Wow look at realasicminer go! Is there an end in sight, as far as how high he can go?  I know right!? their speed has been jumping up almost every day! I would really like to know what ASICs they got their hands on. Given the rising power (rather than one big boom) it seems almost like they're assembling their own Are you in here realasicminer?  |

Not sure what you mean having to pay for the miner. There's no extra fee for using BitMinter client over other mining clients.
If your miner only works on your pool then anyone who uses your miner has to pay you a fee. e.g. mine 100BTC has to pay you 1BTC (>$100) Of course everyone else mining on the pool does also, but if the miner is locked into the pool, then the fee is locked in also. |

Thank you very much for the in-depth analysis, always fascinating to read these reports. It clearly shows indeed that thanks to the extra NMC and mining fees income, even with bad luck the actual rewards stay close to 0% fee PPS.
I think the only pool that gives better payouts (disregarding luck) would be the BitParking MM pool, because of the extra DVC/IXC, although they don't include mining fees in payouts. I'm currently testing it and it is, I would say, fine for a geek user but totally unusable for newbies and the Average Joe. I'll probably head back to BitMinter after testing...
Again, thank you for taking the time to show the worried miners that no Evil Force was plotting against us ;-)

Hello! I just joined your pool with one card to test it out before move more. I don't understand the merged mining thing... I can see that I am making some NMC but i am not interested in NMC, only BTC, so my question: . Do NMC mining takes something from BTC mining power?, if so, is there is any way to disable it? Another not related: . I am trying bitminter client (just for the fun of it) and I wonder, I don't see any monitoring feature in it, (temps, fan speed, card % activity, voltage, etc) however in "Menu - view" there is an option that says use Farenheit (F), so does it have monitoring or not? hehe thank you! Edit: typo |

No, so don't worry. For disabling, switch pool. |

No, it gives you (currently) almost 8% more income without slowing down your BTC mining at all. But if you don't want that you can set NMC donation to 100% to get rid of them. No need to switch pools to get rid of extra income, the pool is always happy to accept it as donations.  . I am trying bitminter client (just for the fun of it) and I wonder, I don't see any monitoring feature in it, (temps, fan speed, card % activity, voltage, etc) however in "Menu - view" there is an option that says use Farenheit (F), so does it have monitoring or not? hehe It has temperature monitoring only for BFL FPGAs and BFL ASICs. Monitoring of GPUs got stuck on the TODO list while I have been busy with other things. |

Yes, many of us will be affected by the Vircurex hack I lost coins too, not that I thought it would never happen but it always sucks. The https link is dead but for those interested just use http://vircurex.comThe only good thing that it reminds us all is how important it is to be the real owner of all the addresses we care about... |

that explains it thank you, I like cgminer more anyway but i tested it because it looks cool!, and if in the future you add a temperature and fan gauge it would be even cooler! thanks |

8 stale nmc blocks in a row Not stale, fixed to show "processing" now, that was a bug. We're getting so many namecoin blocks it's falling way behind.. I'll get this sped up this weekend. The payment server has a rather slow connection to the rest of the system, that's becoming a problem as we generate blocks faster. Apologies for that. |

Just to clarify:
Merged mining of namecoins takes place on Stratum, GBT (getblocktemplate) and getwork.
Some pools choose to do namecoins only on getwork. That is a choice. It is easy to do with Stratum too if the pool op wants to. It has nothing to do with Stratum being a difficult protocol in any way.
It is normal to make many more namecoins than bitcoins. This is because namecoin has a lower difficulty than bitcoin, and because there are 50 NMC per block but only 25 BTC per block.

But is the NMC generation rate tied to the BTC rate? In other words, if BTC difficulty increases, will NMC generation difficulty also rise, or will NMC generation rate fall?
