Debuting a new avatar showcasing one of the rarest Blockheads in my possession, "Poon" registered on July 25th, 2014. Blockheads were THE precursor to Cryptopunks minted on Namecoin between 2014-2015...all the best NFTs originated there. You guys have no freakin' idea. ...soon

🪙 Namecoin .bit Gateway 🔹 The oldest Web3 backend in space: Namecoin .bit domains can now be easily resolved by appending .host in any browser’s address bar. The .bit Gateway redirects to the Asset Viewer, or alternatively acts as a Web2-Web3 bridge by mirroring the original .bit website: 🔗 namecoin.pro/SitePages/Janu… 🔹 More and more 𝕏 members, crypto OGs, and #NFT collectors actively use their Namecoin IDs in their bio, as an on-chain link container and central Web3 ID, verifying themselves - powered by the #Bitcoin network: 🔗 index.bit.host #Namecoin #Web3

⚙️ Namecoin .bit Gateway and Message Signer To streamline the daily use of Namecoin as a Web3 backend, two new utilities have been introduced: the Namecoin .bit Gateway and the Namecoin Message Signer. 🔹 While the Namecoin Asset Viewer has been live for several years, access to Web3 IDs and domains is now further simplified through the .bit.host gateway. By appending .host to any .bit domain in a browser’s address bar, the Namecoin .bit Gateway redirects to the Asset Viewer, or alternatively acts as a Web2-Web3 bridge by mirroring the original .bit website. 🔹 The Namecoin Message Signer is a platform-independent Python tool with a graphical user interface (GUI) for signing and verifying messages for Namecoin Core descriptor, HD, and legacy wallets. This long-awaited tool replicates Namecoin Core’s native signing feature for legacy addresses while extending support to modern Bech32/SegWit addresses. For details, check the latest news update: 🔗 namecoin.pro/SitePages/Janu…

Running BIP-110 to ditch all spams out of the MONETARY NETWORK!

⚙️ Core Wallet Maintenance Tools 🔹 Following the release of the Core Wallet Migration Tools, it was time to release a tool for the general descriptor wallet maintenance and recovery. 🔹 Especially collectors, who have transferred out assets or got expired ones, can now get rid of the orphaned wallet entries. 🔹 Also for an easy-to-use backup routine, the Core Wallet Maintenance Tools are now available as platform-independent Python scripts for #Namecoin Core: 🔗 github.com/blocktraveler/… As always, immutably stored fully on-chain on the Namecoin blockchain, in accordance with the NMC-V Standard: 🔗 namecoin.online/explorer/detai…

@Leooweb3 Namecoin ($NMC) -First Altcoin Ever -First NFTs found there -Fork of Bitcoin w/Active development & Naming capabilities (ie. A blockchain usecase that doesn’t have a clear network dominant ‘winner’ yet) -21M coins (ie. just like BTC and ZEC) -approx 60% of Bitcoin’s hashrate

BTC is old ETH is expensive SOL is full of jeets BNB is slow Cardano just sucks Tron is dead Zcash seems topped What's the solution?

Fuck the fuckers

@TBSocialist Hey dude check to see if you dropped your pocket or if you just have a couple holes in your pants that prevents you from holding any water…

this market should absolutely be illegal holy shit

@PakoVM 20% should be enough to BIP444 the default datacarrier size back to the Stone Age…

"Nobody is going to run v30" "Knots is the reference implementation now" Now that they lost this battle as well, what's the next line of distributed cope?

@ella_schlags @TBSocialist Theyre not saying “it’s just really overwhelming” you dingbat; theyre saying it’s a swamp & a waste of time bc we can now build systems that obviate the State Decentralized money, ID & communication protocols will soon form the exit from our increasingly tyrannical society and…

When a tech bro is proud of their ability to “solve hard problems” but they also say something along the lines of “I don’t really keep up with politics, it’s just really overwhelming because I can’t fix any of it” it makes me want to knock them out with a fry pan

@stephanlivera Regardless of whether you know what you are saying is false one conclusion reading your words here is inescapable: YOU ARE CUCKED The filtooors just wanted to keep everything as is Changing default datacarriersize to 100kb is the ATTACK History will not look kindly on your ilk

