"The top right corner has a slide switch that enables showing rewards for all Namecoin blocks interleaved with Bitcoin blocks. Statistics which we provide for Namecoin blocks is pretty much the same as for Bitcoin except values in the "Block Value” column. Let us explain."

from just now

They're not worth much, 0.00018300 BTC ATM, which is auto converted and paid in BTC and that one is worth ~0.0045 divided by the pool in the normal way etc.

Slush you get paid the fee's compaired with antpool. That's ~16ish per block not 12.5 and we had a 22+ block a little while back! It's pretty decent from what i've seen so far (~2 months)




Ya ik they arent worth a ton or ne thing like that. I did try finding the slide switch they mention but the only options i see are btc and zec and no nmc. I can view the rewards for nmc but that page doesnt look like its even updating so the reward info for nmc blocks is blank and provides 0 info so im assuming if the system isnt updating the block/reward info it is also not paying out for namecoins mined either.

Namecoins are something that i like holdin on to which is y i mined at antpool. If antpool had a system like slush that sold off the namecoins or gave the value of them at that moment to the miners i would have gotten a handful of pennies per coin. Each namecoin is now worth close to $4 based on the coin ticker app i use so thats a big difference in price. Also since they arent worth a ton its not like holding them cost me tens of thousands of dollars like bitcoin does which is why i held them. Low investment costs (next to nothing since they r dual mined) + multi fold increase in price = enough to make me ask antpool and slush where my namecoins r and why blocks arent being updated on the site. Antpool has given me the run around for months now and owes me some coins still. I have only been on slush for a week or so and dont want to get stuck in the same kinda situation. They dont have a support ticket system as far as i can see which bothers me. Maybe im just missing it?? If there truely isnt one how do people contact him for help with issues?? Hes makin bank im sure but what is somethin goes wrong??

Another thing im confused about is the payout times. I thought bitcoin blocks were confirmed after 6 confirmations. Slush uses 100 confirmations which is quite a bit more. Im not sayin its wrong but im not used to that long of a wait to get my payouts....
