Why are all of the latest namecoin blocks stale?

New blocks are showing as stale, I'll get this changed to "processing" or something like that soon.

Why are they like that for more than some seconds? Because while the mining server has a lighter load than usual, the payment processing system is lagging badly. I'll improve this soon.

Apologies for the confusion it causes to show so many "stale" blocks, especially with all the fast blocks we had today it looked crazy.

So that's why it shows stale even when it's not stale.

Kindly request we stop talking about mining pools and altcoin mining. Friedcat has been around in btc/cryptocurrency land long enough, I trust his judgement when it comes to finding the right operational choices. e.g. - Solo vs pool, which pool, etc. And this horse has been beaten into the ground.

One note about merged mining. If ASICMINER did work on altcoins, they would instantly own over 50% of hashing power in said coin. This is unhealthy for said coin, and based on Friedcat's past comments, he is looking out for long term health of cryptocurrencies, and wouldn't do such a thing. (And besides, he's instantly make all other miners of the merged altcoin unprofitable.)
