Title: Slush's pool + Namecoin?
Post by: jason44 on May 10, 2013, 08:53:42 PM
I'm trying to mine mine btc AND namecoin on slush's server, but it's not working. I downloaded namecoind and put my payout address on slush's website, but it's been a week now and I haven't mined any namecoin. Do I have to use some special settings in guiminer?

I've seen this :

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.

I use stratum at Slushs' and NMC is not working for me either. It's stopped working a few days ago.

Have you seen my comment ?
Slush pool no longer support getwork interface. Everyone is on stratum now.

The pool operator behind slush pool is not willing to support merged mining for stratum protocol.
That mean no namecoin and also no devcoin or ixcoin.

The only thing we can do is to complain about it.
