Title: Patching a coin for AUXPOW Post by: l8nit3 on July 17, 2015, 06:54:42 AM Hello all!
I have 2 questions here im hoping someone in the crypto community knows the answer to. I've been working quite hard on building a merged-minng, profit-switching, auto-exchanging, multi-pool lately (using unomp and combining a few guides online). I'm still fairly early in my build (after many full wipes and starting from scratch) but after some research ive come up with these 2 questions. 1)How does one go about patching a scrypt coin for auxpow as a secondary coin? is this possible by a pool owner for use on their pool (which i could then upload to github as a commit?) or does the dev have to implement the merged mining in the coin source? 2)does both the parent coin and secondary coin need to be patched? can i make multiple parents mine the same secondary aux coins? (due to my goal of profit-switching.. id like all my "switchable" coins to be merged mining. I was reading around and found this post https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=68248.0 however it only mentions sha256 patching, and doesn't source the patch files. I'd love to add a few non merged capable coins to my pool as secondary chains (either too litecoin or dogecoin likely), and multiple main chains merged mining. <edit>My Research So Far patching: -https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=68248.0 general merged mining info: -http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/273/how-does-merged-mining-work -http://dot-bit.org/Merged_Mining -https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Merged_mining_specification and either im blind, or what im looking for isnt quite in those sources (i may actually be blind lol its 3 am in ontario)</edit> Title: Re: Patching a coin for AUXPOW Post by: mrbodz on July 17, 2015, 11:50:30 AM Hey Mate
UNOMP Dev ahmedbodi here. Firstly the auxpow hard fork has to be done by the coin's dev. since its a consensus change. Secondly UNOMP only supports 1 aux chan per pool at the moment so it still wouldnt work for you even if done.

I understand that the dev needs to fully implement the change, but is there a way i can do a clean git clone, and create my own branch? then patch my own branch for auxpow? i realize its unlikely to be added to the main coin source and therefor will not be used... but im on a "quest for knowledge" and id love to learn the process anyways :)is there maybe some reading material anybody knows of that could get me started on the right path?
Title: Re: Patching a coin for AUXPOW Post by: mrbodz on July 24, 2015, 06:14:28 PM im afraid there isnt. it takes a good bit of research of various coins and posts to peice it all together
Ahmed Title: Re: Patching a coin for AUXPOW Post by: l8nit3 on July 24, 2015, 06:22:06 PM Well then i know where to start :) thank you for letting me know , maybe if im able to figure it out ill write one . Im also looking to learn how to add POS but i assume its the same... start searching through sources . Thanks again :)
