I mean merged mining bitcoin and namecoin, whether solo or in a pool i dont understand "or the pools now returning more nmc?" before merged mining there were seperate namecoin and bitcoin pools, with merged mining you can both together now, |

Necro Anyone think mining namecoins will turn profitable? The better question (and maybe the answer to your question follows from the answer to that one) would be: Will namecoins be useful enough to gain some widespread adoption for use as DNS system? |

The idea behind Namecoins is awesome, we need a distributed lookup system badly.
The implementation is lacking. It needs some dev love and to become more user friendly...
It's gotta get to the point that like TOR, people can just download a browser bundle and it'll work.
No reason to use a .bit if noone is able to access it.
Chicken and egg since vinced introduced merged-mining and effectively killed it .... no devs want to work on it because there are no longer incentives, i.e. namecoins are nearly worthless and no-one particularly is using the dns part of it; no users, no devs ... and vice versa. |

or adoption for some other purpose |

Wonder if this is still true considering:
-NMC diffculty is 2/3 of BTC diffculty
-But it takes almost 600 NMC to get 1 BTC
-Merged mining means a certain pool could be controlling 90% of the network hash rate
It will be neat diffcult to restart the project without changing the fundamental logic, I.e. diffculty goes down when the network hash rate goes up

Yeah Seems smart how would that fix anything? obviously they're less valued; so the supply should be restricted more to bring up each value |
