This digital money appeared on the basis of Bitcoin as an alternative means of payment. The decentralization of the system was taken as a basis, as well as the creation of domain addresses that increase the advantage of using Namecoin. Domain registration is held by all users, paying for the creation of an account and periodically extending its validity. This forms additional guarantees of user responsibility, however, it also forms certain obstacles in the popularization of cryptocurrency. You can get Namecoin digital money in two ways - by purchasing from other users or mining. The mining algorithm is combined with Bitcoin, which allows you to simultaneously receive a reward for supporting both blockchains. At the same time, consistency with a Bitcoin blockchain provides the functionality of digital money data with additional safety and reliability. In the context of network decentralization, this makes cryptocurrency in demand for use in paying bills, transactions, and transfers.
