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

[georgem]

so, is this still the official ANN thread of namecoin here on bitcointalk?

We should have more "action" here, and not only on the namecoin-forum

you can send, receive and instantly exchange NMC into BTC, LTC, DOGE and 4 other cryptos

Namecoin wallpaper and stl. file for 3D printing now available for download
on http://www.bitpla.net/2014/07/namecoin-nmc.html

Now you can make your own physical Namecoin

Very interesting. Doesn't seem all that useful though.

I agree. Have you seen the cost of 3D printers? Not in the pocket of an ordinary Joe. But interesting that these things can be done.

Hey guys
We launched online sale of digital gift cards (Skype, Amazon, Steam, iTunes, Xbox, Playstation, GooglePlay etc) for cryptocurrency.
Now you can buy digital prepaid cards directly from your Cryptonator account and pay with NMC Delivery max 24h (normally 1-6 hours)

the block reward is halving.

Also btc-e volume is quite high in general these days because of the ruble trouble.

Anyway it's great the halving finally comes.

Sounds like maybe something positive for this lonely altcoin.  Someone referred to it as the magic-bean of altcoins which gave me a chuckle. A cryptocoin for DNS sounded good, but never went anywhere.  Is anyone doing anything with them? Would be interested to hear about some use cases for them...

Excellent.
Now we wait another 4 years (I believe) until the next halving, right?

End of 2018: 12.5 NMC

Actually it was only 3.5 years or so because of the mostly increasing difficulty.

Summer of 2018: 12.5 NMC

I am going to hold on to my namecoins until atleast then. 

[domob]

Who's running nodes on testnet and mining there?  Please contact me by PM or email (at d@domob.eu, GPG welcome).  Thanks!

Are .bit going to exist on their own, or are they always going to be linked to ICANN?

... they have never been linked to ICANN, in fact that is one of the main features ignoramus.

Perhaps a small attempt to inform yourself before blurting out BS on a public forum?
