Topic: Bitparking Namecoin Mining Pool [30 GHash/s] - page 3. (Read 20588 times)
Someone's helping test my pool software scalability. The namecoin pool temporarily at 11 Ghash/s.
Someone explain what a namecoin is, how it is used, and why would we need them. A cursory glance at that wiki says they are used for DNS, but then you go and list DNS servers people can freely connect to? What am I missing here.
I made the about page for you : http://dot-bit.org/AboutDifficult to summarize things in some words :p
ps : you can ask additional info in this topic.
Hehe, been mining solo these last days, still quite feasible but I was kinda waiting for something like this. 
I wasn't able to get in early for generating Bitcoins, perhaps I can do it for the Namecoin, I've always been wanting to have my own addresses, too, anyway...

You are missing the page : what is namecoin, which still doesn't exist :p
I'll explain that after eating some food :p (or someone else can do it now too)

I restarted the pool a couple of times today to fix a memory leak and excessive CPU usage. The server is ticking along much nicer now.
It won't let me withdraw anything. I click withdraw and it just goes back to the homepage without sending anything (I checked my wallet, and it also continues to list the balance).
PM me your address and I'll try to track it down. I can send it manually too.

Those were happy times ... Actually 589 still isn't that bad either.

er no currently it is 589.64331461
Oops! Guess my client was a little out of date. It was 290 a few days ago Those were happy times ... Actually 589 still isn't that bad either.
Someone is mining in the pool with an address of N5gW....4z3 but they've got a spurious '.NameCoin' appended to it. Possibly they intended for this to be the password? This means you won't be able to withdraw your coins since the address is invalid. PM me when you've changed your address and I'll fix things up.
i'm providing with cpu, and getting nowhere :p only 3 shares put in.. and the site doesnt say i put any in.
It looks like there are problems using ufasoft's miner. I'm looking into it.Thanks to Nesetalis' help tracking this down, ufasoft should now work fine.

whats the namecoin difficulty looking like these days
It's currently 290. I solo mined on my old nVidia (50MH/s) and got 3 blocks overnight. i'm providing with cpu, and getting nowhere :p only 3 shares put in.. and the site doesnt say i put any in.

Seems to be running perfectly with 'minerd', hopefully my server's i7-920 will be able to net me some of these namecoins before the difficulty spikes ;p.

whats the namecoin difficulty looking like these days... still feasable to contribute to a pool or solo mine with a cpu? or has it progressed to gpu time already?
sweet 
i'm in.
i'm in. Im still not sure how to get my own Namecoin address?

Take a look here:SW-
http://dot-bit.org/InstallAndConfigureNamecoin
I tried running "namecoind getnewaddress"
And im still getting "error: couldn't connect to server"
SW-
First start namecoind, then open another terminal windows and run
Code:
namecoind listreceivedbyaddress 0 true
You should see something like this if you are on windows:
Code:
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\namecoin_win32>namecoind listrec
eivedbyaddress 0 true
[
{
"address" : "N9AsWmgxkhQtRLeoTsjVYxPcm3GyGFSh5T",
"account" : "",
"label" : "",
"amount" : 1.77000000,
"confirmations" : 1
},
]
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\namecoin_win32>
