Title: how to solve merged mining conflicts among coins with different block time
Post by: langyu on August 09, 2016, 12:49:54 PM
As we known,  nmc and bitcoin both have  block time of 10 minutes , what about  huntercoin (2 minutes) ? 
Are there any special in huntercoin (auxpow block) data structure,  for example  the prev_hash in parent block  header are all the same ?
