Re: [announce] Namecoin - a distributed naming system based on Bitcoin
A lot of deleted posts, a few edited posts, a ban, wow this thread certainly attracts a lot of drama.
This was the comment I was referring to in the above quote:
This is factually incorrect and its not "FUD" to call it out as such. Satoshi was gone from the public eye before Namecoin was released. There is no record of him lending a hand in the building of the Namecoin software, other than he created the software from which NMC was forked. Because he floated a few substantial ideas in the BitDNS thread it does not mean he "contributed on" Namecoin. He contributed ideas to BitDNS -- no programming or development.
This line is just used by some of the more dishonest peddlers of re-registered NMC assets as "Historical NFTs" to pump their bags. Dunno why Trade Runner deleted all his posts, but anyway, it is worth clarifying for the record.
Also for the record I think the old domains and names are kind of cool. I liken it to "would you want to re-register askjeeves.com if given the chance?" Sure, it would be fun to own as a historical collectible. It has an interesting story behind it and collector value. They are cool in their own right; no need to artificially inflate their significance with some verbal slight-of-hand.
Alright I guess that wraps er up for now, see you all in a year or so
Nope, without convincing proof that satoshi is vinced, he did not.
He simply chimed in his thoughts in an ongoing discussion about BitDNS, which preceded and is entirely separate from Namecoin.
You shouldn't assume I didn't see your FUD a few weeks ago, but everyone embarrasses themselves as best they can! All I can say in response is that you haven't contributed anything to the Namecoin project so far - other than sending merits here and spreading FUD. So on topic, Satoshi is not vinced. Before you keep spreading FUD, you should start reading at the initial post of this thread: Namecoin is a naming system based on bitcoin with a few modifications. It is inspired by the bitdns discussion. Namecoin wasn't created out of thin air, and undoubtedly Satoshi's contributions were the most important, as cited especially with regard to the proposal of merged mining.He simply chimed in his thoughts in an ongoing discussion about BitDNS, which preceded and is entirely separate from Namecoin.

But every BitcoinTalk member should know that even Satoshi Nakamoto contributed on this project

Satoshi directly contributed to two digital currencies, Bitcoin and Namecoin.
Anybody can read the BitDNS threads and decide.

In fact of Satoshi's last 12 comments, 7 involved BitDNS

Bitcoin was an example of how a 'pseudo commodity', could be created in a fair way if a person trusts the underlying cryptography.
But aside from that, bitcoin does absolutely nothing.
Namecoin has vastly important uses, and that is probably why Satoshi contributed to BitDNS.
Ethereum Name Service is a very weak imitation of Namecoin. It cannot be cloned for use by local groups who want to create their own economies etc which will be the main future use of Namecoin.
Very very soon Europe will be in chaos.
The United States has been preparing by hardening and militarizing its police.
Namecoin would potentially smooth a lot of bumps, coins dependent on another chain would not.
