DoubleC's pool benefited from supermajority induced orphaning during big pre-MM NMC boom when it was >>50%, and I had a great many orphans in my solo mining. This was on a 10 minute chain which is less subject to orphaning, and on a chain that was worth non-trivial money at the time. ::shrugs::
Please don't try to make it look like that situation was the same as the one here. I ran a stock standard pool that did nothing to change block propagation in any way. The situation here is a majority pool actively refusing other blocks and this is not the same.

It's great to know that we have good people like Luke watching out for us.
I'm still trying to figure out what happened to the 20-odd blocks I lost that all had numerous confirmations from the network, yet turned invalid....and still continue, as I am keeping my miners up.

You're getting orphaned. Standard bitcoin chain decision code won't switch off your own chain and onto something else unless the something else is _longer_, being tied isn't enough. If someone outpaces the reset of the network by enough of a factor it's unlikely anyone else will get any blocks in even without any modification to ignore third party blocks.

Jesus Christ. He bragged about killing it on purpose...in public, then SPAM'd the exchange (where he was banned). This had NOTHING to do with merged mining. It was malicious intent to kill off the new Alt.

so what actually happened, blocks were orphaned? Can't that happen with any block chain?
He mined a bunch of blocks drove the difficulty into the stratosphere and didn't process transactions, etc. In other words, behavior like some bitcoin miners— except in bitcoin they're not >>>>50% of the total hash power, etc.
You'll note the lack of links to the relevant thread (https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/dead-coiledcoin-yet-another-cryptocurrency-but-with-opeval-56675), presumably because the accusations sound much better without the factual information behind them, or the posts pointing out the extreme scammyness of a bitcoin-clone opening with exchange support on day 0, and the touting of unfinished pre-release features from the reference bitcoin client as major innovations.
I'm all for interesting altchains that serve real purposes, like namecoin— but so far the currency like ones mostly seem to be ponzi schemes which risk hurting bitcoin's credibility if they have any effect at all. At least we can learn from their security challenges even if we don't learn anything from their absent innovation.

Luke, How does your users at Eligius pool feel about you misusing their hash power to vandalize and steal from an alt chain?
how was it stealing? did he take coins from you?
Nope, but people have lost electricity/computer life and there was BTC trading taking place already. But that doesn't make it right that it wasn't me hurt directly.

Everyone that mines in this pool just gave up their hashing power unknowingly for luke to use to vandalize another person's project.
Due to the knot in luke's panties, he decided it was his god given right to miss use the pool's hashing power to bring down a new alt coin that was just introduced today.
Nice one luke ! Chalk one up for you and God.

Luke-JR my friend
the pool is running better today than it has in awhile (at least for me) did you change anything?
Usually with CGMINER - I get Pool Not responding with you all the time and a lot of mhash going to backup pool
not seeing that much today
anyways, its awesome - thank you

There is now a poll to determine what the new NMC payout threshold should be (or if it should remain the same).

Same here. Pool is down.

FWIW, Namecoin payouts are now automated. They will occur via sendmany at most once an hour, only under specific conditions (which are secret for now) to minimize risks of automated sendmany.

bitcoind walletpassphrase
This will give you 5 minutes.
thank you! it works!

I attempted to sign the message to register my namecoin address, my wallet is encrypted,
when I execute the the bitcoind command, it says:error: {"code":-13,"message":"Error: Please enter the wallet passphrase with walletpassphrase first."}
how to execute bitcoind with my passphrase?

WTF? I just logged in today to find I've been mining namecoins without my consent? I don't want namecoins. :/
What makes you think that? If you don't want Namecoins, don't register for them, and you won't get them. Simple.(I didn't really think I needed to answer this...)
