you have to have the namecoin miner running with your cgminer or other software for it to register namecoins for you. been running it for a little over 3 weeks and have 0.00407408 namecoins

False. Your namecoin miner does nothing in slush's pool. I've been mining for about the same amount of time and I have .5 NMC. Current NMC round is 1 day, 19:07:35. Like I said, it's getwork only and using stratum means you are not participating in the mining of a NMC block. And paying the 10% fee to use getwork is more loss than you will ever gain via namecoin.

ok then I must be hallucinating and the bitcoins that are registered in my name aren't real. currently mining with stratum not get work. very currious. sooo you saying that i'm lying is ok but it hasn't been that long maybe gremlins are eating your namecoins. last namecoin round ended last night again for your reading pleasure you will see the data from the stats page.

If you are mining on stratum, then your miner specifically will not be contributing to a namecoin block. Since the pool is almost entirely moved over to stratum, namecoins are generated very infrequently. However, anyone with a namecoin address associated with their account will get paid namecoins based on their score in the next bitcoin block that is found. When namecoins are mined by a getwork user, the payout is distributed by bitcoin round score to all miners with a namecoin address, not just those on getwork. Hope that was clearer.

makes sense, so what do you do with the darned things anyways and can you sell partial coins like you can bit, maybe keep some getworks running just to get the namecoin's
