Debuting a new avatar showcasing one of the rarest Blockheads in my possession, "Poon" registered on July 25th, 2014.
Blockheads were THE precursor to Cryptopunks minted on Namecoin between 2014-2015...all the best NFTs originated there.
You guys have no freakin' idea.

⚙️ Core Wallet Tools v.3.0
✅ Meanwhile, the Core Wallet Migration Tools were updated to combo-import for more address type support according to the original Proposal: Add importprivkeys RPC).
🔗github.com/namecoin-dev/Core…
🔗gist.github.com/blocktravele…
✅ Furthermore, the Core Wallet Maintenance Tools were updated, adding a script for extracting private keys from descriptors. This is used for off-chain transfers, e.g. to import an asset created in a modern descriptor wallet (such as Namecoin Core v. 0.28) to a legacy BDB or HD wallet and vice versa.
🔗github.com/namecoin-dev/Core…
ℹ️ All tools have been released for both, #Bitcoin and #Namecoin - as always, stored fully on-chain in the NMC-V+ Standard. Note that not every minor cosmetic edit to the readme files is being upstreamed to the blockchain, so the Web3 file hashes may differ from those of the current Web 2.0 files.

Given all the evidence not treating Adam Back as being anything less than a captured and compromised bad actor makes you part of the problem.
What happened to the cyber-hornets?Where is our cultural backbone???
Samson, last fall you told two podcasts (clips attached) that Core had
- "a lot of structural problems with the organization itself"
- developers with "ulterior motives" doing "conflicted" things
- a "laundry list": "backstabbing, internal politics, brigading, canceling people."
You also said: "you'll get it eventually. I think it'll come to light."
You knew about the issues, but waited for someone else to do the work.
I did the work documenting this. Three articles (so far). IRS filings, SEC exhibits, PRs, IRC logs, archives, right of reply.
The very structural and governance-related problems, documented line by line. My articles assert none of the motives you asserted. You went further on those podcasts than my articles ever go.
And now that this all has come to light, meticulously sourced and documented, your response is: "some individuals doing questionable things," a little "cliques and groupthink", and a retweet of Adam calling the process "uniquely robust to special interest lobbies."
This is the exact opposite of your own diagnosis on those podcasts.
It's very strange to describe and predict that serious and very problematic dirty laundry will air, then call it a non-issue and join Adam's handwaving and misdirection when someone airs it.

Never would I have believed five years ago that I would be attacked, smeared and harassed by Adam Back, Shinobi, MrHodl and others for publishing a fully sourced investigation article about Bitcoin Core governance.
It doesn't quite feel compatible with the whole "don't trust, verify" and decentralization mantras.
It really is an unbelievable state of affairs. Appeals to authority, shaming, ad hominems, smears.... Zero engagement with the imo shocking revelations of the articles.

It’s my opinion that one of the biggest threats to Bitcoin is infighting among its key developers.
I’m not going to pretend to understand all the facets of BIP-110. It’s not my lane and I stay firmly in my lane. But I do trust guys like @adam3us. He’s been at the front of this movement from the very start. It’s his ideas that assisted in the birth of this technology.
Even setting the technical debate aside, forcing a contentious change through with low consensus thresholds goes against how Bitcoin is supposed to evolve.

🪙 Namecoin .bit Gateway
🔹 The oldest Web3 backend in space: Namecoin .bit domains can now be easily resolved by appending .host in any browser’s address bar. The .bit Gateway redirects to the Asset Viewer, or alternatively acts as a Web2-Web3 bridge by mirroring the original .bit website:
🔗 namecoin.pro/SitePages/Janua…
🔹 More and more 𝕏 members, crypto OGs, and #NFT collectors actively use their Namecoin IDs in their bio, as an on-chain link container and central Web3 ID, verifying themselves - powered by the #Bitcoin network:

⚙️ Namecoin .bit Gateway and Message Signer
To streamline the daily use of Namecoin as a Web3 backend, two new utilities have been introduced: the Namecoin .bit Gateway and the Namecoin Message Signer.
🔹 While the Namecoin Asset Viewer has been live for several years, access to Web3 IDs and domains is now further simplified through the .bit.host gateway. By appending .host to any .bit domain in a browser’s address bar, the Namecoin .bit Gateway redirects to the Asset Viewer, or alternatively acts as a Web2-Web3 bridge by mirroring the original .bit website.
🔹 The Namecoin Message Signer is a platform-independent Python tool with a graphical user interface (GUI) for signing and verifying messages for Namecoin Core descriptor, HD, and legacy wallets. This long-awaited tool replicates Namecoin Core’s native signing feature for legacy addresses while extending support to modern Bech32/SegWit addresses.

⚙️ Core Wallet Maintenance Tools
🔹 Following the release of the Core Wallet Migration Tools, it was time to release a tool for the general descriptor wallet maintenance and recovery.
🔹 Especially collectors, who have transferred out assets or got expired ones, can now get rid of the orphaned wallet entries.
🔹 Also for an easy-to-use backup routine, the Core Wallet Maintenance Tools are now available as platform-independent Python scripts for #Namecoin Core:

As always, immutably stored fully on-chain on the Namecoin blockchain, in accordance with the NMC-V Standard:
