- Namecoin is alive and well
- Namecoin is young, not even 3 months old. The Namecoin blockchain started on 17 April 2011. By comparison, Bitcoin blockchain started on 3 January 2009.
- Namecoin's first major application is for secure ownership of .bit domains. Because the Namecoin system is a generic name/value datastore, there are many, many, many more applications possible.
- Namecoin currently is not documented well. This will improve as the project matures.
- Namecoin currently has no open source GUI. This will improve as the project matures.
