I am mining in Slush's pool, and read that I can get "free" Namecoins if I can provide an address.
After doing some Googling, there are posts recommending registering an account on Crypto X Change, but the site has been closed down long ago.
The default Namecoin client doesn't seem to be very user friendly.
Can anyone advice me on the best way to get started with Namecoin?
From what I've read on his site there aren't many being made anymore and he is phasing them out. I think he said only 7% of the pool is still working in a way that generates namecoins.
