My understanding is TRC would need to be programmed to be able to be a secondary chain to Bitcoin to be merge mineable.  BTC is the primary chain, so unless this is changed when the source code was made for TRC, then I think that means it can't be merged.

This is correct. TRC (and PPCoin) can't be merge mined as a secondary chain. This means you can't mine bitcoins along with them. You could (with patches) mine them as the primary chain and mine other alt chains at the same time - just not bitcoin.

doublec, What's the word on i0coin balances being paid out?

doublec, What's the word on i0coin balances being paid out?

They'll be sent out before the end of the month.

[doublec]

i0coin balances are in the process of being sent out now. You should see your coins appear in the next few hours depending on network speed.

[doublec]

All i0coin balances have now been sent.

Weird, my i0client won't sync with the block chain, so I can't confirm receipt of the coins. The client says I need to upgrade or others need to upgrade. I wonder what's changed.

What client are you using? Try deleting the block chain (not your wallet.dat!) and redownoading it.

I'm using the windows binary that is on your site.

Cash out and create a new ID if you'd like to update your addresses.  That's what I do.

That's by design. It means it's impossible for a hacker to change your bitcoin payout address. Allowing changes would also require users to have passwords which adds another whole level of security that's uneeded in the current design. Just create a new username if you want to change things.

That actually makes sense. Thanks.

I have problems connecting to the pool. Is there something wrong on it now?

Pool is down for some maintenance.

Pool is back online.

Is it possible to drop the minimum withdraw limit of BTC to 0.01. If you guys did this I think more people would be willing to use this pool. the steep 0.10 withdraw limit is a little high for most casual miners. Just a thought.

It'd be nice to do that but my understanding is that a 0.01 limit causes quite a bit of wallet fragmentation. Once recipients of those 0.01 withdrawals try to do a spend with a number of them as inputs they'll end up paying larger fees.

Pool down for 5 minute maintenance.

Edit: Pool is back up. The pool's bitcoin wallet has been defragmented.

I actually appreciate the higher minimum.  Back when my main pool was MtRed, I'd withdraw as soon as I reached that 0.01 BTC minimum.  Now it feels more like a reward when I withdraw, even though it takes me about 10 days to get to BitParking's minimum amount.

Merge mining is temporarily disabled. Payment is still made for the alt coins from pool reserves. I'll post here when it's re-enabled.

EDIT: I expect it to be a 24-48 hours from now to re-enable.
EDIT2: Merge mining is re-enabled.
