Instead I'm working on direct payout. This means the pool will pay for a block right after it found him. Thus as a user you don't have to deal with confirmation stuff. We find a block, you get your NMCs! Should be that easy. This is what I do in my pool as well. You just need to make sure you have ...

Hi, yesterday I send 22.45NC from the account N4Hjo4PUbd1usrrVCybW3Wh2aWEf5YVDqV to the account N7H45p75UqXShQ4b6bVmnLf5D4EeVwqiyj and do not appear in my balance in exchange.bitparking.com.

I'm curious why you'd want to point your namecoin domain name to the existing DNS? Why not code the IP address into the namecoin domain value? This way you're protected from someone manipulating the DNS entry.

I just saw this commit in the repository: https://github.com/vinced/namecoin/commit/e28d4fdcec5bed36b74bfb928676c65194c8b27f * Effective at block 24000, names registered at block 12000 onward will expire after 36000 blocks instead of the current valud of 12000 * Also effective at block 24000, the de...
