Contact with Namecoin miners

[domob]

I would like to build contacts with Namecoin miners. This will be useful in the future both to answer some questions about mining-related features I might have (since I'm not a miner) and also for possible future forks.

So if you are mining Namecoin and willing to get in touch with me, please reply either to the thread or send me a PM.

You may also want to have a look at the mining pool distribution. The latest 1000 Namecoin blocks (402488 to 403487) as follows:

Code: Select all

224 BTC.COM
189 BTC.TOP
186 ViaBTC
158 slush
122 F2Pool
 46 AntPool
 29 Bixin
 27 BTPOOL
 11 huobi
  2 BTCC
  2 Waterhole BCH
  2 zpool.ca
  1 EoBot
  1 unknown

In addition to this there are a few smaller pools that show up every few thousand blocks, e.g. bitminter, bitclub, gbminers.

Thanks, that is very helpful! I can try to look for contacts with the top pools directly then.

I haven't authenticated this, but it looks like BTC.TOP's CEO can be reached via Twitter at https://mobile.twitter.com/jiangzhuoer .

Slush can apparently be contacted via the web form at https://slushpool.com/help/contact-us/feedback .

F2Pool's website is supposedly https://www.f2pool.com/ , but the website is currently timing out for me.
