Why is it called Namecoin and not something like Bitname or Bitdomain?
- sudoquai 12y agoLook at: https://www.facebook.com/Namecoin.NMC https://www.facebook.com/Namecoin.NMC Namecoin is a little bit more than just ... DNS Have a nice day :)
- GigabyteCoin 12y agoThat's just the name that the original founding coder (vinced from the bitcointalk forums) chose and nobody has wanted or bothered to change it: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=6017.msg88356#msg88356 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=6017.msg88356#msg883... Some chose to refer to it as the dot-bit project as well. I have never seen any arguments over the name. namecoin == nmc == dot-bit
