Title: BTCGuild - what's happen to merged mining?
Post by: Jinx99 on May 11, 2013, 06:33:33 AM
There was some changes on the pool - getwork servers were switched to serve only mining on PPLNS payment method.
This moment, if you are using getwork protocol, you mining bitcoins on PPLNS, no matter, what is on setup page.

Before changes, on getwork protocol there were also NMC (namecoin) merged mining.
At this moment, NMC balance is no more increasing, no matter what protocol used - getwork or stratum.

Does anybody know how to to fix this? Or this is mining pool issue?

Please, who can do it, repost this message there (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=49417.2360).

Sorry for my english.

Merged mining has always been restricted to mergedmining.btcguild.com:8332 in the past, our only getwork server to support it.  Due to situations that required the pool to close some servers, other DNS entries for getwork were moved to the Merged Mining server for the last week and a half, so most getwork servers were paying NMC during that time since they were all using the merged mining server.

As of yesterday, a new server was made available and DNS distributed back properly.  As a result, this means once again the only NMC generating server from BTC Guild is mergedmining.btcguild.com.  Sorry for the confusion, and I did update the Pool Statistics page (which lists all our servers) to list which servers include NMC.

Bitparking now on DGM payment method for BTC and only about 1-1.3 THash power, so medium time to comlete block there is about 8-10 hours. With wery bad luck - even up to 3 days. Seems to be the same as to mtred.com
