There are currently 1-2 developers working on Namecoin (mostly Khan, another core developer died recently). Namecoin itself has quite a few issues. The design is only the beginning.

thanks, I know those. the problem is that the current venues for discussion new concepts are suboptimal. too much noise. so I thought somewhere, somebody is working on really new stuff.

1. It could be possible that Satoshi Nakaomoto does not exist or Bitcoin does not exist. 2. Therefore no one has invented Bitcoin or someone has invented Bitcoin. 3. Because each part of the proposition is equally likely we have to infer th

you made some very interesting posts. what I'm missing from this is 0mq. I believe it introduces layering mechanisms, so that one can re-use patterns to build cool stuff (anything really), without knowing specific details. do you have

worst reporting I've seen. it implies this person has admitted working on bitcoin. actually that's not even true, if you read the words. why on earth all this work, just to chose a real name? this does not make any sense. as if SN

HN - wtf? censoring this is pretty nutty.

this is so absurd. Musk chose the most difficult industries, and both SpaceX and Telsa were 5 minutes away from bankruptcy in 2008. and yet he is "rent-seeker". if that where the case he would have gone for traditional corrupt ind

why the upvotes? but I'm sure the author is an expert in Elliptic Curve Cryptography and understands the subtleties of hierarchical deterministic wallets.

yes notaries + alternative DNS. problem is really the root (literally). its the same thing: somebody running a server and making decisions based on profit/power what goes into that server. I mean you choose whether you go to GoDaddy or
