Title: Can bitcoin be merge mined with bitcoin? Post by: wingding on May 30, 2017, 03:06:16 PM From bitcoin wiki I understand that any SHA256 coin can be merged mined with bitcoin, hence my question.
And my follow-up question is; can a bitcoin clone with a separate blockchain be merged mined with bitcoin? Title: Re: Can bitcoin be merge mined with bitcoin? Post by: domob on May 30, 2017, 06:15:10 PM Only coins that explicitly support being merge-mined can be - so the answer to (both) your questions is no. Furthermore, Namecoin, for instance, is a coin that explicitly allows both non-merge-mined and merge-mined blocks - but it has explicit provisions to prevent anyone to merge-mine it with itself (for good reason, obviously).
