My rejects have spiked recently? Anyone else having this issue?
Pool wide is still under 1%..... Mine sit at 0.2% You may want to restart your miners, to make sure they are on the new server. The old server is still up, but the new one is far more efficient.

I was wondering: Are there were any plans to implement merged mining with namecoin here when the time comes?

With the new framework I will happily implement new coins as requested.

Excellent. I think it would be good for the pool to have support for merged mining with namecoin when it becomes available. Given that this would allow people to mine namecoins simultaneously (hence much greater profit for miners in the short term) the pools which implement this first and with little server downtime could stand to gain a huge number of users. Incase you weren't aware, the block number for migrating namecoin to the merged mining system has been brought forward to block 19200 (which could even be reached within the next two weeks). http://dot-bit.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=217

So how does this work? ex ¼ shares on NMC pool, and ¾ shares on BTC pool? Or do you use separate logins/PW's!

No, basically your shares would count for both. [caution=overly simplistic]You would collect together bitcoin and namecoin transactions together, compute some hashes, and send shares to both the bitcoin pool and the namecoin pool.[/caution] It would be as if you suddenly had double the hashing power on condition that the extra hashing power is spent on Namecoin. A solution of dividing shares between Bitcoin and Namecoin is no good. Of course, it would be better to spend all of one's hashing power on the coin which is most profitable. This has led to the problem of massive swings in hashing power for Namecoin and merged mining is the proposed solution. The idea has been around for a while, it's being pushed by key namecoin developers, and there are testnets of merged mining running now. The main issue is that it requires a fundamental change to Namecoin itself, a change which will be rolled out at block 19200 (Namecoin is now at block 19004 but the difficulty is nearly 100`000 so it will probably take 3 weeks or so before the change is officially made). The Namecoin pools seem to be much more up to speed on this stuff and already prepared to switch to merged mining the moment it becomes available. I think I will probably just move to one of those pools when the time comes and I very much doubt I'd be the only miner to do so. These pools are very small and I predict serious server problems so I'll make sure I'm ready to fall back to solo mining just incase. I know many people don't care very much about all these new coins but I feel Namecoin has something going for it. Check out https://www.masterpool.eu/merged and https://www.masterpool.eu/statistics. Mine hard and mine smart.

Ok, the new framework is SOOO close now. I just need to figure out how to script a perl module for nginx to handle the multi-pool proxying through one port. The proportional btc pool is actually up and running already for testing. You just can't see the stats yet (I can though on the test site ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) ) The database is already merged for the new version as well. The pool has been running steady on it for awhile. The stats reporting is quite different as it's tough to have it all on a dashboard readout. That said, each pool will have detailed stats along with an overall stats page. Top hashrates will be viewable by pool, and overall. The other portions of stats and payout are grouped by currency, so all your coins can be paid out in one place.

On another note: LETS FIND A BLOCK!!!

This update is easily as big of an update as v1-v5 was, if not bigger!

HAH! I got it! I got the pool proxy running correctly (even with Long-Polling)! If anyone wants to help test the new proxy set your miner to port 80! It should just redirect you for now to the current pool as that is everyone's default. If anyone want's to give the new site or proportional pool a trial run, visit beta.simplecoin.us There are a few tiny issues still, mostly stats reporting, but soon the new framework will be in place ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

I've also visited beta.simplecoin.us and had a look round. Things look good. I haven't tested the proportional pool though.

switched the proxy on for ports 80 & 8337. All mining is now through the proxy.
Just a few more tweaks and the beta site will go live!
Then.... SMPPS.
Any other coin requests? As best I can tell IX and IO are dead. Solidcoin 2.0 is in testing. NMC is waiting for merged mining.

Thanks RyNinDaCleM, our second block of the month!
I'm afraid I haven't found a block for the pool yet but so long as merged mining will be working here the moment we hit block 19200 I'll keep pointing all of my hashing power at this pool. Now that you have the framework for multiple coins it might be a good idea to add the main merged mining testnet before we reach 19200; I'll happily point a card at it for testing.

Well, I wouldn't want a testnet on the main site, perhaps once the site is completed and live I can mess with it some.

Cool. I've sent a small donation your way. Good luck with the merged mining.
