By the way, this morning we had a proof of work that could have created a namecoin block, but it was stale on the namecoin side. It's not good having 5% of proofs be stale on the NMC side. I'll get out an update for the BitMinter beta client soon (regular non-beta should be fine already). Does anyone know if a new cgminer has been released that works better with merged mining?
Still only fixed in git, afaics.
