Aim of this bundle is to provide an all in one package that people can install to really use the decentralized part of the namecoin DNS system, instead on relying on external DNS or proxy servers.

How to use it :
- Unzip on the desktop (or where you want)
- Launch :
* linux : namecoinBundle.sh (on gnome, select : Launch in a terminal, must stay open, otherwise relaunch)
* windows : namecoin.bat, then nmcSocks.bat (both must stay open, otherwise relaunch)

If you don't have FoxyProxy in Firefox :
- Install FoxyProxy Standard in firefox (Open "Tools" → "Add-ons" and search for "Foxy Proxy Standard", install this extension and restart Firefox)
- Configure FoxyProx : Go to "Tools" → "Foxy Proxy Standard" → "Options", Open "File" → "Import Settings" and select the file "etc/FoxyProxy.xml"

I don't agree that it is a win win. When Slush's pool started merged mining I found I had problems that is why I came over here to mine. I also notice BTC mining seemed slower. Though those doing the merged mining did get the bonus of extra earnings the rest of us lost out. Also many others like myself left Slush's pool because of it which affects the over all speed of the pool. Slush'e pool at one time was over 2400GH/s now it is down to 1200GH/s half what it was. Yes not all of that is due to him going merged but it is an added factor.

stop selling your nmc so cheap guys! Luke-Jr you single handily are driving down the price of nmc ,,, lol - I refuse to sell mine less that 0.02 - i will wait and I suggest you guys do the same, dont worry the price will go back up

Care to explain how you managed 100 new users in 30min on a thread with 30 views, and also why is your address a restaurant?

Um, no. I cut off ~100GHash by moving webserver (mining.bitcoin.cz) from London to France, then I realized a lot of people has been mining on this URL and setup HTTP proxy here, so this hashrate is back. Unfortunately miners using URL mining.bitcoin.cz  are routed thru France server, so their mining experience may be a little... crappy.

Except this issue there wasn't any downtime on pool today, so those two long rounds are just really bad luck. There's no reason to think that anything is wrong, I'm keeping my eyes on pool all day.

you dont need to register at all you just put your wallet address in as your username
for example if you are doing a command line mining program it would look something like this

Lets pretend your wallet address is 1JVi8s2x8XM3B7giutjjjSogBd1UShz9eS
at the command line put
c:\miner.exe -o http://mining.eligius.st:8332 -u 1JVi8s2x8XM3B7giutjjjSogBd1UShz9eS -p pass

the wallet address you want your reward sent to - thats your username - password is unimportant you can put anything you want there it does not matter

Make sure you replace 1JVi8s2x8XM3B7giutjjjSogBd1UShz9eS with your actual wallet address

Now go download Namecoind for windows

follow this very good tutorial on how to install namecoind make sure you follow the windows instructions

http://dot-bit.org/InstallAndConfigureNamecoin

After you have that up and working and you have your Namecoind wallet address save that

Now go to http://eligius.st/~artefact2/5/1JVi8s2x8XM3B7giutjjjSogBd1UShz9eS

but replace 1JVi8s2x8XM3B7giutjjjSogBd1UShz9eS with your actual Bitcoin wallet address
this is your stats page for mining at eligius

you will see at the top

Bitcoin is a step toward RBE. You may not see it because it has transcendent properties. Wait for it.

What or who is a smoothie?  I know I have seen that named mentioned before, but I honestly have no clue who he or she is off the top of my head and I prefer not to search until after I make the post, I like testing my memory.

Edit:  I only kind of remember smoothie https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=25960;sa=showPosts    I'm guessing just started using a different user name at that point.

Also, what happened to OldMiner, did that person end up being another user or did these forums just annoy him too much?

SolidCoin comment was a joke.

The NameCoin profit thing, I wish I could find a specific link, but I swear I hear that echoed around when I see NameCoin mentioned.  Not that it couldn't function as a currency, but it wasn't the initial intention, of course the word "Coin" is in the name, but still.  If this is true, I wonder what the pros and cons of taking something established and making a currency around it.
