Namecoin Forum

It may be a bit unnecessary, because the difficulty isn't very high, but it's great for CPU miners :p

I have a pool running here: http://bitparking.com/pool

It's currently operating at about 1.5 GHash/s.

I haven't had any luck with the bitparking pool. I'm using jgarzik's cpu miner, and even after running it for 24 hours or so, I didn't get a single share.

Even back when I was mining bitcoins on deepbit (not anymore!), I would still get shares every once in awhile. Admittedly, I was also using the ufasoft miner which is considerably faster.

Anyone else start a namecoin pool yet?

Contact doublec on irc, something should be wrong with you...

Please post the exact command line you are using to run the miner. What namecoin address are you using? Plenty of people are using jgarzik's miner successfully.

Sure thing:
minerd --userpass N4hjEuGx4FVtJpcqHrF83AnAbzC9JvySjp:anything --url http://bitparking.com:9098

It was running for about 12 hours.
