I have several namecoins and would like to register a name. That name could either be for TOR, DNS, or any other purpose.
What are the steps needed to spend these coins?

domain is described, for example, on dot-bit wiki.
In short:
Create new domain name with name_new
command: ./namecoind name_new d/<name>
Wait 12 or more blocks
Actually register the domain with name_firstupdate
, where <rand>
is the second (shorter) hexadecimal string returned by name_new
, and <json-value>
is the domain configuration (similar to DNS record):
./namecoind name_firstupdate d/<name> <rand> '<json-value>'
The basic json-string
, mapping the domain to the some IP looks like that:
'{"ip":"1.2.3.4", "tor":"123456.onion"}'
C:\namecoind_v350_win32>namecoind.exe /?
on Windows. I'll give it a shot now.
