  Description     : Easy to use Namecoin client

This package provides a lightweight Namecoin client which protects
you from losing your namecoins or names in a backup mistake or computer
failure. Also, Electrum-NMC does not require waiting time because it does
not download the Namecoin blockchain.
.
Features of Electrum-NMC:
.
  * Instant on: Your client does not download the blockchain. It uses a
    network of specialized servers that index the blockchain.
  * Forgiving: Your wallet can be recovered from a secret seed.
  * Safe: Your seed and private keys are encrypted on your hard drive.
    They are never sent to the servers.
  * Low trust: Information received from the servers is verified using
    SPV. Servers are authenticated using SSL.
  * No downtimes: Your client is not tied to a particular server; it
    will switch instantly if your server is down.
  * Ubiquitous: You can use the same wallet on different computers, they
    will synchronize automatically.
  * Cold Storage: Sign transactions from a computer that is always
    offline. Broadcast them using a machine that does not have your keys.
  * Reachable: You can export your private keys into other Namecoin
    clients.
  * Electrum-NMC is open source and is a fork of Electrum, which was
    first released in November 2011.

I plan to maintain this package with support provided by NLnet, and to contact
the Debian Cryptocoin Team for review and sponsorship.