There's a fundamental difference of world view between the filteroors and Bitcoin Core devs. Filteroors seem to believe that you can just have regular, quick auto-updates on filters to filter out new forms of content spam. BTW, who sets the filters? What if they get the filters wrong? Can the filter authority itself represent a centralisation risk? What happens if/when people want to run different filters and different forms of spam get mined into blocks? Core devs are operating on a 6 monthly release cycle and by necessity, they must be conservative. They're working on crucial infrastructure for a $2T+ and growing ecosystem. And they know that not everyone updates straight away, there are people running versions that are years out of date. Most Bitcoin Core devs are fundamentally against auto-updates - for loss of user sovereignty reasons, security reasons, and SPOF (single point of failure) reasons. Now to be fair, one nuance is that Bitcoin Core's latest versions have the most up to date security patches. So admittedly it's not perfect there. But as I understand, the project does attempt to backport some fixes, usually for the last 2 point releases (so if v30 is latest, some fixes will go back into v29 and v28 where possible).

@maciejsoltysiak Let’s setup an atomic trade through Bisq; no KYC. Bisq.network If you put up a reasonable Ask for the lot, DM me and I’ll take a look.

@lolapennySOL So I have these very old coins I discovered when checking old backups. I don't use exchanges. Does it allow to dump namecoin for bitcoin without kyc?

Your bi-annual reminder that Namecoin rocks (+173% over the 365 days). The first ever alt coin was also the first attempt to create a Self-Sovereign Identity system where we the users retain sole access to our own data. No big companies selling our data. No massive centralized databases with all our most sensitive information. Just the ability to freely decide our own digital footprints as they happen, and even change them afterwards if we’d like. Bitcoin was first. It is gold. It is the monetary foundation on which the new digital age will be built in large part because it fixed a massive problem at the perfect time. Massive companies will continue to have data leaks. Governments around the world will continue to restrict access to the internet through centralized entities. Much like the housing crash in ‘08 lead many to buy gold and soon after BTC, centralized digital systems will eventually push people towards the SSI model. It is absolutely inevitable and current global events will tell you it’s coming sooner than you think. Namecoin has always been a fantastic solution to a huge problem, it just started solving it over a decade before the masses realized it. Even if it is not the .bit standard that succeeds - the model that does work will owes all its foundational understanding of SSI’s to the Namecoin/.bit experiment. Many will laugh at my $NMC investment thesis from ‘24, but it has already been written in stone that some form of their model will be adapted globally in the future. Whether I own a piece of the digital Mona Lisa that created the model, or the coin that will win is still yet to be seen. Regardless - I’m holding (and still buying) the right one, no matter how long it may take or how niche it may be now. By the time that’s abundantly clear though, you still won’t know how to buy any and every exchange that does have a sliver of it will be long sold out. My DM’s will be closed by then. Good luck fellow digital pioneers and degens alike.

☣️ @nikitabier So, are you actually telling us that you're about to commit a massive violation of our privacy!? Seriously!? So that's actually a cyber attack from the inside! I'm starting to regret having financed again the richest man in the world with my Premium+ subscription! Btw, excluding "common" accounts from commenting on this resp. disabling your post's preview didn't work out, huh? @elonmusk FYI 👉🏻 x.com/nikitabier/sta… #cyberattack #privacy

It’s very telling if a self-proclaimed “Bitcoiner” answers this question with annnnything other than: -Monero ($XMR) -ZCash ($ZEC) or -Namecoin ($NMC) [HINT: They’re closeted shitcoiners]

@rodarmor @peterktodd Oh so then the Core camp *welcomes and endorses* JPEG storage as a legitimate use of Bitcoin’s blockchain? If not, then STFU…

It's odd to use the word spam for messages you don't like, but that people actually want to send and receive.

@stephanlivera Next time please give us warning that you will be tweeting about the knots versus Core debate, for the sake of all our brain cells…

In the Knots Vs Core debate, people are missing a few ground truths: 1. 400KB JPEGs via the taproot inscription envelope is already standard, and already being relayed by a majority of nodes. 2. Due to librerelay, 100KB OP RETURN is already possible to relay. People are incorrectly acting like somehow Core v30 is uniquely enabling these things.

@WayneVaughan @mikeinspace People continue saying the same stupid thing (ie. you cant stop spam so we might as well not try) —they’re plum out ideas and simply don’t know how to stop the bleeding.

You can’t prevent people from embedding non-financial data in Bitcoin.

The smug gets wiped off your Chevy Chase pretty quickly when you see that alls fair in WAR This is not condoning any particular comment but it reflects that people are THAT angered by the move to redefine “datacarrier” to justify the NACK to @LukeDashjr proposal to curb the spam
