Merged P2pool mining - is it worthwhile compared to focused P2pool mining?

April 16, 2013, 03:03:20 AM

I found an old guide from early 2012 about setting up a P2pool server with merged mining for about 5 or 6 different types of coins together.

Say I setup a P2pool server focused just for a specific coin... and a P2pool server with this merged mining of multiple different coins. Am I going to get much in the way of a profitability change with one over the other? Is there a happy medium?

I also want to think I read something in BTC-e chat where someone said that merged mining wasn't worth it because it gets interrupted with a new work request while trying to work on one of the other coins. Taking that with a couple grains of salt, it being from BTC-e's chatbox and all.

"In a nutshell, the network works like a distributed timestamp server, stamping the first transaction to spend a coin. It takes advantage of the nature of information being easy to spread but hard to stifle." -- Satoshi
