    One of our servers will be taken offline for maintenance later today (Sunday). The primary affected services will be the Namecoin.org onion service, the Metrics site, and the chat bots. If all goes as planned, services should be back after 72 hours. -Jeremy

    Since @FCC and U.S. #Congress aren't doing their legitimate job (protecting Internet freedom) and are instead under regulatory capture, we and other #cypherpunks aim to do their job for them. #NetNeutrality -Jeremy

    We see lots of interest in Namecoin from NFT archaeologists. We're very happy about that. OneName names sold recently for $$$$. But be aware that at the time these were just identities (and not the first ones - NameID) and not cryptoart / generative art / pfp / nft projects.

    We're often asked why #Namecoin devs don't expend our resources supporting #Apple #iOS. This is why. Makes no sense for a #decentralization project to write code for which Apple has a killswitch. (h/t @rmack) -Jeremy
