So I've been thinking about another potential possibility for our next replacement POBH miner for heat mining.
I'm thinking of possibly using RandomX as our next POW algo and creating compatibility in BBP for merge mining XMR from BBP.

(Up til today, I was primarily considering a new POW protocol that would do some type of useful work, until the idea was considered, that the useful work might be the *mining revenue* from XMR - where miners could earn the electricity from (XMR) but still fully secure the chain with randomx).  This idea made me think of the benefits of less sell pressure and more income for the miners.

Im also thinking it would open up the possibility of all XMR users to have a desire to mine and be exposed to BBP.

The way it would work is this (potentially):
- BBP adopts RandomX as its core hash algorithm
- BBP creates a new pool that is both RandomX, Monero, and BBP compatible
- Miners mine BBP with RandomX as full fledged CPU miners with more arguments in the miner (IE multiple receive addresses)
- The pool has the capability to forward 100% of the solutions into Monero using the miners supplied monero address

I've been evaluating this today, and it appears to be 100% efficient (another words, it would not be as if you are merge mining and switching between protocols with inefficient losses).

Basically, the pool miner would win the XMR round anytime the miners difficulty is below the pool target, but for every XMR hash, we would test for an equal BBP solution like this:
 must equal X11(PrevBlockHash + RandomXHash) < BBP_DIFF, plus block.RandomXsource must match RandomX hash (ensuring our prevBlockHash is the one in the round), and, the core wallet ensures this randomX set meets the difficulty of the BBP block.  This basically means it would be possible for BBP miners to earn 100% of the revenue from randomx hashes, while still hashing BBP with an equal chance of solving the current BBP block using the same spent hashpower for the current hash minus a tiny bit of overhead (for checking each one, which I assume to be 10% or less).

Some of the potential upsides I see to this:
- More BBP exposure
- More Revenue for the miners
- Less sell pressure
- Monero users get exposed to BBP and the gospel

I thought I would throw this out there, so if anyone has any downsides or questions please pose them.  In the mean time, Ill do some thorough investigation and consider making a proof of concept for this to ensure this is feasible.

From the high level, it appears to be a good solution for us on the heat side.  We would of course make the POBH verses compatible and keep the bible in, for biblical reference.
