Names for Basecamp 0.10.3. Public LEZ testnet.

What you can do today

Release Names for Basecamp 0.10.3 runs on the public LEZ testnet. It is for Basecamp 0.3.2 on macOS (Apple silicon) and Linux x86_64.

  • Register a name, written bare: alice. It takes a refundable deposit of 1,000,000 testnet LEZ, returned in full when you release the name. Names don't expire. Registering takes about 20 minutes.
  • Pay and be paid under your name, privately: the chain doesn't show who paid whom or how much.
  • Messages: direct messages and group chats between names, end-to-end encrypted over Logos messaging, through Basecamp's chat module.
  • Post on a public board, signed by your name.
  • Move to private: move your testnet tokens into a private account.
  • Free testnet tokens: the Welcome screen offers Get free tokens, 2,000,000 testnet LEZ from the Names faucet, once a day.

Install

Steps as published in the project's README for release 0.10.3.

1. The command line. It proves your private changes on your machine, and the app uses it for them.

curl -fsSL https://logos-names.wrapit.workers.dev/install.sh | sh
names setup

macOS on Apple silicon and Linux x86_64. One binary with the LEZ wallet built in; the public LEZ testnet is the default. names --help and man names cover every command. […]

2. The Names app in Basecamp (0.3.2; macOS on Apple silicon or Linux x86_64).

  1. Add the repository once: Settings (bottom icon in the sidebar) → Package Repositories → under Add a repository, paste 
    https://logos-names.wrapit.workers.dev/basecamp/logos-repo.json
    and press Add. An LNS entry appears in the list.
  2. Install from Applications (not Package Manager): search names, click Names, and press Install in the dialog. It lists two packages under Required, the Names app and the Names module. Both install together; you do not install the module yourself.
  3. Press Launch. The Welcome screen checks the command line is installed and walks you through picking your name.

[…] Every download is signed with the release key (scripts/release-signing-key.pub, fingerprint SHA256:dAQbSDw6smVMxkwJdQ2104U3Xem+cDOldUmpW+wQzcE); the installer checks it with ssh-keygen.

Limits

  • Private changes go through the names command line, so it must be installed.
  • Messages need both sides to turn them on.
  • One- and two-character names are reserved.
  • Testnet names don't carry over to mainnet automatically.
  • Basecamp messages use Basecamp's chat module. The Android app uses its own format, Names Messages. They are different formats, so treat them as separate.
