Hello all!
I have 2 questions here im hoping someone in the crypto community knows the answer to. I've been working quite hard on building a merged-minng, profit-switching, auto-exchanging, multi-pool lately (using unomp and combining a few guides online). I'm still fairly early in my build (after many full wipes and starting from scratch) but after some research ive come up with these 2 questions.
1)How does one go about patching a scrypt coin for auxpow as a secondary coin? is this possible by a pool owner for use on their pool (which i could then upload to github as a commit?) or does the dev have to implement the merged mining in the coin source?
2)does both the parent coin and secondary coin need to be patched? can i make multiple parents mine the same secondary aux coins? (due to my goal of profit-switching.. id like all my "switchable" coins to be merged mining.
I was reading around and found this post
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=68248.0 however it only mentions sha256 patching, and doesn't source the patch files. I'd love to add a few non merged capable coins to my pool as secondary chains (either too litecoin or dogecoin likely), and multiple main chains merged mining.
