Guys, sorry to ask, but I can't seem to be able to set up namecoin merged mining with slush's pool for the life of me. I am a miner of many types of coins, but nmc doesn't seem to be activated for some reason.

This is what I did:

I have set the namecoin address to my BTC-e nmc deposit address, I have downloaded namecoind, i made the bitcoin.conf file (user and password can be anything right? i mean anything that is not slush's login and password for a worker...), everything in it is as it should be, NO server=1 so no solo mining.

It launches, the cursor blinks, but i don't get any shares. And btw, how do I set namecoinD to handle the btc-e address? I have a feeling somehow I should let the exe know that that is my address where it should accumulate NMC...

Any help please?

(Using stratum, 7 workers, i guess I should setup namecoind for ALL the workers ((every worker is a machine with 3 cards)), but I have yet to succeed in one's setup, that's why I ask for help...)

You are automatically participating in merged mining here at slush's pool just by entering a valid Namecoin Adress. No need to setup your namecoind-client.

It takes some time for slush's Server to nmc-enable your account which you'll see on stats page. There will be an additional column (Your NMC reward).

Then you just can sit back and watch NMCs getting mined which will take up to several days for each block as you can see here (https://mining.bitcoin.cz/stats/nmc/)

Good luck and happy mining

Ouch. I would not sacrifice stratum for getwork, so I can have NMC as well I suppose...
