Are there any disadvantages to use that possibility? The same namecoin that now worths like 10$ a piece? Isn't that like a huge option for a pool?

It depends on your hardware how this is handled though.
At Bitminter flushing at namecoin block changes is configurable per worker, in case this is a worry. In practice the income from namecoin mining should far outweigh this. |
