compiled it and just syncing now, but I see that gbt isn't active so I don't think I'll be able to mine it.
I know there has been conversation about this before, but I've not been able to find out if merge mining NMC has been fixed or if it actually works anymore. I've scanned the NMC forum but can't find any definate answer, so can only presume that if HUCcore is based on NMCcore then merge mining will also be broken with HUC also? That sucks if I'm correct.
As far as I know, merge-mining with neither NMC nor the new HUC client is "broken". GBT is disabled at the moment since it caused difficulties with a planned change in NMC and seems pointless for merge-mining, but apparently people are still using it for controlling their mining. See discussion in
https://github.com/namecoin/namecoin-core/issues/98. It will probably be re-enabled "soon" and then become available also in HUC.
ok. ahh I see... I guess I did use a fork of the nmc-core that put gbt back in....

Now as far as waiting on conformation time for mined hucs, ~ 120 block is it?: to wait ~ 2 hours to use them again??
