What i don't understand is why sometimes a member finds a namecoin and a bitcoin block at the same time. If i count right we had 4 such doubles. Is that just coincidence ?
November 08, 2011, 02:24:06 PM
Maybe our luck is turning. 2 bitcoin and 8 namecoin blocks being confirmed right now.

Nice, back in business. I was frustrated and tried out an other pool. What a joke... 5% stales... here i have 15577 shares and 8 stales at the moment. Never again.
Welcome back 
We do have some serious bad luck lately, though. To make sure we break the hex, we need all miners to follow these instructions: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ol2DedEhOGI

Steamy and Ronaghan discovered a new cheat: double blocks!
Or it could be the more correct explanation given by DeathAndTaxes. By the way Steamy's proof of work also produced 2 blocks, 64 and 65.
By my count we now have 59 bitcoin blocks. So 1 more with +5% promotion pay. Get some proofs of work in before it is built!

Ah I see. I was confused by the different block times but makes sense now. I'll edit my post to not confuse other people.

We just ended another loooooong round.
Cheers, and many thanks to Steamy.

What about Ronaghan... and.. was that like the same hash given to namecoin a winner ? weird..
Each hash is checked against both Bitcoin and NameCoin target.
As bitcoin target is higher than namecoin all bitcoin solutions should also be namecoin solutions.
On edit: Steamy also produced a NMC block & BTC block from same POW.

Guys, we all might be stuck with our current sig images, attempting to change will mean you have no image

Bah... I was just about ready to start work on the dynamic signature banners. Wonder if there's any point now. And I love the way these banners look.
Well, maybe they will allow banners with size restrictions, like suggested in that thread.While Im at it, perhaps email notification for new found (BTC) block would be nice. Or automated twitter feed or something. I keep clicking that page to see if we finally found one 
Hmm. Or an IRC bot announcing such things. Or maybe a webpage with dynamic news updates. Need to think about this.

I could also change the block list so you can filter to show only BTC or only NMC, if that is useful?
I think it would be. Or make two colums, one for BTC one for NMC so its easy to see. While Im at it, perhaps email notification for new found (BTC) block would be nice. Or automated twitter feed or something. I keep clicking that page to see if we finally found one

My bad then I guess I was confused by looking at found blocks + current round stats in live stat view = 4.4 million shares but maybe there is some overlap. Likely stats need to be separated to show current BTC block, current NMC block as well as a list of BTC blocks and a list of NMC blocks.
Yep, if a proof of work is accepted for both chains, then it is counted for both. I intend to change the live stats so you can see how both BTC and NMC rounds are going.

I have the suspicion that something is still not right w/ merged mining.
Since MM began we have mined 4.4 million shares and found 0 BTC and 3 NMC blocks. That is significantly below the avg and likely far below what can be explained by variance.
Since MM began we have mined 4.4 million shares and found 0 BTC and 3 NMC blocks. That is significantly below the avg and likely far below what can be explained by variance.
Since MM began we have 2245207 accepted proofs of work on NMC side and 116414 rejected. A little over 5% stale, because of the way some miners work, as mentioned earlier.
On NMC side w/ 200K difficulty we would expect to find on average 22 blocks and we have found 3.
We found 4, but without the bug it would have been more.
I'm currently babysitting the server, constantly watching for any problems in case there is another bug left in the merged mining code. Nothing wrong so far since the bugfix, only bad luck.

How the current NMC and BTC rounds look at the moment I am posting this:
Future updates for the website will show these numbers there.
Code:
coin | accepted | rejected
------+----------+----------
NMC | 255153 | 14332
BTC | 2413059 | 4714
