I'm wondering if combined mining is actually a waste of computational effort -

Bitminter has 11.5TH and got 17 BTC blocks today so far + 79 NMC blocks
Slush got just 9.7TH but got 25 BTC blocks today so far + 1 NMC block

So, if that's the case - I'd rather have BTC than MNC.

we can have both, nmc wont take anything at all away from btc. It just needs to be set up.

I don't think that's the case, Slush created the stratum protocol and has said merged mining doesn't work (yet or at all I'm not sure).

That's not true. Both BitMinter and Bitparking offer merged mining over the stratum protocol.

I created an account and jumped through all the hoops to be able to post here, just so I could say thanks Slush, you're doing an amazing job and this is the BEST POOL EVER.

I'm not against Namecoin, I just see the project dead, there's no development in last year, documentation is non-existing, merged mining patches obsolete (most recent official toolchain is for bitcoin 0.3.24!).

In these days I'm migrating pool to new servers and I'll drop old pool core completely (I won't install it to new servers at all), so NMC will be completely disabled in few days. But if everything will run smoothly, I'll dig into merged mining and if there won't be any real issue, I'll try to set up NMC mining again.

If that over six months ago and it has not happened yet even with some people asking then I doubt it will happen. But I guess that is up to slush.

And he add it. On getwork...

Use a pool that supports merged mining or start your own pool, instead of spending that time whining like a child who has not got their own way maybe?

I'm thinking about it but I would like to stay with Slush so that why I'm asking and I can see that I'm not the only one.

Stratum is not limited in terms of merged mining. It's a matter of adding merged mining to the pool software. Both Slush and BTC Guild have elected to stop supporting NMC with Stratum due to complete lack of development. NMC is based on bitcoin 0.3 code, has had NO active development in over a year. It is a failed experiment only being kept alive by people taking advantage of others with pump & dumps.

I know... As you have my backup pool I need to use getwork because of that. And so what. As long as it has value I don't even care why... Unless you are saying this is not for making money but experiment in bettering humanely... If this is the case you can give me all extra BTC that you don't need for running the pool.

yet, extra income is extra income. it only takes time to set up, once. We dont have to wave a flag for nmc to make a profit from it.

It was yet and It works on some other pools. So it works now...
