Merged Mining has begun ?

[Beta-coiner1]

Just saw as of 9:40 this morning Merged mining has become active.I wonder what pools have this implemented currently.

Of the three currently offering merged mining masterpool.eu is by far the best.

It seems solid but considering what is currently going on with the pool don't think it be can recommended at this time !!!

I think Simplecoin is better for the moment considering Tenebrix can also be done via CPU there for the moment.

ATM it doesn't make any sense to mine on the pool. We have 80k+ incoming connections from a Botnet. Unfortunately I have no possibility at hand to filter the connections (as they are coming from several IP addresses). For that reason I'll shut down the mining ingress servers. Unfortunately this means you can not mine on MasterPool. But we need the hashing power on NMC blockchain and I just hope most miners have configured a fallback and will be switching to another pool.

MasterPool will be back as soon as the storm is over (and I got some sleep).

The complete roundup can be found on NMC Forum: http://dot-bit.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=2110#p2110

which is the third ?

Nmcbit.com would be the third by Mr. Davincij15.

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,
    "hashespersec" : 0,
    "testnet" : false,
    "keypoololdest" : 1309979279,
    "paytxfee" : 0.00000000,
    "errors" : ""
}

Simplecoin looks like they are not showing a different difficulty for namecoins then for bitcoins. It seems from the stats that they show they will pay equal amount of NMC o BTC which is not right as namecoin is at a lower difficulty and should be solved more often. I hope that this is just a stats issue and the extra NMC is not going to the pool owners.

The only pool thats showing the proper and has been working perfectly for me for the last couple of hours is masterpool.eu  they have two servers, a US and EU server, so try both to see which one gets you less stales, Im getting less than 0.2% stales

Are you running the latest software version, 0.3.24.63? If so, you might not be connected to other 0.3.24.63 nodes. Try doing an add node to one:

Code:

namecoind -addnode=178.32.31.41

That node is run but the dot-bit.org maintainer.

Yeah, already fixed it yesterday. It was the addnode thingy

I am wondering if them pool owners are getting all the NMC mined as I have not seen a single payout listed for me in either the simplecoin.us or masterpool.eu that I have tried for more than a few hours each with the same result no NMC in the account. Since there has been 26 blocks solved since the merged mining took place someone is getting them coins not the miners it seems though. So has anyone ever seen payout into their account at them two pools?

Yup, Masterpoo.eu pays:

Yes I have had a payout there now although nothing like yours going by mine at the time you got your payouts particularly this one 2011-10-09 13:10:06   Earnings from submitted shares:   1.22554176 NMC I got 2011-10-09 13:10:05   Earnings from submitted shares:   0.03681885 NMC so roughly 33x less and was using 800mh/s to get it leaving you at ~27gh/s compared to mine were you using that much hash power at the time?

It was a short round, I guess you didn't get enough shares in.

If you would not mind what was your hash rate at the time 33x less than you seems a little excessive even with short round unless you have huge difference compared to me..

1200 Mhash/s.

Damn I had 800mh/s as I said so not a whole lot more I'll give it a try again latet with 1200 on it for a few hours and see what I get for payouts on the block now I know what I should be seeing close too. I was using cgminer 2.0.5 you?

Yup, Cgminer 2.0.x
