NMC Merged Mining · 0% Fee
Mine BTC. Get NMC
for free.
Namecoin uses the same SHA-256 algorithm as Bitcoin. Our pool embeds the Namecoin hash into every BTC share automatically — your hardware works once, earns twice. No extra power, no extra setup, 0% NMC fee.

Payout timing: Namecoin requires 500 block confirmations (~3 days) before coinbase rewards can be spent. NMC is sent to your address automatically once the block matures.
How It Works
One miner, two chains.
AuxPoW (Auxiliary Proof-of-Work) lets Bitcoin miners simultaneously mine Namecoin with zero extra computation.
01
You mine BTC
Your miner connects to btc.solopool.eu and submits shares as normal.
02
Pool checks both
Every share is simultaneously checked against BTC and NMC network difficulty targets.
03
NMC block found
Any share meeting NMC difficulty is submitted as a valid Namecoin AuxPoW block.
04
NMC paid out
~25.000 NMC sent to your N... address after 500 confirmations (~3 days).
Setup Guide
Add NMC in two steps.
If you're already mining BTC on this pool, just update your username. Done.
Step 1 — Get a NMC address
1
Download Namecoin Core or Electrum-NMC from namecoin.info
2
Create a new wallet and copy your receiving address. It starts with N — for example: NJctztfiXxn7r7zhL...
3
Keep the wallet running occasionally to check your balance after blocks mature.
Step 2 — Update your username
1
Open your miner's settings and find the Pool / Stratum username field.
2
Change username from:
bc1qYourBtcAddress.worker1
to:bc1qYourBtcAddress.worker1.NJctzYourNmcAddress
3
Save and reboot. The pool reads the NMC address from the third segment automatically — nothing else to configure.
FAQ
Common questions.
No. Point your miner at btc.solopool.eu as normal. The pool embeds the Namecoin hash into every BTC share automatically — no extra work from your hardware.
Include your NMC address in the username field using this format: btcAddress.workerName.NmcAddress — for example: bc1qxxx.bitaxe1.NJctztfiXxn7r7zhL. The pool reads it and routes NMC rewards to that address.
Standard Namecoin addresses start with N (e.g. NJctztfiXxn7r7zhL...). Get one from Namecoin Core or Electrum-NMC.
Namecoin requires 500 block confirmations (~3 days) before a coinbase reward can be spent. Your NMC will be sent automatically once the block matures.
Higher than BTC — NMC difficulty is lower. Your BTC shares are checked against both targets simultaneously, so any share that meets the NMC difficulty threshold counts as an NMC block find.
Zero. NMC is merged mined for free — it's a bonus on top of your BTC mining. The 1% fee only applies to BTC block rewards.
