NMC is not going to MtGox.

there's an API response but nothing more...Mtgox has never actually named NMC as a target.  The only altcoin they specifically called out was LTC.

Does anyone have any updated info on this?  I can only find news from April/May so I'm assuming gox won't be adding it at all unless I hear otherwise..

Well, if I must speculate, I'd guess it's because Namecoin is one of the oldest alt-coins and though it hasn't been super-successful, it also hasn't out-right disappeared. It's the little alt-currency that doesn't grow in popularity but it also doesn't go away, possibly because it's a merge-mined coin.  I imagine a lot of gox users would love to have this option.

To gox, what does it matter?  NMC might not be worth much but as an exchange, they are interested in volume and fees.  

I would personally consider its integration a wise move, even if the coin is mostly useless.
A Couple of good points there; but there's got to be more more to it. Mt.Gox could had easily chosen NVC over NMC if they only cared about volume and fees.
I think (hope) some big announcements are coming from NMC developers...

Why is NMC going to be added to Mt.Gox? Developers activity seems dead, can somebody share some light? Huh

NMC won't be added to Gox anytime soon. Nice attempt to spread rumours, now go back to trollbox on BTC-e and wait for fontas further instructions.

Is on their API and confirmed by Mark Karpeles himself; Apparently you are the only one that doesn't know....

MtGox did it to do the pool operators a favour Wink
Pool operators have to sell all those useless NMC that they made from merged mining somewhere ...

They are working on NMC atm, it's not dead  Smiley

Where did you get that info from? Can you please post a link?

If you read my initial post, I stated that NMC development SEEMS dead.
That's why I'm here asking, because I can't find any activity on NMC anywhere.
