Improve the speed of name_scan and name_list

I've committed a patch to improve speed of namecoin :
name_scan : -35%
name_list : -55%

Source is available on github : https://github.com/khalahan/namecoin/commit/9dd96f321a91ae1ae7ca676c60391274422ce3b6

It may be interesting for people having a lot of names, people maintaining a dns server with .bit, people doing stats from namecoin, etc.

Hi guys. I have been interested in Namecoin for quite some time, but I'm not sure of exactly who are the relative representatives (assuming Coblee would be for Litecoin, Gavin would be for Bitcoin, etc).

Who would I contact about the actual domain namecoin.info for example or a major security flaw or anything like that?

khal gave me access to namecoin.info, so you can contact me about that, too.

message encryption using bitcoin/namecoin keys is at reach: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=145098

Only key export is missing in namecoin.

You might be able to use pywallet for key export/import?

I think pywallet can not work on wallets in use. Otherwise it would be enough to hack something together.

Hi, I have a problem. I tried to follow directions at  http://dot-bit.org/HowToRegisterAndConfigureBitDomains so i can pre-order my domain name for namecoins. However, here is what happens when i try to preorder a name:

Code:

C:\namecoind>namecoind name_new d/THENAMEIWANT

error: {"code":-4,"message":"Error: This transaction requires a transaction fee
of at least 0.00 because of its amount, complexity, or use of recently received
funds  "}

And by the way I checked and the domain name that I want is free.

[virtualmaster]

You need to have some namecoins in your wallet otherwise you cannot pay the fees.
It is less then 1 namecoin to reserve a .bit domain for one year.
