What are you asking, exactly?

[finway]

you know ,   

Merged mining pool writes some bits into the blockchain,

where can i find this bits (shit)

You come across as an uneducated redneck calling things you don't understand "shit".  As if somehow the namecoin bits are dirty.  Can't have these block chains comingling.

Anyways to answer your question it is located in the coinbase field in the block reward transaction.  A field that serves no purpose in Bitcoin block chain other than to add randomness to hash generation (extra nonce).

Here is an example from two recent blocks

One has namecoin hash and one doesn't.  If someone didn't tell you they were there you wouldn't even have known.

I dont know why you even bother answering him. Motivating him to continue being a dipshiet?

Someone else might want to know to inform themselves.

Thanks

but how could the blockchain be altered just to accomodate namecoin? did everyone have to update their clients or something?

Only namecoin clients. Bitcoin allows for pretty much arbitrary data in the coinbase tx.

The ones who needed to update are those who want to write to coinbase field (i.e. solo merged miners or merged pool operators).

The ONLY purpose of the coinbase field is to provide different block header hashes.  Once a block is signed the coinbase field serves no purpose except if a client needs to validate a block.  Even then it is just an arbitrary number.

To bitcoin client the namecoin hash is just an arbitrary number.  Pretty smart huh?  Putting the namecoin hash in a field which is an arbitrary number.
