I have received the coins, thanks! Registering an alias is more complicated and error-prone than it needs to be. There should be a createalias() function that asks a few questions and then performs the necessary steps. What happens behind the scenes when one calls name_firstupdate? It took a while for name_show to actually show the alias.


No need for a smiley but why don't you add Tor into Namecoin? Governments and big companies like Google and Facebook love to spy on us in order to control us and to sell our data to advertisers. Any alternative to the mainstream Internet should be encrypted by default and this includes Namecoin.
