Title: Why my account on Slush is not generating namecoins?
Post by: Merla on June 01, 2013, 10:25:15 AM
I had to change of pool, with my new blade BE from Bitminter to Slush. Filled in with my namecoin wallet, but doesn't work.
With bitminter i was generating namecoins without any problem

Does any one know why?

Slush pool only mines namecoins on the getwork interface. Those coins are then paid to all pool users, stratum included. The hash rate of getwork only miners is low making finding a namecoin block hard so payouts are not so often as pools where their entire hashrate is mining namecoins.
