A good recent real-world example of why you probably wouldn't want to use Namecoin for timestamping, with OpenTimestamps being a more scalable alternative:
https://projecttimestamper.org/This kind of large-scale operation would be prohibitively expensive with Namecoin, whereas OpenTimestamps makes it so cheap that Peter can fund the transactions with donations. The developers do give a shout-out to Namecoin for PKI purposes, which is cool. Use the right tool for the job!
If Namecoin were listed on binance, it would go to $1000.
BasicSwap is way cooler than Binance. And... they just added Namecoin! (Yes, we do engage in outreach to exchanges; this is a good result of those efforts.)
https://basicswapdex.com/Apart from bisq where the liquidity wasn't that deep for namecoin a few years back I checked I was looking to atomic swap some of my Monero for namecoin, but was hesitant might try basicswapdex.
Have you given it a go if so, how's the experience? Would it be best to join their matrix to get help getting started instead of jumping right in appreciate it
