blkmon is designed to keep pushpoold running however it looks like under namecoind it's preventing us from finding a block or at least I believe it is.
blkmond is designed to inform pushpoold of a new block being found on the network so pushpoold can inform long pollers. I'd be very surprised if it was preventing you from finding a block. Have you modified it to work on the namecoin network? |

As others have noted this appears to be a Mt Gox address. What makes you think it is associated with mybitcoin? |

I think something should be done to stopp all transfers from these final destination wallet addresses.
This would make bitcoin an unsafe currency to trade with. Say you as a merchant receive 500 BTC. These BTC are then later marked as coming from mybitcoin.com. The merchant can no longer use these coins and are out of pocket. |

What would be the best tactic to buy 25,000 - 30,000 Namecoins without moving the price up to high?
Spread out over a longer time? Or place a big order at a fixed price? Many orders at different prices?
If you want to buy this amount for a bulk price, PM me and we can work something out. |

Also after 20 minutes an 2 different blocks, ( looks like it goes always on zero when a new block start.)
Block rate shown by the pool is just an estimate. It drops to zero when a block is found as it starts the calculation again. I don't keep historical information of shares needed to keep the calculation active to save disk space. |

The difficulty is about to go up in a few hours. I am solo mining, and have been working on my block for hours. When the difficulty goes up will I continue to work on the block I am already working on at the old difficulty or does it instantly jump to the new difficulty? Basically trying to figure out if the difficulty jump and I have not finished the current solo block should I just stop my miners and go back to my bitcoin pool...
The difficulty goes up on a new block, so yes, your miner will start working at the new difficulty. |

can they use the same namecoin as username or do i need a different one for each miner ?
On the bitparking pool, same namecoin address for all miners is fine. |
|
|
|
is there a gui inside namecoin.exe ?
There is no gui. it's all controlled by the JSON-RPC server, similar to bitcoind. |

Yea I've heard a few people query this slow process...not sure where the problem lies though as I've not seen anyone bother to give an answer on it..
it's the same as bitcoin. It takes 120 confirmation for a block to mature. |

you assuming everyone that mines is selling asap...you can not assume we are mining at a loss just because the price during the slow difficulty is low...Just like with my real job I dont spend everything i make as soon as i get paid. a portion goes into savings/investments. Holding on to NMC is an investment for me.
grod's point is if you mined bitcoins instead, and bought namecoins with those bitcoins, you'd end up with more namecoins than if you mined them. In addition the price would rise, helping to reach the magical ratio that causes bitcoin miners to join or leave the network, making the difficulty more likely to be stable. |

It's normal for hashespersec to be zero when using an external miner.

I implemented the API but was told by the bitcoin chart maintainers that they didn't list exchanges where the main currency wasn't BTC. In the NMC<->BTC exchange the currency being bought/sold is namecoins. You can get charts at http://www.nmcwatch.com though. |

You ready with the proper server equipment to handle the rush? I suspect you will see >1000 GH/s this time around on your pool alone. But I could be wrong, I'm just going on the potential GH/s we have out there already and assuming that less than 1/10th of it comes to NMC even for a few days.
It's been running on a dedicated server for a while now, and handled 250+ fine when I switched to it from the old VPS I was using before. I don't think we'll see 300+ again personally. I think the namecoin/bitcoin price ratio will adjust much faster than in previous times when few knew about it. |

The highest hashing rate I have seen on your pool Chris was about 300Gh/s. What on your end does it show is the highest your pool has been at?
About 305Gh/s. It's about 1/5th of that now. |

When a user registers an account, they need to be assigned a permanent bitcoin address that the user can send BTCs to, and request to withdraw BTCs from.
AFAIK there is no way, with the current bitcoin client, to request BTC's be withdrawn from a particular address. |

db_cxx.h is included with the berkeleydb dev tools. Just install version 4.6-4.8 and update your include paths and There's a package that includes this that you can install with apt-get, I just forget the name off the top of my head.
See the build-unix.txt file in the source for what the dependencies are for Ubuntu, |

As for namecoin network - seems like people do not see any value in namecoins, thats why they switched to bitcoins now - it gives more profit.
Namecoin is not ready for wide distribution, the whole thing about distributed DNS should be implemented first - then (maybe) people will return.
I agree, the software needs to be easier to use, and support for domain lookup in programs needs to be implemented. I'm working on Firefox support for Namecoin lookup at the moment. |
