every name with less than 8 characters will migrate with a bts-NAME prefix

I thought it was every name less than 8 chars reg'd before june 8th migrates as is and only names reg'd after 6/8 get prefixed???

[fav]

bts2.0 ID will follow migration？？

all names prior to the 8th (?) june announcement will migrate.
all names with 8 or more characters will migrate
every name with less than 8 characters registered after 8th june will migrate with a bts-NAME prefix

Yes, I can see the future now...

'If you'd like to register a BTS account name, please download the NXT client, http://nxt.org/ and head over to the NXT market-place where all the BTS names have been put up for sale by their one owner.'

Molecatcher will clearly go for big $$$

Yeah... this is probably why account names should be in a different namespace than domain names. Or at least fixed-fee pure-ownership account names that can also be used by clients to access a server should have a far less desirable TLD by convention. And the other namespace designed to be used for more professional domain names should have the far more desirable TLD and should be based on a leasing model.

Also, I think we need to get rid of the idea of every account having a name. I don't think assigning a random sequence of letters and numbers as a name is a good solution. There should be a separation between the fee of creating a new account and the fee of adding on a name to the account. Many accounts (especially with stealth transfers) shouldn't need a name at all. Some may even be okay with holding off on adding a name to their main account and just using their unique ID instead. User clients can always use a local alias to map to the unique account ID (and in that case they don't have to be limited to the blockchain constraints on account names, e.g. using Unicode). This also means that the blockchain can charge a far more reasonable fee for non-premium account names than just the cost of creating an account (which should remain low).

Are there people in the test?

[wuyanren]

Obviously, this comes from the same person.

In fact its very easy via RPC .. in python with a dictionary .. it should doable in less than 10 lines

But how are so many accounts being produced at once? Seems like some kind of program is creating them automatically. Is that possible?

this thread is proof. but it shouldn't be hard to write a script for the headless client

That makes an income of 1k to 5k BTS for the DAC in just 24h ..
+5%

Did someone find a way to register without paying fees?  Looks like someone is either spamming the network or hogging cheap names to be sold for higher later.

min fee is 0.1 BTS... you can register names forever basically. not expensive

Tragedy of the commons.

Every 10 seconds someone is mass producing account names using random-as-all-hell words from the dictionary. Even now it's continuing. Here's a list of the most recent batch:

Looks like someone really, really wants to take over 8+ character names. Heh.

welp, good idea though. If you plan on selling names (future domains?). it's almost free
