Hints for CN coins
Post a comment to this issue if we say anything important CN / Monero clones need to know. Edit your previous comment instead of adding more than 1 comment per person. I'll start.
There were some discussions yesterday about merged-mining and how to stop the capability. We are running a fork of TurtleCoin and wondering if you guys ever came up with a good solution we could start testing...?
Just do a hard fork to a new block template with no TX_Extra
Might be good to have some sort of quote attribution so we know who to ping @zawy12

@2ACoin in case of your coin, recommendation could be the following:
- in case you don't wish to be merge-mined as a child coin (as it happens now), you should return to similar to version 1 block template as Karbo did (also @ran (BBSCoin) proposed a different trick that could work which just checks vin/vout of parent block coinbase TX)
- in case you don't wish to be merge-mined as a parent coin (in your case AEON is the parent), you should block merge mining tag in your extra, for example, as proposed by @Aiwe (Karbo), somewhere in Currency::checkProofOfWorkV1
But please note that in case of BBS coin, the merged mining is just side effect. The attack could be the same even without any merged mining.
If you don't want to be mined as parent coin, this should prevent miners include mm_tag in coinbase tx using modified daemon https://github.com/seredat/karbowanec/commit/79da48c914bf8d90d32e4ed4e8ae6564c60f3f22
Removing merged mining as slave coin is in these two commits: https://github.com/seredat/karbowanec/commit/5d4c87d5064c402bd0bcede05002b1d727dd615b https://github.com/seredat/karbowanec/commit/0ba448f4cb411023d7092a954596b3e95137c9e3
