Title: [Namecoin] Namecoin client not working
Post by: Hekuro on August 03, 2011, 10:47:52 PM
Hey,

the Namecoin client for Windows isn't working on my Windows 7 64bit.
When I start it on cmd it asks for Windows Firewall permissons and then simply does nothing.
The HDD is showing some activity for a few minutes but then namecoind.exe does nothing anymore.
No output where I should put the config file... Simply nothing! (Only the opened cmd window)
When I close the cmd window it gives me some kind of "close" exception error or something like this.

Can you help me?

Thanks,
Hekuro

You know there is not any GUI for Namecoin?
Run your first namecoind, leave it alone
Then in a cmd, run 'namecoind help'

OK, sorry.
I got it now.

I have two questions:

1. Does it make sense to mine with CPU on namecoins? I've only got 8 MHash/s...
2. If yes for question 1, could you name me some namecoin mining pools?

Thanks :-D

EDIT: Yay. Post 50 :-D

Mining namecoins is even less profitable than mining bitcoins currently :-\
But if you want to try anyway there are about 3 pools, but I only know bitparking.com

But if you want to try poolmining:
