如今，紀念第一個Altcoin成立13週年，即加密資產Namecoin（NMC）

儘管令牌隨著時間的流逝而變得昏暗，但該網絡仍處於積極的開發狀態，其工作證明（POW）哈希雷特（POW）是加密生態系統中最高的。

Today marks the 13th anniversary of the first altcoin, and longest-standing, crypto asset’s network launching.

如今，是Crypto Asset網絡啟動的第一個Altcoin和最長的Crypto Asset網絡的13週年。

The network is, of course, Namecoin (NMC), whose token clocked out at $0.98 per coin on April 18, 2025.

當然，該網絡是Namecoin（NMC），其代幣的計時為2025年4月18日的每枚硬幣0.98美元。

While Often Forgotten, the First Altcoin Turns 13 Today

雖然經常被遺忘，但第一個Altcoin今天滿13歲

The year was 2011. Exactly 835 days after Satoshi Nakamoto launched Bitcoin on Jan. 3, 2009, the Namecoin network went live. The initiative is a decentralized, open-source cryptocurrency and blockchain that was forked from Bitcoin’s codebase. It aims to provide a decentralized domain name system (DNS) and identity management framework, fortifying internet infrastructure against censorship and privacy breaches.

這一年是2011年。正好是在薩托·納卡本（Satoshi Nakamoto）於2009年1月3日推出比特幣的835天之後，納梅幣網絡上線了。該計劃是一個分散的開源加密貨幣和區塊鏈，它是從比特幣的代碼庫分配的。它旨在提供一個分散的域名系統（DNS）和身份管理框架，從而強化了互聯網基礎架構，以防止審查制度和隱私漏洞。

The primary application of Namecoin is in registering and resolving .bit domains, none of which answer to a single authority. Notably, the “bitcoin.bit” DNS name was the first non-fungible token (NFT) asset. So far, people have minted hundreds of thousands of .bit domains.

Namecoin的主要應用是註冊和解決。值得注意的是，“ Bitcoin.bit” DNS名稱是第一個不可殺死的令牌（NFT）資產。到目前為止，人們已經鑄造了數十萬個。

To secure one of these domains, you must first obtain NMC and install the Namecoin Core client or an alternative wallet equipped for name management. Within the client, initiate the `name_new` command (omitting the .bit extension) to reserve your desired moniker, taking note of the transaction ID and random salt. After waiting for about 12 blocks to deter front‑running attacks, use `name_firstupdate` with your salt and chosen data, such as an IP address, to finalize ownership.

為了保護這些域之一，您必須首先獲得NMC並安裝Namecoin Core Client或配備姓名管理的替代錢包。在客戶端中，啟動`name_new`命令（省略.bit擴展名）保留您所需的綽號，並註意事務ID和隨機鹽。在等待大約12個街區來阻止前進攻擊之後，使用鹽和選擇的數據（例如IP地址）使用`name_firstupdate`使用`name_firstupdate''來最終確定所有權。

Holders may then use `name_update` to modify or renew their domain and resolve .bit addresses via browser extensions, private DNS servers or compatible software, paying any fees in NMC and acting as a registrar.

然後，持有人可以使用“ name_update”通過瀏覽器擴展程序，私人DNS服務器或兼容軟件來修改或續訂其域並解決.bit地址，並在NMC中支付任何費用，並作為註冊服務商。

NMC has slid a long way from its all-time peak price of $13.11 on Nov. 29, 2013, which it last visited in January 2012. It has not reached those lofty levels again, and the token often slips from collective memory.

NMC從2013年11月29日的歷史最高峰值價格上漲了很長一段路，該價格在2012年1月上次訪問。它沒有再次達到這些崇高的水平，而代幣經常從集體記憶中滑倒。

Yet, development continues. In December 2024, Namecoin Core 28.0 Beta was released. Contributors also presented at Chain Reaction in August 2024 and at the NLnet Foundation’s Core Open Network initiative (COIN) in March 2025. New features like SocksTrace continue to receive funding from the NLnet Foundation’s NGI0 Core Fund.

然而，發展仍在繼續。 2024年12月，Namecoin Core 28.0 Beta被發布。貢獻者還於2024年8月在連鎖反應中提出，並於2025年3月在NLNET基金會的核心開放網絡計劃（CoIN）中發表。 Sockstrace等新功能繼續從NLNET基金會的NGI0 Core Fund獲得資金。

Although the network and token fade from mainstream crypto conversation as the years roll by, Namecoin boasts one of the highest proof-of-work (PoW) hashrates today. At 487.40 exahash per second (EH/s) on April 18, 2025, its computational power is immense.

儘管隨著歲月的流逝，主流加密對話的網絡和代幣逐漸消失，但Namecoin還是當今最高的工作證明（POW）障礙之一。在2025年4月18日的487.40 exahash每秒（EH/s）的計算能力巨大。

This exceptional hashpower derives from merged mining with bitcoin. Merged mining enables bitcoin miners to contribute to securing NMC without incurring extra processing costs. As a result, several leading BTC mining pools allocate a share of their vast hashpower to Namecoin.

這種特殊的哈希功率來自與比特幣的合併採礦。合併的採礦使比特幣礦工能夠在不產生額外加工成本的情況下為NMC確保。結果，幾個領先的BTC採礦池分配了其巨大的標題能力，將其分配給Namecoin。

Namecoin’s enduring existence, sustained by merged mining and the ongoing contributions of developers, highlights its role as a pioneering experiment in decentralized domain services. Its sustained hashrate and protocol enhancements demonstrate the crypto community’s commitment to Bitcoin’s sister chain, even as its token price remains modest.

Namecoin的持久存在是由合併的採礦和開發人員的持續貢獻所維持的，強調了其作為分散域服務中開創性實驗的作用。它持續的橋樑和協議增強功能表明了加密貨幣社區對比特幣姐妹連鎖店的承諾，即使它的代幣價格仍然適中。
