如今，纪念第一个Altcoin成立13周年，即加密资产Namecoin（NMC）

尽管令牌随着时间的流逝而变得昏暗，但该网络仍处于积极的开发状态，其工作证明（POW）哈希雷特（POW）是加密生态系统中最高的。

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

如今，是Crypto Asset网络启动的第一个Altcoin和最长的Crypto Asset网络的13周年。

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

当然，该网络是Namecoin（NMC），其代币的计时为2025年4月18日的每枚硬币0.98美元。

While Often Forgotten, the First Altcoin Turns 13 Today

虽然经常被遗忘，但第一个Altcoin今天满13岁

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.

这一年是2011年。正好是在萨托·纳卡本（Satoshi Nakamoto）于2009年1月3日推出比特币的835天之后，纳梅币网络上线了。该计划是一个分散的开源加密货币和区块链，它是从比特币的代码库分配的。它旨在提供一个分散的域名系统（DNS）和身份管理框架，从而强化了互联网基础架构，以防止审查制度和隐私漏洞。

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的主要应用是注册和解决。值得注意的是，“ Bitcoin.bit” DNS名称是第一个不可杀死的令牌（NFT）资产。到目前为止，人们已经铸造了数十万个。

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.

为了保护这些域之一，您必须首先获得NMC并安装Namecoin Core Client或配备姓名管理的替代钱包。在客户端中，启动`name_new`命令（省略.bit扩展名）保留您所需的绰号，并注意事务ID和随机盐。在等待大约12个街区来阻止前进攻击之后，使用盐和选择的数据（例如IP地址）使用`name_firstupdate`使用`name_firstupdate''来最终确定所有权。

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.

然后，持有人可以使用“ name_update”通过浏览器扩展程序，私人DNS服务器或兼容软件来修改或续订其域并解决.bit地址，并在NMC中支付任何费用，并作为注册服务商。

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从2013年11月29日的历史最高峰值价格上涨了很长一段路，该价格在2012年1月上次访问。它没有再次达到这些崇高的水平，而代币经常从集体记忆中滑倒。

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，发展仍在继续。 2024年12月，Namecoin Core 28.0 Beta被发布。贡献者还于2024年8月在连锁反应中提出，并于2025年3月在NLNET基金会的核心开放网络计划（CoIN）中发表。Sockstrace等新功能继续从NLNET基金会的NGI0 Core Fund获得资金。

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.

尽管随着岁月的流逝，主流加密对话的网络和代币逐渐消失，但Namecoin还是当今最高的工作证明（POW）障碍之一。在2025年4月18日的487.40 exahash每秒（EH/s）的计算能力巨大。

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.

这种特殊的哈希功率来自与比特币的合并采矿。合并的采矿使比特币矿工能够在不产生额外加工成本的情况下为NMC确保。结果，几个领先的BTC采矿池分配了其巨大的标题能力，将其分配给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的持久存在是由合并的采矿和开发人员的持续贡献所维持的，强调了其作为分散域服务中开创性实验的作用。它持续的桥梁和协议增强功能表明了加密货币社区对比特币姐妹连锁店的承诺，即使它的代币价格仍然适中。
