Namecoin testnet?

Post by moa »

Is there anything like a namecoin testnet running? I highly suspect not.

Can we run the namecoind on the bitcoin testnet? (Suspect not also.)

It already exists.

You can bootstrap with my node :
./namecoind -testnet -addnode 178.32.31.41

You will see only one or two others nodes :p

Thanks Khal. I'll give that a run.

I'm asking because I have had an almost unbelievably bad run of luck on the namecoin mining, yet everything appears to working as normal. How many standard devs of not finding a block would you consider that it is likely there is a problem? 5 times, 6 times average block solve?

Edit: I'm gonna post you answer over in "Tools"also if that is okay.

I had the same problem and then switched to the pool. I think i was at about 2 times the avg. But it was at time there was no immature listing, so, maybe i had generated some blocks that have been deleted since :S
Most disturbing thing was to see "proof of work - found : result false".
