So ... Namecoin should be merged mined now.

[ripper234]

We're at block 19,202. Are we seeing a huge increase in the hash power yet?
Where should I look for it?

Which pools are merged-mining Namecoin?

[CosicMiner]

Merged mining here:

www.nmcbit.com

simplecoin.us

masterpool.eu

[kano]

Yeah just look for the extra data in the bitcoin block-chain if they ever find a bitcoin block

[John Tobey]

Six blocks in the last hour, five of them merged.  Namecoin is back to more or less its peak hash rate.

simplecoin.us doesn't appear to quite grasp that namecoin difficulty is not the same as bitcoin difficulty; they're quoting me the same estimated payout for both and don't appear to have solved any namecoin blocks even though they should've by now. They don't even have a place to list Namecoin shares though. (I wonder if the work's just been wasted or if the payout has gone into the pool owner's pocket.) masterpool.eu was under a DDoS earlier by Bitcoin supporters. nmcbit.com lost a whole bunch of supposedly accepted shares earlier and isn't reporting me as having earned any Bitcoin shares at all.

Is there a problem with Namecoin?

When I launched Namecoind today it started downloading blocks, but it stalled at 19,199.
Can anyone confirm this?

Code:

{
    "version" : 32463,
    "balance" : 2792.02602867,
    "blocks" : 19199,
    "connections" : 8,
    "proxy" : "",
    "generate" : false,
    "genproclimit" : -1,
    "difficulty" : 94035.90217415,

update to the new version, derp

wait a second, so far it's only worth an extra 3% to merge mine because you mine BTC and NMC at the same rate? lolwut

Where's the newest version?

[bulanula]

probably dot-bit.org !?

[MaGNeT]

probably dot-bit.org !?

Look at my getinfo dump, it's the same version as on dot-bit.org ...

[thirdlight]

3.24.63 is the latest version.

You are probably stuck connected to un-upgraded peers.

Try: -addnode=178.32.31.41
as a commandline arg

Things are running smooth @ MasterPool

I'm getting about 9% extra from merged mining in current NMC price

you dont need to run namecoind to merge mine you can use a bitcoin client at the merging pools.
