Title: Question for the Old Timers - 2011-2013 Post by: Niann on May 20, 2022, 06:39:00 AM Hello good people,
I used to quite a bit in the early days of Bitcoin and there is a question that has been bothering me for a while. Do any of remember the first pool that allowed you to mine bitcoin and namecoin at the same time? I remember you were able to merge mine both coins during a certain period, but for the life of me I can't remember the process or the pool. This would be during the days GPU mining just started. If any of you remember this please let me know, it has been annoying me for a while. Cheers and I hope you all have a great end of your week.

Title: Re: Question for the Old Timers - 2011-2013 Post by: Niann on May 21, 2022, 04:06:06 AM Multipool or Slush I reckon I think it was Multipool, not 100% sure but close. Thanks man, that was really bothering me. If anyone knows of other pools that did the merged mining thing back than please comment below.

Why not check other pools listed from this link below - https://miningpoolstats.stream/namecoin Title: Re: Question for the Old Timers - 2011-2013 Post by: os2sam on May 21, 2022, 11:44:46 PM If anyone knows of other pools that did the merged mining thing back than please comment below.

Here are a couple that I remember from back in 2011. BTCGuild was late 2011 so that was also a possibility: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=49417.0 Eligius was mid 2011: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=23768.0 There were a bunch more back then that had NMC. Many came and went quickly. -Dave Title: Re: Question for the Old Timers - 2011-2013 Post by: hZti on May 22, 2022, 07:53:17 AM If I remember correctly it was possible on many pool since if you solved a BTC block you would automatically be able to submit the same block to the other network, since it would run on a cloned chain on the identical block number (?) and the same algorithm. Multipool it was possible 100%.
