17:56:19 sech1, Network hashrate is now about 13 MH/s. What nethash is required to be added to the XMRIG? 19:08:01 can you merge mine with monero? 19:59:25 In general ? Yes. Townforge can now (testnet TF, mainnet monero). AFAIK Tari will also do. 20:00:10 Maybe once they launch mainnet, other coins will start merge mining too... One can hope... 20:00:50 Monero has helper functions already to try to make it easier for monero forks to merge mine. 20:01:10 Or forking TF instead I guess. The game is optional after all. 20:01:48 In theory, any coin could merge mine with monero, even a Bitcoin fork. And Tari's a fresh codebase AFAIK. 20:01:56 So there's really no reason not to ^_^ 20:02:46 thanks for the info! 20:04:22 Also, sech1 is fixing merge mining in p2pool, so you will be able to merge mine any number of chains with p2pool after next monero fork (hopefully). 20:05:00 And I mean several chains at once. Like TF + tari + whatever else might pop up later. 20:07:19 it almost sounds too good to be true. being able to hash on all these chains at once is a big financial incentive for miners also. monero gets more hashes in in the end 20:10:23 Well, it does require the miner to maintain a running copy of all the mined chains. But the verifiers do not need to. 20:17:05 Just discounts xmr price, look at ltc/doge 20:44:00 I'm a big fan of XMR remaining just XMR - but obviously I'm just one vote out of millions of votes :P Although p2pool - I'd like to see that expanded as much as possible 20:52:47 Monero remains monero. It just has an extra hash in the coinbase tx extra field. Which verifiers don't have to care about. 20:53:28 Wait. Do they or don't they have to care about it... I forget... I don't think they do... 20:54:06 Don't have to. It's just a hash, so they can't check anything about it anyway.
