Time & resources better spent making Bitminter the best Bitcoin pool.
True, adding new coins takes some effort. It's all about making the right priorities.
Alternative *coins are basically worthless and I don't think anyone actually gives a rat's ass about them.
Well, yeah, after all that hard work to implement merged mining, it turns out most miners don't care at all about namecoins. And some miners are just confused by them. They wonder what they should do with them, or how to put them in their bitcoin wallet.
So I think I'll put this off for now. After putting in a lot of work changing the system so it can handle more than just bitcoins, it would be cool to make more use of those possibilities. But at the moment I'm not sure it makes sense.
Time for a BitMinter rise to power?
Yeah, let's do this!
