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.

When I did the math the other day, I think Namecoin merge mining with my 180GH miner on my Un node is about 2 years average time to find a namecoin block. I'd need to be more around 10 TH to get blocks on a regular enough basis to consider that a legitimate source of income to pay for the pool overhead.

It'd be nice if there was a namecoin p2pool network, and p2pool could merge mine off of that extra p2pool network somehow.
