will I not be able to mine any devcoin blocks merged until we hit block 25000?
because its mining right along with no errors but no devcoin blocks are being solved, and I have about 1500 mhash pointed at the merged mining pool with BTC as Parent, DVC, NMC as AUX

|
ive got a pool up right now, BTC as Parent with Devcoin and Namecoin as Aux chains
its working well with no errors and im mining on it as we speak

Actually ArtForz works with coinbasing so far... [01:21:20.063] New Block detected [35357] from source: DaemonSource[bitcoind-mm].namecoin - 0 lagging sources.
[01:21:20.064] New Block detected [23533] from source: DaemonSource[bitcoind-mm].devcoin - 0 lagging sources.

 If I can actually mine blocks that remains to be seen, but this is progress  |

Yes you are right as of right now just to test it out I used Devcoin as parent chain and namecoin as aux chain, I can tell you though based on my experiences with merged mining I am quite sure the patches are working based on the fact that I am not getting any errors merging the two in my poolserverJ setup...
When I get a little time later I will experiment with Bitcoin as the parent chain and devcoin and namecoin as aux chains and see what happens
doublec, do you have a particular namecoind that you recommend? I know I heard you say vinced before but vinced wont coinbase, not the vinced off github anyways. If you have a particular namecoind that will merge and coinbase please let me know
thanks

I think you did it mark, congrats |

ok
we have confirmation ! Pool.devcoin.org is now merged mining devcoins and namecoins and we just successfully solved a devcoin block, while connected to both namecoin and devcoin networks in merged mining mode... !

btw: im messing with the pool right now trying to get merged working so if it acts funky you know why
still not quite sure which namecoind I should be using
supposedly vinced is the best but it wont do coinbasing, and artforz will...

this may be a stupid question but you went in and setup your workers and all that too right? I just tested mining with cgminer-cpuonly from my laptop and I was able to connect no problem cgminer-cpuonly -o pool.devcoin.org:8999 -u tom.tom1 -p tom1

ok I was able to compile it, its downloading block chain now, lets see if it will actually merge mine...
|
|
|
|
|
what are the dependencies here, I am having a hell of a time compiling, can you get me a binary that was compiled on an intel cpu? I am dying to find out of merged works...
|
|
|
|
|
it doesn't exist, obj is an empty directory
any ideas? I am dying to try this out
|
|
|
|
|
Assembler messages:
Fatal error: can't create obj/nogui/util.o: No such file or directory
make: *** [obj/nogui/util.o] Error 1
?

and my pool is ready to merge mine dvc/nmc/btc as soon as the daemon is compatible

Hmm namecoin is a far more massive change from bitcoin than devcoin is, I had kind of been avoiding looking at namecoin because of that. It's entire transaction system and format is presumably different from all the other chains, all of which really don't change the actual chain much. Hmm.
Can namecoin basically just pull the bitcoin changes to keep up with fixes made by the bitcoin team or are they far too different for that?
I was glad to get away from wxWidgets, I do not relish the idea of going back there.
All the namecoin changes are isolated in the namecoin hooks class though. This allows building both bitcoin and namecoin from the same source IIRC. No, namecoin can't pull bitcoin changes - merging would be involved. This is due to the changes made to add the hooks in the first place. Additionally the change to Qt was fairly invasive and causes merge issues. For alt coins I prefer the process of reviewing and cherry picking patches/commits from bitcoin so you can be sure you are understanding and getting exactly what you want. doublec: can you get devcoin merged mining compatible? There is a 120 BTC Bounty for it if you can. |

thanks for the upgrade my friend, I will be updating all my miners tonight from 2.0.8 btw: what happened to 2.0.9?

the owner of the pool got discouraged and scrapped the project  |
