Title: Profit: Merged Mining or Bitcoin Mining Post by: QiVX on July 16, 2012, 12:47:11 PM As the title says, which of the two offer more profit for myself.
I have a 3 GHash/s rig, and mine at OzCoin. So I can either Bitcoin mine (what I am doing now), or Merge Mine. Which one offers more profit my end, or are they basically the same, eg some times merged pas more other times it pays less. Cheers Title: Re: Profit: Merged Mining or Bitcoin Mining Post by: racerguy on July 16, 2012, 02:08:09 PM I thought ozcoin had merged mining? Anyway merged mining gives you an extra 0.5% abouts so I don't see why you wouldn't do it.

Could I in any way receive less than mining bitcoin itself? Thanks Title: Re: Profit: Merged Mining or Bitcoin Mining Post by: 01BTC10 on July 17, 2012, 01:51:40 PM Merged mining is basically a freeroll since it won't need more resource so do it if you like money.

Title: Re: Profit: Merged Mining or Bitcoin Mining Post by: fabrizziop on July 19, 2012, 02:03:20 AM From what I understand, if you mine with slush's pool(mining.bitcoin.cz) and you don't specify a Namecoin address, you still generate them, but your reward goes to the miners that specified a namecoin address. So, with that I made some profit at the beginning of merged mining.
