So I've had merged mining setup on my local node for the last month or so with IXCoin, Devcoin, and Namecoin, alongside BTC, and I do see the "Got new merged mining work!" message occasionally (all three during startup of the node)... previously was only set to mine Namecoin and BTC going back over 3 months merged. My local hashrate is about 700GH/s to 1200GH/s depending who joined my node and my personal miners.
I have received a whole lot of nothing in my merged mining wallets. I know merged mining is more like Solo mining with P2Pool, but with this somewhat middling hashpower I would have expected to have gotten something within this timeframe. So do I have something setup wrong or is the probability really that bad with around a 1TH of power? Even Namecoin has only the few bits I got from failover to BTCGuild and nothing from my merged p2pool node even after being active for over 3 months.
