Merged Mining
-------------
Eloipool supports merged mining using the setworkaux/gotwork RPC interface.
A simple port of namecoin's merged-mine-proxy to this interface is available
here:
https://gitorious.org/~Luke-Jr/bitcoin/luke-jr-bitcoin/blobs/namecoin_mmm/contrib/merged-mine-proxy
Please be advised that:
- Eloipool does not provide any interface for longpolling aux chains.
- Empty and longpoll merkle roots are generated only as-needed, and will NOT be
regenerated when CoinbaseAux changes. This means shares found by getwork
miners after a longpoll will almost always be stale on your aux chain(s).
This problem does not affect GBT or stratum miners.
