solo mining on namecoin is a real problem, not only because of the recently exploded difficulty, but because of the concentration of mining power. I was solo mining before the increase, and I had a found block orphaned for almost a whole day (I didn't even realize I had solved one more until I checked tonight and saw a higher balance than before). The pools seem to be set to deliberately be uninterested in blocks not found by them, and they're a supermajority on the small system.
I suppose if you have an extra card to chunk and want to play lottery it's not such a bad idea, might get lucky, who knows?

Lol, playing the lottery... what can I say?
Currently solo mining with 170MH/s. We'll see how it goes.
lol - feeling really lucky eh?

At the current difficulty that 1 block every 256 days. With the current difficulty trend i'd say 50% to find 1 block within 3 years.

Good lucky getting any at that rate, as difficulty has just exploded.

Where can one see the current mining rate?
will be interesting to watch the difficulty plummet the next adjustment. Maybe it will give pool operators time to get their (#*( together.
Party's over Bitcoiners! The great NameCoin arbitrage hole has snapped shut. [a great shuffling of feet back to bitcoin]
2 blocks in 1 day in the pool on 330mh/s 
Thats it, now bitcoin mining is more profitable than namecoin mining (assuming an exchange rate of 0.06)... Lucky i was able to generate 4 more namecoin blocks since yesterday evening with my 2,5 Ghashes. Big Luck.
And now: All stop mining Namecoins and go back to BTC, it is more profitable.

Namecoin mining difficulty increase to go up by 253% today at 16:17 UTC
I have approximately ~10% stales mining for the http://bitparking.com pool. Have found 2 blocks since yesterday.
I also have some connection problems and I do not know what is the reason for them.
Miners do have some sudden disconnections from the pool. Not all at once. Any of them is suddenly disconnected and then it tries reconnecting and is back online. This can be repeated many many times. Sometimes it happens too often.
I configured GUIminer to mine Namecoins with Phoenix+Phatk.
Can you help me guys make my miners more stable (less disconnections) and effective (less stales)?
