I have version nc0.3.24.54-rc4 up. This version fixes an exploitable bug where the same work can be used to submit multiple auxiliary blocks, by adding multiple auxiliary trees to the parent coinbase. This version only allows one auxiliary chain tree. Someone should ask luke-jr if this is the bug h...

Thanks to s3harvey who donated more than 3Ghash/s on testnet we have more than 120 blocks generated on merged mining testnet. This blockchain is now nearly 130 blocks ahead the vanilla testnet blockchain. We now have a couple of freshly minted merged mining testnet coins. If you want some for testi...

To be honest I'm very interested in getting merged mining to work ASAP. But on the other hand I'm asking myself if there is anybody out there who has a working configuration which is testable with RC2.

My concern with this is it not being enough time to get people to update the client. Ideally we'd have it set t...

Can this version be run on the current BTC and NMC networks? Or are we still testing? You should be able to run the mergedmine branch on the bitcoin network and the master branch on the namecoin network right now. In fact, that would be very helpful for testing. You won't be able to successfully su...

Is there a detailed report anywhere? The report is basically, checkout the current git master. Build and run it with a clear datadir. It doesn't download any blocks or make any connections. I haven't tested your latest changes. Thank you, I found the issue. A new version tagged nc0.3.24.53-rc2 is u...

I have a new version up which allows more than one auxiliary chain to be mined. This version also includes a fix for aux proof-of-work validation. Has this been merged into master already? Is it checking for block 24,000? People have been complaining about git master rejecting blocks. This was merge...

Ok so the "patched version" of bitcoin is called "mergedmine" then? And in effect, bitcoin is patched or "different than default settings" but still treats the bitcoin blockchain and bitcoin side of things the exact same way as before? The only difference is... (PLEASE FILL IN THIS BLANK?!) The onl...
