Re: [ALPHA.masterpool.eu] Merged Mining Test Server - TESTNE
I just deployed RC5 on alpha. Furthermore I deployed latest MasterPool Frontend. In the dashboard you can now find the new Scheduled Payout feature. This feature (if enabled and given you provided an address for each blockchain) will do automatic payouts every hour. Thus you can fire and forget your miners and test payouts (and thus transactions on merged mining blockchain) very easily. All payouts should work now (though they are not guaranteed) if you have at least a RC5 namecoind.

How close are you to deploying merged mining?

It is deployed on ALPHA... But if you want to know when it is deployed on non-testnet, then unfortunately we are still waiting for block 24k. But I guess chances are good to start earlier if most users agree.

Re: [ALPHA.masterpool.eu] Merged Mining Test Server - TESTNE
since NMC block is currently at 18588 , how do we know if people generally agree we should say start at 20K?

How can I verify which side of that split I'm mining on?doublec wrote:it splits the block chain on that block number. So anyone with old clients, and mining with old clients, will be on the old chain from that number. Any new coins they generate will not be valid on the new network. People on the new network will not be able to send coins to people on the old network and vice versa.

If you use an old client not capable of doing merged minings you'll see a eroor message that you should upgrade. Try:Delia wrote:How can I verify which side of that split I'm mining on?

I don't see an explicit error message, but it also looks like I've mined most of the blocks in the last day or two on my 800Khps CPU.nodemaster wrote:If you use an old client not capable of doing merged minings you'll see a eroor message that you should upgrade.

Re: [ALPHA.masterpool.eu] Merged Mining Test Server - TESTNE
Seems you are at the new blockchain. We splitted at block 13722. You have no error message. Thus it seems okay. ATM there is nobody mining on alpha.masterpool.eu. For that reason its not unusual that you are the only one on testnet. I guess most testing has been done by masterpool users We tested RC5 and it seems okay, but there is an issue that needs discussion, starting here: http://dot-bit.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1617#p1617 so we are on stand by. Unfortunately people are moving away from testing as they doesn't see any progress with merged mining. Thus if you want to join you are more than welcome.Delia wrote: I don't see an explicit error message, but it also looks like I've mined most of the blocks in the last day or two on my 800Khps CPU.

if you need, I can join testnet about tomorrow. do you need something powerful, like 1 GHs, or one GPU (300MHs) is enough for you?nodemaster wrote:Delia wrote:Unfortunately people are moving away from testing as they doesn't see any progress with merged mining.
