Receiving Namecoins

To receive namecoins, you'll need a namecoin address. To generate a new address, do:

./namecoind getnewaddress

Each time you type this command, this will generate a new address. Namecoin addresses start with the letter 'N' or 'M' (example : N1KHAL5C1CRzy58NdJwp1tbLze3XrkFxx9)

Note: old namecoins addresses start with 1, like bitcoin addresses. To avoid confusion, format has been changed.
