Trade Runner, I strongly disagree with your idea that people "need" to buy .bit from ICANN... the purpose of Namecoin was to avoid ICANN from my understanding.

I didn't mention any idea of applying for the .bit TLD in front of ICANN. I just noticed that the .bit TLD is unofficially reserved just as a grace of ICANN and that this might change very easily.

You're thinking of how to bend in the system and Namecoin is the system. You're trying to grow a nice branch, but these fellas are growing trees. I hope that helps.

I didn't create any branch. Quite the contrary. I'm creating a service on top of the existing blockchain. And for sure I have no need to apply for public funds. Might be I'll fork the Namecoin Core afterwards on Github and make a real implementation of the name tab, not just as an appended GUI for accessing the own application over the RPC connection which is intended to be used over external command line interfaces. The actual kind of implementation is nothing more than an additional code on top of the existing code, so far a kind of programming related masturbation. Anyway I would avoid creating any fork on the blockchain if possible at all.

I also disagree with you attacking Biolizard for raising funds. I applaud Biolizard for fighting the good fight...

You're arguing here now for nearly three hours but still didn't get my point of view. I didn't "attack" J.R. for raising funds. But I noticed that he's giving the impression to be the personification of a nonprofit organization, but in reality he has just taken over the website on namecoin.org together with the connected social media accounts, using undeclared public funds. But some communication on Github, Reddit and the IRC channel with other contributors doesn't make an organization. And for a serious organization as well as for beneficiaries of a public fund it would be mandatory to declare clearly all used public funds they raised in the name of the project. And not giving the impression to be just a non-profit coder working as volunteer for the community. So J.R. was concerned with the implementation of the name operations in the Electrum software wallet and headed now over to implement the name tab in the Core software wallet - and he makes cash with the coding. All you get on namecoin.org is a thanks to our funders with links to their websites. About the number and height of received funds? Nothing at all.

Is it true that investments in old proven coins are much safer and more profitable than in new tokens? Then Namecoin becomes a very profitable and promising investment.

This is dependent from the developer team, and as I mentioned, Namecoin is almost dead. It had been delisted from mostly all exchanges and we have three trustworthy exchanges left where we can get NMC. The delisting is pending over the remaining listings like the sword of Damocles. But anyway I trust in Namecoin and trying to save the final demise of the whole project in creating more attractive services on top of the blockchain. So yes, from my point of view Namecoin is a good investment.
