At Eclipse, you have the option of turning off your Merged Mining if you want. https://eclipsemc.com

If a miner at your pool opts out of merged mining and they submit a share which would generate a Namecoin block is the winning hash not broadcast? I couldn't find anything on the "Pool Disccusion" page about it.

I may have misunderstood how it works then. I thought that merged mining meant the miners work on both BTC and NMC.

I want my miners to work solely on BTC.

You don't take some of your compute power away from BTC and into NMC. With the same computation you solve both BTC and NMC blocks. That's why it's called "merged mining". You get the same BTC and bonus NMC, which is why everyone is excited about it.

For a technical explanation of how it works you can read this stackexchange answer.

Why?

With BTC only mining if you get X BTC then w/ merged mining you get the same X BTC PLUS some NMC. Even if you threw away the NMC you wouldn't earn any less than a BTC only pool.

It would be like if your boss paid you 10 BTC and 50 NMC per hour. You don't like NMC so you quit and work for a company which pays you 10 BTC per hour. How exactly did you come out ahead?

I know Deepbit and Arsbitcoin do not currently offer merged mining. Is there any reason you're looking for a pool that doesn't? Merged mining doesn't take any of your bitcoins away, it just provides NMC as a bonus. I know I certainly turned a lot of people away towards pools that offered it when BTC Guild did not.
