Re: [ANN][DOGE] Dogecoin - very currency many coin - v1.8 Required Update
Merge mining is working with p2pool!
Currently merge mining DOGE with POT, GLC and NYAN. Will soon add DGC, WDC, CRC, CSC, and ANC.
Need to figure out how to payout any found doge blocks to the miners! Let me know if anyone comes up with something.
Going to try using proxypool to handle the autopayout of doge by having miners use their DOGE address as the password but if anyone else has a better way please post!

What, how are you doing that? I thought the only scrypt coins merge mineable right now were doge and LTC. When did all the other coins get the AUXpow merge patch added? How could this news not be all over the place?
Can anyone else confirm?
Thx
LOL, what...you don't believe me Vlad2Vlad?
DOGE will accept any POW scrypt coins as it's AuxPOW.Get the DOGE daemon going and then add --merged http://rpcuser:rpcpassword@127.0.0.1:22555 to the end of your startup script replacing u/p and IP with whatever your using. You can combine multiple auxPOW coins...not just DOGE but I haven't bothered looking into the other ones.
You will see something like "Got new merged mining work!" every so often in the console.
Limitations:
- Only the local node's hashrate is used for finding merge mined coins (DOGE in this case). Not the entire p2pool's hashrate.
- Reward on found merge mined blocks go to the local wallet.
- Have not figured out an easy way to distribute found DOGE blocks to the local nodes workers.
Room for improvement:
- Enable the entire p2pool's hashrate to work on merge mined coins or at least combine the nodes that are using merged mined coins.
- Immediate payout on found merged mined coins as cleanly minted coins with no transaction history just like the main coin.
These two item could be accomplished by having an auxP2PoolShareChain for the coins that support auxPOW. It would need to identify the coin and miners working on it as only the workers on nodes with the merged mined coin enabled should get the block reward. Not a trivial task and beyond my time and skill level.
