If windows, use the last version (updated yesterday) and :

... but you need the 'right' build for it get immature blocks.

use the latest binaries. it should show something like this:
    {
        "account" : "",
        "category" : "immature",
        "amount" : 50.00000000,
        "confirmations" : 13,
        "txid" : "ad4a4d398bfafa8378636d146fda685ce50fbd6710c7d30af2820c5cd93e8864",
        "time" : 1306196513
    }

Do you have to use "-server" switch to get namecoind to accept work from GPUs and mine NCs?

I setup the rpc details and my GPU started generating mhashes... but, how do I know if namecoind is actually working on solving blocks? If I run "namecoind.exe getinfo" I see "hashespersec : 0". My GPU is doing work though?

also, if a block is found.. do I need to wait 120 blocks? how do I know if I found a block?

Thanks.

for listtractions I get -

error: {"code";-32601,"message":"Method not found"}

I am using the Windows exe.

Do I need to list the account?

Not listtractions, but listtransactions

I mined with ~500mhash for 12hours and do not seem to have found anything. I tried the testnet flag to check the setup but it does not connect:

C:\phoenix>c:\phoenix\phoenix.exe -u http://xxxx:yyyy@127.0.0.1:8336 -
k poclbm DEVICE=2 -v -q 3 -a 256 VECTORS BFI_INT AGGRESSION=10

MSG: Bitcoin is not connected!
[25/05/2011 22:37:01] Failed to connect, retrying...

the miners seem to work fine with normal use. I assume there is no testnet for namecoin yet, correct? (could not find this info).



-----------edit------------
I forgot they have to mature. using "namecoind.exe listtransactions" to find out how many I got...  sweet I got a couple of blocks. I imagine this is a little bit similiar to when it all started, very nice.

After the


the name stays reserved for 12,000 blocks (i think) at which point you can do a

We need to get the exact details extracted out of the forums, made explicit, and put up on the wiki ... bear with us.

Edit: it is in the OP ... start there at least.
"Names expire after 12000 blocks unless renewed with an update"

When you reserve a name, other people don't know the domain name you reserved. This avoids another person to name_new the same domain as you 1 second after you.


12'000 blocks too, after that, your name_new has expired. Other people can also do name_new. The first one to do the name_firstupdate gets the domain.
