Namecoin is derived from the culture that permeated the Bitcoin community in 2010-2011, which was a culture that was here for the tech, not to make easy money. [...] Real cypherpunks don't worry about whatever market fads are en vogue now.  Cypherpunks write code.

What Jeremy Rand alias biolizard89 forgot to mention is that he applied for and uses several public funds to get his work paid. Of course one won't find any declaration about the source and the height of the public funds at the website namecoin.org he's squatting on, creating the impression of volunteers of a non-profit-organization! Not to forget the support of the Namecoin Foundation. I wonder if he declares this kind of income at least in front of the tax office. And all this for a blockchain project which still hasn't any practical usage after 9 years of collaborative development, financed by a foundation and an undeclared, publicly unknown number of funds. Think about it the next time you visit the website at namecoin.org!
