Thanks for the response. It is enlightening to get some insight on these issues from an actual developer.

I had trouble wrapping my head around the idea that "tokens that can expire" at first, and there remains debate as to whether re-registered assets are the same entity as the pre-expired one (with compelling arguments on both sides). But your assessment gives me the final push of conviction I needed to accept them as NFTs.

It is unfortunately true that there is a shystery element that is attached to much of NFT salesmanship. Funny how nobody re-registering or buying these early domains has plans to make websites for them. You probably heard the story of the owner of d/bitcoin refusing a multi-million dollar offer for it.

On the upside, the whole "Historical NFT" movement has brought a lot more attention to Namecoin.

In any case, thanks for your continued dedication to keeping this project moving, and to domob. Realized earlier today I've been commenting in this thread since 2014. Looking forward to trying out the new version of Core.
