Doesn't anyone think that slushs "testing" implementation is also cheating?

lol, why do you think I'm "cheating"?

Even if thier miner get payed afterwards, nobody will notice if a fraction of the nmc not get payed out, and most importantly he is stealing from the official merged mining pools by increasing the overall hashrate.

Well, my pool is also "official merged mining pool", I just didn't finished GUI&other stuff. Don't forget that I have already big load on pool, so releasing such bleeding edge software is much harder than for 20GHash pools...

So the way I put it: Slush gtfo of our merge Angry

Of course I can cheat! Any pool operator can cheat. I can not publish some merged mined blocks for namecoin and nobody will notice, as any other merged mining pool can do. So why do you have problem with me? I think that I already prove that I'm not a scammer, by running pool for longer time ever.

Yeah, The same could be said for normal BTC mining, pool operators could keep every 10th block found for themselves and no one would ever know. It all comes down to being able to trust the operator.
