Re: [announce] Namecoin - a distributed naming system based on Bitcoin
There's been a lot of debate recently on Twitter among self-professed "NFT Historians" about whether or not "d/bitcoin" is the world's "first NFT", and whether Namecoin names or domains can be classified as "NFTs".
Its become kind of a big deal as people are now paying thousands of dollars for re-registered Namecoin assets; most notable of which are Punycodes, Twitter Eggs and early Namecoin identities.
Kind of interesting to watch it unfold.
While I'm coming around to accept the idea that, OK - even if domains and names expire they can still be considered "NFTs" - one thing that bugs me is that a lot of the pro-"Namecoin assets are NFTs" crowd references this Uwe Martens guy as an "OG Namecoin dev"...
He went by the name Trade Runner on this forum.
Just wondering if domob or biolizard89 could chime in on whether they know if this guy has ever actually contributed anything to Namecoin since this was posted:
Correction: For the personal view about the situation of the Namecoin project by someone who's not been involved in the project/community so far, see that link.
Saw a lot of accusation slinging from this guy on the forum, reddit, telegram, and now twitter, but have yet to find any actual code.

Today I entered the CoinMarketCap Group with 9750 members at the moment. I linked a new Namecoin channel, mentioning Namecoin as a currency and DNS blockchain service. As nonprofit channel and project surely no spam! At first the Combot deleted my posting automatically due to restrictions of new users, where posted links within 24 hours get blocked, even if these links are just internal to other groups.
I repeated the posting without links, noticing, that I opened right now this channel with group, which could be found just searching for "Namecoin". Then the moderator with the troll name "Crypto professor 👨🏻💻 CMC listings are free 🆓 I will never Dm you for funds." deleted this second posting manually. The public conversation followed:

Got deleted manually evidently. I'll leave this group again. Bye!

Great
We don’t need shillers
Uwe Martens (26.02.2020 11:17:32 CET)
Well, I'm just an admin and web developer within the blockchain sector, but I see that such relevant infos are unwanted here! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hopefully this conversation had at least a little entertainment factor for the community!
The new Namecoin project itself I'll present here shortly in another thread.
