Namecoin itself is a nebulous project with great goals but no practical use, and not even an example of a practical use.

So the whole ".bit" extension thing is dead in the water then? Or is it simply not practical at the present time?

Not dead in the water, but incomplete. Like if somebody says they are going to build a car and they deliver a car minus the transmission and steering wheel.

Step one is find a real use case, and step two update the coin parameters so they are of more practical use.

It's a great idea and there are reasons that coins like NMC, HUC MZC get loads of publicity when they start, but also reasons they turn into vaporware or whatever.

Namecoin is one of the few coins that could fix a lot of problems in the world.

Your reasoning is the completely wrong approach! To do it the legal way, forget about this copyright-infringement-girl, search for scientific projects you want to fund, and then use Newton coin or create an own coin to fund that particular project. Then the "poor scientist" can legally buy the third party studies and his work doesn't have to be marked as "financed by pirated studies".

That's like the fifth time you and one of your partners have referred to doing things the 'legal' way.

I am all for doing things legally, properly. The question is what is legal and proper. If ten thousand people make a 'law' that says you must eat asparagus or go to jail, that does not make their 'law' legal or proper.

A lot of young people are blindly co opted into serving power under the guise of serving law. Illegal things don't become legal when a majority passes a law saying they are legal.

I was the one who reported the permanent OT swearing and spamming of BayAreaCoins filling up the threads. Thanks to the mod this thread got finally readable again!

If you want to silence people who are not actually intruding on you in any way, silence yourself first.
