget.

because without being able to use a coin to move funds between exchanges there is really no use case for it. even doge can be used for that.!

At the bottom of your post it says

"Don't donate me: donate to nmc re-base development project."

The link goes to

https://www.bountysource.com/teams/namecoin/issues

You seem to have a great idea to use bounties to let people know about nmc but your link is totally not working.

edit to add
Maybe a public figure like biolizard or domob or snailbrain would agree to handle bounties.
The one coin that could easily overtake bitcoin in today's political climate would be a combination of nmc and huc but with the huc aspect more like numerai https://numer.ai/

Nmr is focused on profiting a hedge fund, but if you let users decide to determine their own variables you would have a huc like hybrid which could
a) create a private internet
b) with its own economy
c) which could be used to develop sciences/technologies

Namecoin price down a fair bit eh?  I took a bit of a slide on that, it seems.
