Blockchain says Slush got block 237278, but his site doesn't agree? And that payout address is not right either. https://blockchain.info/tx/05250d0d298a075bc9cf7c224e2421d7387f1996d82dbef1982f36cb43acbb4e Whose is the error?

currious would like to know the answer as well. Could it be he also has a solo rig and this is reporting a chain found that way?

I think someone might be faking the slush "signature". I'm not wholly certain how who mines what block is assigned, but have a look at the coinbase:

237246: ��/P2SH/��Q�R
464d/slush/
237270:  ֞/P2SH/��Q �549bf/slush/
237278:  ޞM�/slush/R,�mmY#4�d�O� �g�@?�J�-_h�1q�s�


Additionally, the payout address usually used is 1AqTMY, but the questionable block is 152MGP.

Again, I don't know exactly what's going on here but I see a broken pattern.

user wtff in the irc chat said it was disabled, and I have been mining for 30 hours on this pool with a namecoin address added yet no results

[autonomous42]

Namecoin only works on getwork and the getwork of the pool is only 2-3% of total power. Don't expect anything for days.

you have to have the namecoin miner running with your cgminer or other software for it to register namecoins for you. been running it for a little over 3 weeks and have 0.00407408 namecoins

False. Your namecoin miner does nothing in slush's pool. I've been mining for about the same amount of time and I have .5 NMC. Current NMC round is 1 day, 19:07:35. Like I said, it's getwork only and using stratum means you are not participating in the mining of a NMC block. And paying the 10% fee to use getwork is more loss than you will ever gain via namecoin.

ok then I must be hallucinating and the bitcoins that are registered in my name aren't real. currently mining with stratum not get work. very currious. sooo you saying that i'm lying is ok but it hasn't been that long maybe gremlins are eating your namecoins. last namecoin round ended last night again for your reading pleasure you will see the data from the stats page.

All you need is an active Namecoin wallet listed on your account page, and you will be credited with namecoins as-and-when they are found by the 2% still running Getwork.
I am 100% sure this is how it works, as both my workers are on Stratum, and I still get Namecoins credited to me when they are found.

If you don't have a Namecoin wallet listed, then you aren't credited any Namecoins. Simple as.

If you are mining on stratum, then your miner specifically will not be contributing to a namecoin block. Since the pool is almost entirely moved over to stratum, namecoins are generated very infrequently. However, anyone with a namecoin address associated with their account will get paid namecoins based on their score in the next bitcoin block that is found. When namecoins are mined by a getwork user, the payout is distributed by bitcoin round score to all miners with a namecoin address, not just those on getwork. Hope that was clearer.

makes sense, so what do you do with the darned things anyways and can you sell partial coins like you can bit, maybe keep some getworks running just to get the namecoin's

[oroboras]

I sell mine on https://btc-e.com/ for BTC.

You can trade them on the exchanges and also use them to buy domain names.

It's really not worth running a miner on getwork just to get the NMC.

[sgbullion]

can someone explain to me (yes I know it took 4 pages to answer my last question) why I recieved nothing the last block, ran my miner the entire time and it lasted like 2 hours, not sure what happened, I had almost 75 shares towards the end then they just went poof.

[oroboras]

if the block is still going through the 100 confirmations, the volume you receive (should) correct its self. Mine said none, at first, then after a couple of confirmations, reset its self to 0.003BTC

Give it time. If it fails to come back at the end of the confirmations, post again about it, and Slush will probably look into it.

In case you missed the update on the pool webpage:

"21.05.2013
Bug in bitcoind caused many invalid blocks generated in recent hours. Thanks to cooperation with bitcoin developers, a bugfix has been deployed. Pool is now back in normal operation."
