It is just not submitted to the Namecoind in the first place, so there's no test as to whether or not it's a valid share. It's kind of a pointless feature IMHO, but I had a couple people ask for it. Maybe some people just hate Namecoin?

At Eclipse, you have the option of turning off your Merged Mining if you want. https://eclipsemc.com

I think that, if somebody turn off merged mining, the pool can turn it on for itself.
So, for every user with NMC off, the pool will in fact, not disable the merged mining and stay with that namecoins.

I guess you didnt read down a little before you posted? or are you making very strong unsubstantiated accusations?

and at the end of the day if it is making NO difference to BTC earnings and the MINER choses not to want nmc on a MM pool what is so bad about them remaining in the pool wallet. seems too many miners expect pools to be charities....

http://eligius.st/wiki/index.php/FAQ has an interestring slant on it - register for nmc or the pool keeps them

of course the simple way to avoid these issues is mine on a non-MM pool (oh hang on i remember they secretly mine NMC but keep them all)- well according to some that post in these forums...

so much crap in these forums, i would have expected better from someone tagged as "staff"

I don't think ThiagoCMC was making any accusations, rather an optimization suggestion. He said that Eclipse can, instead of not doing MM for opt-outers as is the current policy, do MM and keep the NMC either for the operator or for the other miners.

Personally I think it is reasonable to expect that if you disable MM then your shares will not be used for MM at all.

Workers are not to control production in a capitalist system like a pool in business. The market, or worker, will choose a pool that offers the best value. The minute you introduce communism into your business, you will become inefficient and thus provide less value to the workers. Wasting productive power due to an irrational argument from a profit side is inefficient. No profit, no pool.

The intelligentsia often forget we are dealing with naturally instinctive people and not numbers...

So, I disagree with your opinion from a socio-economical perspective. Inaba's example is a good case in point.
