Solo Mining with GUIMiner

Hi there,

I tried to set up 2 computers to solo-mine namecoins with guiminer.

my config file looks like this:

rpcuser=nmc-userrname
rpcpassword=nmc-password
rpcport=8332
rpcallowip=192.168.1.*
daemon=1
server=1

In the GUIMiner I set the Bitcoin client path to the namecoind.exe

Server: solo
Host: localhost / IP of the computer running namecoind -server
Username: nmc-username
Device: GPU
Password: nmc-password

I hope these settings are correct.

When I start mining, the GUIMiner shows the current Mhash/s rate and it seems to work, but on the right I see

Difficulty: 1 hashes: 41 last at ....

Why doesnt it show the correct difficulty? (I am running namecoind -server not testnet)

And is there any proof it's actually working, but the "listtransactions" command when I generated a block?

This is normal. Guiminer shows the difficulty 1 shares for solo miners so they can see some form of progress.

Ok, so I can be sure the mining is working correctly with these settings?
