Does not appear to allow you to register a new name everything is already registered including random letters and numbers just bashed in at the keyboard.
Edit: and why not just allows existing user to go to the register pager and only give them choice of iXcoin address to add or tell them only to add iXcoin address otherwise it rejects the new additions of other addresses.
I just registered one and it worked fine. PM me the name(s) you tried if you want me to investigate, and the error message you got. I can't allow adding an IXcoin address like that otherwise people can try and guess others names and add their own ixcoin address which can't be changed. The cost of me avoiding passwords on the site. I consider the names to be 'throwaway' so I don't think the burden of registering new ones occasionally to get new features is too great. At some point I'll have the 'dust' in old accounts automatically be sent to the relevant addresses so it won't be lost. I just need to work out the best way of doing that without paying fees for small amounts. |

That's quite unfortunate.
I think it's early days for devcoin and it'll improve over time. Probably a good thing since it might avoid the hype/bust cycle of other coins. |

Have you talked with Unthinkingbit or markm about that?
Yes, there was a discussion in the devcoin thread about it when I asked about source code repositories to contribute. |

Might try this pool out. Only thing it needs is merged mining with Devcoin. (when that is implemented)
I was keen at one point to implement merged mining in devcoin. But there turned out not to be a stable source repository for it and one of the official clients had an invalid checkpoint making downloading the block chain not possible. It looks difficult to contribute to as a result. If there were a stable repository, accepting pull requests, it'd be more likely to happen. |

Awesome! We should be able to merge mine Ixcoin within the week/year! Do you think you'll add ixcoin to this pool? Or will you setup a new pool for the transition?
Ixcoin is all set to go, just waiting for the chain switch on block. It'll be interesting to see how the extra coin will impact mining with the increase in long polls. I'll monitor that and decide whether to keep it or move it to another pool at that point. New users of mmpool can register now and add an ixcoin address. It'll be used when it is turned on. Current users will need to re-register under a different name to add an ixcoin address. I'll have to work out some way of dealing with 'dust' in old accounts. |

Fees for i0coin on the pool have dropped from 10% down to 5%, the same as bitcoin and namecoin, now. I'll monitor how that goes over the next day or two.

When will your i0coin patch into the client be ready? Estimates? Day, week, month?
I'm not giving an estimate. Quicker if someone actually does the legwork and converts the files so all I have to do is build. |

I am getting about 15-20% stales using Phoenix miner (Version 1.6.2).
My pool always seem to show higher stales with Phoenix, I'm not sure why. Namebit also saw the same thing with their pool software. The method the merge pool is using to handle longpolls combined with stale shares is a bit inefficient too (related to the merge mining proxy I'm using) - something I plan to improve on. |

15,000 IXC sent to DoubleC for first half of merged mining bounty.
Thanks, received! |

When is the new i0coin logo going to be used for the client?
I'm working on it (for the client). I suck at graphics and am having issues. If anyone wants to prepare a patch it'd be much appreciated! |

I've released source and binaries for v32509 of i0coin. The only change is a checkpoint added at block 161,000 to give a checkpoint past the merged mining switch on point. Downloads are at http://i0coin.bitparking.com. |

The bitparking merged mining pool solved its first bitcoin and namecoin blocks recently so I can confirm that merge mining of the three chains (bitcoin, namecoin and i0coin) are working on the live networks. It worked in testing of course but it's nice to get confirmation that it works 'for real'. |
|
|
|
|
The merged mining pool found its first bitcoin block a few blocks ago, and its first namecoin block a few hours ago, so I can confirm that merge mining is working successfully.

If anyone is using old versions of cgminer, please update to the latest version before using a merged mining pool like mmpool. The older versions don't always respond to the longpoll notifications from the pool. This was an optimisation used in cgminer but it breaks with merged mining. Notifications will occur when auxiliary chains have a new block but cgminer will think because the primary chain hasn't changed it can continue mining. You'll get higher numbers of stales with these cgminer versions.

As mentioned in the main i0coin thread, now that i0coin supports merged mining I've modified my existing pool software to merge mine Bitcoin, Namecoin, i0coin, IXcoin and Devcoin. Payment is 'Pay Per Share' rather than the proportional system used by my other bitparking pools. Details at http://mmpool.bitparking.com. There may be bugs in the i0coin merged mining implementation or the pool software so there may be a few ups and downs in the pool at this early stage as I stamp them out. Contact me via email (email is on the pool website) if you have questions/problems. |

@doublec: Didn't have a look at the sources. I remember vinced reduced the number of possible randomized IRC channel names for bootstrapping on namecoin. Perhaps we have a similar problem with i0coind. The number of possible IRC channels might be too much for a few nodes on testnet.
I don't bother with 'official' testnets. I create my own isolated test networks by not connecting to irc, dns, etc and manually bring up nodes connected to each other. It makes it easier to control. |

Do you recommend getting a new address for each chain for this pool?
Namecoin addresses seem to be the toughest to come by. It might be easier now, but we'll see.
Didn't know if using the same namecoin address that I used for an Eligius pool would cause any issues.
Reusing the same namecoin address should be fine. As long as you have access to funds deposited in that address of course! |

iocoin now on, are any pools open with btc, nmc, and ioc?
To test merge mining I've put up http://mmpool.bitparking.com. This will merge mine btc, nmc and i0c as a PPS pool. You'll need to register a user id to use with your miner, and associate nmc/btc/i0c addresses with that userid. Once you've created a userid you can't change those addresses. You can leave an address blank to not mine that particular chain. Let me know any issues/suggestions. It's pretty basic, I'm in the midst of rewriting my pool software so this is a temporary hack with my old pool software. |

Block 160,000 passed so merge mining on i0coin is now possible.
