You are welcome. One thing to note though, the max os x build is actually 32 bits, and should be runable on both 32 and 64 bit systems.

Glad I found this link, the .7z on the front page appears to be corrupt, but this link works :)

Thanks for reporting the bug. I've corrected the file on the front page.

I have a new release here: https://github.com/vinced/namecoin/tree/nc0.3.24.63

This version corrects the timetravel (2015-2016 retarget) bug starting at the first retarget after block 19200. This version will fork testnet at block 4032 (second retarget).

I believe we are safe from timetravel with this fix going forward and our history is safe the recent lockins, which are 2016 blocks apart.

Please test.

Windows build @ http://www.wuala.com/jbw9/pub/Bitcoin/n ... -win32.7z/

If anyone wants a mac build let me know, otherwise I am going to wait a bit to see if this version gets out of testing without changes first.

Hi
We are using old version of namecoind in our pool atm. I understand that I must update it to the newest one before block 19200. My question is will new version work without any additional setup or changes to the pool?
i.e Is it possible to run it without merged mining enabled/supported for the time being ?
