All other sha256 coins combined only account for less than 2% of bitcoin's hashrate, so this doesn't really change the arguments.

- bouncycastle 6y agoNo, this is not what we are discussing. We are discussing using bitcoin's hashrate to mine other coins. No modification to bitcoin is needed, the other coins simply need to be aware of bitcoin and be able to verify bitcoin's blocks. Other coins can have an auxillary mining algorithm too, or even merged mined with other coins besides BTC, doesn't have to be sha256.
