Merged Mining. Merged mining works by solving for hashes which are valid across multiple blockchains. The best-known example of merged mining is Bitcoin / Namecoin, a simple explanation of which can be found here. As Namecoin cloned the SHA256 method employed by Bitcoin, a miner's hash could solve a block on either chain with equal probability. Of course, this equal probability demands both blockchains be of equal difficulty. Namecoin's difficulty was driven far higher than its value by maintaining merged mining through linkage to Bitcoin's difficulty. But it seems a new type of pool has....
